Archived deletion debate for this article, consensus was to keep:

Since we're still removing entries on high schools --Rlandmann 04:33, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC) ,jb,

Keep. It's a perfectly good article. It's well-written. It's wikified. It's not an ad for the place. And what is with this sudden attempt to reverse precedent and put all high schools on VFD? Putting this here is pushing it too far. Ambivalenthysteria 08:00, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Properly written, a high school is important enough for wikipedia. -- Solitude 12:11, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete; though I will agree that the article is well-structured, it's the school itself that doesn't impress me. RLC is only 24 years old (see its homepage at http://www.rlc.qld.edu.au/ ) and a Google search returns just 381 hits. Are we or are we not trying to catalog all of the world's secondary schools, no matter how notable, in this Wikipedia? (And if we are, am I expected to add my former high school?) --Ardonik 17:15, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
Keep, hopefully most colleges will get an article before too long Williamb 09:37, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Be aware, however, that in Australia "college" generally means what would be called a "high school" in the US. The US term "college" in the US is (again, generally) a "university" in Australia. To clarify - this particular article is about a small high school in the semi-rural outskirts of Brisbane. --Rlandmann 21:59, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Weak keep: According to Wile E. Heresiarch, the notability rule is in force for all schools. In which case the argument that it's a school is not sufficient for either a delete or keep. By this standard, I feel that this particular school's parochial interests and desires to hit a subspecialist group allow it some distinction from its kin. Geogre 02:01, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep. I used to be pretty adamantly against keeping such articles, but then I realized how with categories, these admittedly trivial articles can be properly grouped with the communities in which they are notable and help flesh out information. In other words, I now think there's a place for these. Postdlf 02:53, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep. It sounds a bit like self-promo but there is information that is useful as well. I think school pages are extremely useful. Where else can you find info about schools as easily as on Wikipedia without going to the schools site? --Sekizaru 21:56, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

This article serves very little purpose. It is providing information that could easily be found on RLC's website.

[edit] Regarding controversies

Can all editors please note that we're here to be neutral and verifiable regarding the two controversies. I'll admit that my addition of the Darville claims needs a source, and I'm currently chasing one up. Regarding Warren Schneider, though, I will police any unwarranted additions thoroughly. If particular claims can be sourced, then source them as you add them. Just because he's been convicted of a serious crime doesn't mean that we can relax that policy.

[edit] Uniform Colours

An anonymous IP's been writing that the uniform is now "varying shades of yellow and green". Put simply, there's no proof of this that I can find (and this includes talking to people connected to the school). I'm not a betting man, but I'd lay odds this is your standard nonce-vandalism. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

-Bet a million your brother is Christopher Tornatore. He's a member of wikipedia and twice as nerdy o.0

Not in the slightest. I don't know the bloke you're talking about. Now, if you can't remain civil and refrain from personal attacks against other members, you might want to consider cooling off.

[edit] Logo

This is getting silly. There's no indication anywhere that a new logo was even suggested, let alone designed today. If a new logo appears, it'll need sourcing - same as everything else here. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 10:20, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

-then you'll have to wait till tommorow when the newsletter comes out. Until then!

I can wait as long as it takes. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Update: I'm told that the RLC Foundation has a new logo (or perhaps a logo, since nobody seems sure if there used to be one). None of my sources agree on what it looks like, or whether it can be described in the words used here. That said, sticking it in unsourced is never a good idea and one has to question the usefulness of a vague description of the logo of a body connected to the school in an article on the school itself. A few words about the Foundation wouldn't go amiss here, though. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
