[edit] Elite Nine Australian Schools

Elite Nine Australian Schools (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

• Delete - this article is of no long standing benefit to the Australian education project and refers to a POV snapshot of an phenonemen that has significantly changed over time - as a historical item it has insufficient citations to back up - it is not supported by substantial corroborating evidence by subsequent research SatuSuro 03:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - As above. Subject is far too outdated to be accurate, and is only very briefly refered to in modern studies. Google search reveals no matches for 'Elite Nine Australian Schools' and 1 result for 'Encel's Top 9 Private Schools'. Loopla 03:11, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per SatuSuro. --Bduke 03:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete apart from concerns of it being out of date, notability is not evident. It was someone's opinion and never a widely accepted or even widely known categorisation. This wikipedia article makes it out to be a lot more than it is. (and I went to one of these schools and never heard about this til wikiepedia). --Merbabu 04:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per all above. aliasd·U·T 07:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Whilst it is not worth of an article on ots own, which has been well documented by others above, i do believe it would be worth a mention in the articles of the 9 schools concerned. Twenty Years 08:04, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Based on outdated information in 1970 monograph. WWGB 11:13, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 17:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per the nominator, this is far too ephemeral for an encyclopedia. Burntsauce 17:18, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - the schools are notable but Encel grouping them in a list isn't (or at least isn't any more). As other have said, this represents one person's opinion and not an accepted categorisation. Euryalus 21:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment This was discussed at the Australian Wikipedians' notice board, and can be found in the archived discussions. Confusing Manifestation 23:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I note that Encel doesn't have an article and the term hasn't been widely used. Capitalistroadster 02:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as above Recurring dreams 02:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
