[edit] Clockhouse Primary school

Crap article about another nn school. Dunc|☺ 18:36, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Finally, a school article I'm familiar with. It's not called "Clockhouse Primary school", it's either Clockhouse Infant School or Clockhouse Junior School, so move it to one of those when this article is kept. —Xezbeth 19:28, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Agree with Xezbeth, and move, or (very much second choice) merge with London Borough of Havering, the Local Education Authority. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:15, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, please note that Xezbeth has not voted. RickK 21:24, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • I expect that the closer of this listing will be able to determine whether a person who says "move it to one of those when this article is kept" is voting or not. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:53, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. We're going down to the preschool level now? --Carnildo 22:51, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Many schools do educate young children. This one happens to be a complex of two schools (infant and junior) that occupy the same premises and educate children up to age 11. There is a nursery, but what of it? How does this affect the fact that it educates 11-year-olds? Should a university that shares premises with a kindergarten be deletable? --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:59, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable, wikipedia:important topic. Kappa 23:46, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge if not Delete. Verifiable is not encylopedic. Vegaswikian 04:31, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, not important to a significant enough number of people outside the immediate geographical area to warrant a separate article, and since Collier Row is so short it can happily accomodate it. Average Earthman 08:59, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. —Lowellian (talk) 13:23, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable, wikipedia:important topic. SchmuckyTheCat 20:12, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable and NPOV. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:19, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • As was 11111 (Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/11111). "Verifiable and NPOV" are not our sole criteria. In every case so far, people espousing this rationale have actually turned out to have a different rationale when pressed. (See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Wikimedia In Memoriam 9/11, for example.) Please explain your actual rationale. Uncle G 09:11, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
    • True enough. My rationale is broader but I presumed that this topic had already been discussed to death so I haven't generally elaborated in the past. Thank you, nonetheless, for your interest in my vote. Firstly, Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Secondly, I believe schools are encyclopedic. Lastly, Verifiable and NPOV articles can be written and Jimbo says Verifiable and NPOV are enough. For more detail, see: Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Clockhouse Primary school#Rationale. DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:57, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • With respect, I think you only needed to point out that the article was "verifiable, NPOV and about a school". :) Wikipedia hasn't deleted a single school in over seventy nominations for deletion, and looking at the 25-or-so pending discussions I don't think that's about to change soon. I have no idea why anyone would want to vote on a number article; presumably people who are interested in numbers know which ones they think are interesting and which not. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:05, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. All schools are enduring physical and social institutions, and are therefore inherently encyclopedic.--Centauri 03:59, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Apart from the ones that don't endure, and are closed. Uncle G 09:11, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
