Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apeejay Public School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was to delete the copyvio. In order to save the article a /temp version was created, and moved to Apeejay School (Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi), that article is kept due to no consensus. I am not sure if there are any more schools with this name in India (I'm rather inclined to think that there are), and if this is so a disambig should probably be placed at Apeejay Public School. But for now, I will place a redirect there. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:21, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Apeejay Public School

This page seems to have no more merit than a personal page. The school should probably have its own website for this info, which is irrelevant to the general public LadyAphelion 01:43, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete all public schools (and since this one's not US, I mean precollegiate). Gazpacho 01:52, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
    • In what sense is this a "public school"? Kappa 02:12, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
      Oh, not the US usage I guess. Vote withdrawn. Gazpacho
  • Keep per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Also this article helps to address systemic bias and not all users have the luxury of internet access. Kappa 02:12, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • It was a copyvio. If anybody wishes to re-create a valid article, I suggest making a new one at Apeejay School (Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi) based on information at http://www.apeejay.edu/ and http://www.apeejay.edu/sheikhsarai/home.htm. There seem to be multiple Apeejay Schools run by the Apeejay Education Society. --rob 02:50, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Darn, I should have double-checked. Kappa 02:55, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Delete. (Yeah, I'm tired of arguing these cases properly too now.) --Last Malthusian 13:56, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Delete.--Isotope23 14:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Let's bring in a systemic bias against crummy articles on non-inherently-notable schools. Where it is in the world is irrelevant. Lord Bob 14:42, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: The copyvio means the article will be deleted regardless. The voting here will have no effect on that, and would not apply to a future article, on the same school, created under an appropriate name. --rob 16:54, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Very true, but I take any chance I can get to get in snarky comments about systemic bias. Lord Bob 17:13, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as both copyvio and useless schoolcruft article.Gateman1997 17:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as the article has been rewritten at Apeejay Public School/Temp. Erase the copyvio as required by policy. Silensor 19:00, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Question: Why is this being rewritten at Apeejay Public School/Temp? There are multiple schools with the exact same name, run by the same organization. Yet the rewrite talks about just one. A new article should have been made at Apeejay School (Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi). At best, this article should be a disambig page, but not a school article. --rob 19:22, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this school.--Nicodemus75 20:22, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: As per the request of rob, I have moved the rewritten article to Apeejay School (Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi). What impact does this discussion hold on an article written on a temp page which has now been forwarded to somewhere else? Are we discussing the copyvio, the potential creation of a disambiguation page, or the new article at Apeejay School (Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi)? Silensor 22:24, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Thanks for the move. Apeejay Public School has been listed on the copyright-problem page, and will be taken care of there (e.g. deleted in five days). If somebody opposes Apeejay School (Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi), they'll have to make a separate nomination for that article. In my opinion, this AFD is finally now over. --rob 23:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - its student achievement stats give it some claim to notability. Denni☯ 01:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Copyvio SchoolCruft --JAranda | yeah 02:13, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
  • keep this please and thank you for rewrite silensor Yuckfoo 03:55, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Rewritten article avoids copyvio but still does not provide anything notable about the school. See also Delete per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Delete. --Johntex\talk 09:35, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the rewrite at the new page; create a disambiguation page here once the copyvio is deleted. Christopher Parham (talk) 03:22, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and Redirect to the rewrite at Apeejay School (Sheikh Sarai, New Delhi).  ALKIVAR™ 06:05, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep the rewrite. Good stub about a top-performing school. --Tony SidawayTalk 22:12, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep all schools. Klonimus 07:55, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and redirect to the well done rewrite. Unfocused 06:57, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
