[edit] Ashtree Primary School

A non-notable primary school. Dunc|☺ 14:29, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. As a failing primary school, it was put on special measures in the 1990s but was mentioned in the 1999-2000 OFSTED annual report as one of only five Hertfordshire primary schools to have undergone a "very substantial improvement" in the previous year, resulting the lifting of the special measures order. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:51, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Great, then let's have an article on the other five too. And the ones that get mentioned in the 2001 report, the 2002 report, the 2003 report... the 2004 report, the 2005 report, and those not just for Herts, but Cambs and Oxon and Bucks and so on and mention nothing of interest at all about any of them.

      • What is it with some people? This isn't Sesame Street, it's an encyclopedia. People who are interested in this information will find it; the only time that anybody else needs to look at it is when someone puts it up in one of these increasingly hopeless vote for deletion listings. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:53, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Haven't we had this discussion already? See Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Ashtree_primary_school. -- Visviva 15:14, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: Thanks to Visviva for an excellent cleanup job. This is now a very informative and useful article indeed. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:23, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this important information, sorry if it's not entertaining enough for your tastes. Kappa 16:53, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Hold on, this school is notable for failing, then not failing? You think this is notable? You think anyone outside of the small little catchment area of this school pays any attention to it whatsoever? It teaches the curriculum set for it, and even notable alumni would be irrelevent (it would be like listing supermarkets with notable shoppers, since the influence of one primary is much like another). This is only of any relevence whatsoever to the very local area, the catchment area of the school, so the useful information in this article should be merged to a relevent geographical article.

    • You're entitled to your opinion, but do you really think primaries have little influence on future life? It seems to run contrary to my own experience and I have no reason to believe myself unusual. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:45, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
      • No, it only has an effect in the immediate catchment area. The specified curriculum means that one non-failing primary is much like another non-failing primary. Besides, the water I drank in the last 48 hours has had an absolutely vital influence on my future life, but it would be daft to write an article on the specific drinks - vitality on an individual does not mean that it is individually notable.

  • Keep, notable school. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 04:07, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
  • People should consider eating apples more often as it's good for your health, and therefore delete. Radiant_* 08:18, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Stevenage and delete - Skysmith 08:49, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Why do the infoboxes for secondary schools contain an entry for enrollment, with no indication of what year they're talking about? Doesn't the enrollment on these schools change every year? It does where I live. Quale 15:41, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. James F. (talk) 17:38, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, as per the general consensus and outcome of the previous VfD discussion for this article. —RaD Man (talk 07:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and stop nominating schools. Ketsuban (is 1337) 03:30, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
