[edit] Girls' High School and College

This article was prodded and deprodded: while it's possible the school is notable I can't see anything in the article itself to indicate that it is. Mark Grant 18:51, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete unless it can be expanded --Alex | talk / review me | 18:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep, but rename correctly, because this cannot be the school's full title. Secondary schools generally meet the criteria to be kept. But, unless this one is given the correct title, it is actually nonsense. Fiddle Faddle 19:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Schools are inherently notable. Billy Blythe 19:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• thought You know the article as it stands needs rather a lot of work, especially renaming. I think it is a misjudgement to say that it is inherently notable as it stands. Fiddle Faddle 20:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - I was going partly by the proposed WP:Schools policy, which it doesn't seem to meet based on any information included in the article: claiming that _any_ school is notable simply by existing seems silly to me. Mark Grant 23:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep. This school, like all other schools, is notable. We must not allow the Wikipedia project's most precious articles to be removed by deletionists. --ForbiddenWord 20:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment It seems absurd to me to claim that all schools are notable. Most statements of the form 'All X are Y' are easily disproven, and this one certainly seems to fit that bill. Valrith 20:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment FW, you make these claims again and again. You have thus far failed to give any reasoning behind the claim that all schools are notable nor have you somehow given any backing to your claim that these are somhow are "most precious articles." To be blunt the claim about the preciousness of these articles is ridiculous to anyone who works on this project on more than one area, and the totality of the statement "We must not allow the Wikipedia project's most precious articles to be removed by deletionists" is unecessarily divisive and uncivil.

• Comment I have renamed this article so that it has a name now associated with Allahabad. Thsi will also allow better notability to be established. The prior name was too generic. Fiddle Faddle 20:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:SCHOOLS unless notability is established. —dustmite 23:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

  Remember WP:SCHOOLS is only a proposed guideline. --Alex | talk / review me | 12:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes, but the main point is that nothing about this school makes it particularly unique (at least the way the article is written now). The guideline is just useful to cite. —dustmite 15:18, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but overhaul This can be justified, but the article doesn't yet do so.--Holdenhurst 15:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete NOT all schools are notable and this seems to be one that's not. Valrith 20:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletions. -- Mereda 10:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep High schools are notable and articles about schools outside the developed English speaking countries are especially welcome in Wikipedia. Piccadilly 22:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I have some minimal sympathy that post-seconday education has inherent notability to it, but if anything were a counterexample to that claim, this would be it. We don't have independent sources about the school, the school has no notable alumni nor anything else that makes it in any way anything different from 1000s of other schools. JoshuaZ 03:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. The Boys' High School and College, Allahabad article is larger and makes some claims to notability. If these are sibling institutions, then I suppose that mantle of notability transfers itself.Hornplease 09:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No sources. Catchpole 12:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per WP:SCHOOLS. --Vsion 01:05, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
