[edit] Earnock High School Closure

Earnock High School Closure (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

no assertion of notability for either the school or this event. — Swpb talk contribs 01:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete Has no sources at all. I could possibly see this being included in an article on the school itself, but not by itself.Ganfon 01:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete (I don't see it meeting any WP:CSD criteria) as non-notable events (schools are closed and demolished all the time, being structures with a finite lifetime, renovation even more common). If the old or the new school is notable, then this could be a note in that article. --Dhartung | Talk 02:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. If an article on the school exists, its closure should be mentioned there. --Metropolitan90 05:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Metropolitan90. Chairman S. Talk Contribs 06:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with Earnock High School if exists, else Delete. - PocklingtonDan 09:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, if merged it should go to Calderside Academy, though that could probably bundled in this AfD as well because it is the same situation as the nominated article and they are related.--Isotope23 16:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Just a couple of relevant links... there is apparently an online petition to stop the school closure on ipetitions (can't link because it is blacklisted)... not that this constitutes a reliable source. Here is a mention on a parliment site. This mentions "Earnock High School, Hamilton" which has a website. I'm not Scottish, so I have no idea how Hamilton relates to South Lanarkshire geographically or politically, but I assume this is the same school. Regardless I don't think this article should stand as is. It should either be deleted, merged, or moved to an article on Earnock High School with sourced mention of the impending closure.--Isotope23 16:26, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Earnock High School does not exist. Bigtop 17:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per bigtop and with funny behavior of annon. FirefoxMan 17:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • The article has now been updated with sources —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.40.19.166 (talk) 17:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete per nom. Xiner (talk, email) 20:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete the notability of the school article was questionable, but I think that there's no reason to have an article for the closure of this school. TSO1D 21:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete the closing of a school tends not to be notable.-- danntm T C 21:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I have now also nominated Calderside Academy for AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Calderside Academy — Swpb talk contribs 01:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The closure of a non-notable school will not, even five years from now, be notable. —C.Fred (talk) 01:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable: schools are closed all the time. WMMartin 16:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
