[edit] Carlton South Public School

Carlton South Public School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable primary school in Sydney with lists of vice captains and school captains. The book noted in the footer is not in the State Library of NSW catalogue. Orderinchaos 04:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - There is a book on it that is mentioned in the article, and i feel it is therefore notable. If it isnt mentioned in the state library of NSW, who cares? Twenty Years 11:10, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
    • From WP:RS: "Reliable sources are credible published materials with a reliable publication process; their authors are generally regarded as trustworthy, or are authoritative in relation to the subject at hand." If we can't even find the book, it's a bit hard to judge not only this, but which information was actually used. Orderinchaos 11:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Published book about school would be a strong claim of notability, but further details are required. Article will benefit greatly from expansion. Alansohn 16:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Lots of schools write books about their own history, get a vanity press to print them, and sell them to parents for fundraising. That doesn't meet the independence criterion of WP:RS. And I see no evidence [1] that this book is anything but such a vanity publication, given that it has no ISBN, no publisher, and no record in the official library of the state in which it was published. cab 23:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:N. There is nothing that even indicates that the school history is a book, much less a published book; it could very well be a research paper or promotional brochure produced by the school. Therefore, this article probably fails WP:V as well. --Butseriouslyfolks 01:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, the book isnt in the NLA either. John Vandenberg 02:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. There are a couple of articles in Google News Archive where it is mentioned. [2]. The book could be a useful source but does not seem to have been widely distributed. Capitalistroadster 02:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:N,WP:RS - best source is a book that seems to be self-published if it isn't in the state library.Garrie 03:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless the book can be cited - for all we know it is a 3 page photocopy. Otherwise, there is nothing that distinguishes this school from a million others. - Tiswas(t) 14:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, as per above. Not convinced that the book noted is real or reliable. Otherwise seems an NN school. Lankiveil 04:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC).
