[edit] Campion Higher Secondary School, Tiruchi

Campion Higher Secondary School, Tiruchi (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article survived a prod, but my initial concerns have not been met. Most importantly, no sources are cited. Next, there are major clean-up/coherence issues. Why is there more info on the COBA than the actual school? What about the History section? What is up with phrases like It is the best school for men... and After a series of successes in his material life... It is likely that the subject meets notability requirements, but that alone is not enough to keep this article. I'd prefer that the article be re-written or brought up to standards, but barring that, I suggest deleting until a decent article can be written. The article is basically orphaned, so it's temporary absence wouldn't be missed.-Andrew c [talk] 15:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC) Andrew c [talk] 15:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete I'm going to need sources to attest notability when its obviously created by somebody with a COI - "It is the best school for men in Tamil Nadu" Corpx 01:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • 'Delete per Andrew. No assertion of notability. Eusebeus 21:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep All high schools are notable. Golfcam 23:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - this article definitely needs work but it in order to expand coverage of en.wikipedia in non-English speaking areas, I think we need to take into consideration that the beginning of an article is a good start and unlike Andrew c, I prefer not to wait until "until a decent article can be written". -- DS1953 talk 15:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Two comments regarding the above. "All high schools are notable"? is that wikipedia policy? If not, that doesn't seem like a valid argument to be kept. I disagree that this article is a good start. It cites not a single source, only has 3 sentences on the school, and the rest of the article is about different topics or simply nonsense. Remove the "History" and "COBA Campion Old Boy's Association" sections and what is left?-Andrew c [talk] 02:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep has source. making it better than 65% of articles on wikipedia.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 07:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Notability must be established by "significant coverage" from independent sources Corpx 07:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • There are no sources. Are you saying the external link to the official homepage is the source? (follows link) I just realized that just about all of the content is copyvio. Because of my involvement here, I want to avoid any bias conflict, so would another admin take a look at this matter? [1] and [2] are two examples of source copying.-Andrew c [talk] 17:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I tagged it for CSD Corpx 18:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Tiruchirapalli is the best option in my opinion. I have no doubt that the school exists, but we need to keep the article trimmed down to the bare necessities which can be verified through reliable third party sources. Burntsauce 18:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Needs a lot of work, but deletion is not the solution to that. Kayaker 23:16, 1 August 2007 (UTC).
