[edit] Cromer high
Sigh - yes, I know there are other schools listed but, really, do we have to consider the alleged worthiness of every provincial state sinkhole in existence?? Delete. Eddie.willers 03:58, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. The alternative to keeping or merging schools is precisely to have to consider and vote on the alleged worthiness of each school and its article. Kappa 06:59, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe I'm dense, but I do not understand what is wrong with considering each article on its merits rather than applying either kind of a blinkered, blanket philosophy. And before anybody wheels out the biting-newbies question, well, the newbies are writing an encyclopedia too and scrutiny is an important part of that process. Oh, and I'm abstaining. -Splashtalk 22:57, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Wonderful, we'll have to spend our entire lives in this pit evaluating schools and their articles what joy. Kappa 23:03, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps. But if people relented on the blanket opinions (in both camps [yes, camps]) then perhaps the evaluations would at least be useful. -Splashtalk 23:21, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- I don't see how, there's no point deleting harmless articles when they could be quietly merged. Kappa 22:57, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

- Hmmm... a High School..... KEEP--Nicodemus75 15:20, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Fix the name if it's kept (but I really hope it isn't). Proto t c 15:22, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. "Consider and vote on the alleged worthiness of each school" is exactly what's appropriate. This article mentions nothing special or notable about the school. It's a Specialist school which sounds initially as if it might be slightly notable, but it turns out that "Currently there are over 2,000 specialist schools; which is over two thirds of the schools in England." The schools which are not specialist schools would appear to be more notable than those which are. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Schools are no more notable than apartment buildings. Bunchofgrapes 18:36, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- According to the article, which has been around since December last year the school professes to teach languages and serves Cromer and the surrounding villages. Since the article came up for deletion the names of the villages have been added. Sigh. Delete. Pilatus 23:28, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Hmmm. Notable staff? Nope. Notable students? Uh-uh. Notable location? No. Special programs? Nein. Historical noteworthiness? Apparently not. Serves a unique clientele? Only if the locals are. Any Earthly reason for keeping this article? Can't think of one. (Unless, "oh, but it's a school " counts.) Delete. Denni☯ 01:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Another NN School --Aranda56 01:44, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep schools affect thousands of people if you integrate over time. Klonimus 04:15, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Its that simple. Vegaswikian 05:49, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete only famous schools should have articles --redstucco 08:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. There is no explanation in the article about why this school is notable. Nandesuka 12:57, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep for the reasons defined within Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Silensor 17:47, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep There are thousands of schools in Wikipedia. They are added far quicker than they are nominated, let alone deleted. In a few years time there will be tens of thousands. Please get over this issue and move on to a useful project instead. CalJW 18:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- keep this important school article please wikipedia is not paper so why erase this Yuckfoo 18:47, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. The merits of the article are questionable but the merits of the subject seem strong to me. Christopher Parham (talk) 21:24, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep High schools are generally notable. Also, note, the link from the AFD notice to here, doesn't work (I assume because of a rename). --rob 05:57, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep schools ··gracefool |☺ 18:58, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. We should be encouraging this type of participation. Unfocused 21:42, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
