[edit] College-Ready Math-Science School

Articles about schools that fail to assert the notability of the subject. All are contested prods. Also nominated are Bosworth Commuity College and Clapham School. MER-C 12:53, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep the nominator was warned about prodding schools. NormR 12:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

User just got blocked for vandalism. MER-C 13:20, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, the articles should be verifiable and this this is a very unhelpful grouping of articles for deletion (a community college in England and an elementary school in America?). JYolkowski // talk 13:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. These schools are notable. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 17:17, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Schools are generally not notable. Cedars 00:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• This is an odd grouping, but I'd say strong delete on the header article (regardless of your position on school articles, how can one be notable when it doesn't even exist yet?), and delete on the others due to lack of notability. Opabinia regalis 01:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Correction: it's just the building that doesn't exist yet. Still not a notable school. Opabinia regalis 00:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete All as insufficiently notable and lacking credible, third-party sources as required by WP:V. I agree these probably should have been nominated separately, however. --Satori Son 04:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, schools assert notability, and some cleanup is needed. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 07:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This may be a sad example of how people don't bother actually reading the articles under question. As Opabinia notes, this school doesn't exist yet. Hence, WP:NOT, viz. crystal ball. nn per the lengthy debate that remains unresolved at WP:SCHOOL. (vote amended) Eusebeus 09:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Nominating these schools together makes no sense at all since they don't seem to have anything in common. Despite the confusion of some of the delete voters, the schools do exist and the school year has started - hence if that is the basis of discussion there is nothing to debate. Needs expansion and more references. --JJay 16:27, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Bosworth Commuity College and delete the other two. Arbusto 23:20, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep/Rename Bosworth Commuity College. The other two can be merged into their local community page(s). — RJH (talk) 15:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep them all -- these have little to do with each other; a community college, a private school, and a charter school? Why not nominate apples and oranges while we're at it. Silensor 20:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment, redo AfD with seperate listings, there clearly will be no consensus for this ackward set of articles. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 21:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Mass nominations are pointless and unhelpful in achieving consensus. RFerreira 22:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and remember mass noms are in poor taste and generally blow up in your face.  ALKIVAR™ 02:24, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Just wanted to say that grouped nominations are often appropriate (and NOT in "poor taste") when the subjects in question clearly all have the same level of notability (eg. Starcraft units, albums by a particular artist, etc. - would YOU want to nominate every character in non-notable arbitrary webcomic for deletion separately?). These probably shouldn't have been grouped together as clearly some schools can be notable and others may not even pass WP:V. Wickethewok 15:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep all per Silensor and Alkivar. Though Wickethewok is correct that mass nominations can be appropriate in some situations ("often" is debatable), they are not appropriate in the case of schools. --Myles Long 16:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all, minding that the three of these schools are unrelated. Bahn Mi 00:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Bosworth Commuity College and Delete the other two per Arbusto. Are keep votes because of a mass nomination really valid? Vegaswikian 02:42, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
