[edit] Urrbrae Agricultural High School

High school with 'almost 1000 students'. Probable misspelled title. Doubtful notability. Delete Radiant! 12:25, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

• Urrbrae is not misspelled, it's Australian. Genuine school. Terrible article, though. I believe this is one of those specialist schools (in this case, agriculture). Looking at the address at the bottom of their website, I'd suggest a merge of the useful information to Netherby, South Australia if that article existed. A google suggests that it is adjacent to part of the University of Adelaide and a number of agricultural research institutes, so it probably should be mentioned in an article on the local geographical area. Since we don't appear to have an article on Urrbrae, Netherby, South Australia, or Mitcham, South Australia it looks like a mention in the Educational Institutions section in the main Adelaide article is currently the only option for a merge.

• Keep. I'd urge the author to read a lot of Wikipedia's policy and style pages and come up with a decent article for this. In my experience no one questions the notability of school articles if they are well-written. Trilobite (Talk) 15:09, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. A good stub - SimonP 16:35, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Trilobite's experience is not mine. Non-notable school. Delete. RickK`

• Keep. Agree with Trilobite. —RaD Man (talk) 02:28, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep if there are university entries why not schools (oh, wait, why not delete the whole wikipedia)... Beta_M ^talk, |^contrib (Ë-Mail)
  • If there are Nobel Prize winner articles, why not articles on everyone with any science related qualification? Oh hold on, that's just silly. See the point? There has to be a line somewhere. Average Earthman 11:10, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Because universities do scientific research, and schools do not. For the same reason, the White House is listed in WP, but the Albuquerque town hall is not. Radiant! 13:04, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • If there are articles on actors, why not on every person who has ever lived? RickK 22:28, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Find the exact location, merge it into that article and delete - Skysmith 11:18, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a decent school stub, valid topic. --Andylkl 18:46, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, obviously - David Gerard 23:10, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
