[edit] Glenlyon Norfolk School
- – (View log)
Non notable school. Most of the article comprises of local gossip, with no real encyclopedic value. Delete unless sources showing this school is notable to anyone other than someone whose iPod was stolen. J Milburn 13:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. My personal favorite is the list of 07 grads at the bottom. All of the blue wiki links go to other people, an actress and a footballer to name a couple. The iPod theft is interesting, but that doesn't assert any notability. --Cyrus Andiron
15:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC) - Delete per nom and the argument against such schools archives at WP:SCHOOLS. Eusebeus 23:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Reply WP:SCHOOLS is a resoundingly rejected proposal and is an invalid justification for deletion of this or any article. WP:SCHOOLS has been waved around repeatedly at multiple AfDs as if there is something relevant in there that justifies deletion. If there is some section that shows that there is an accepted, agreed-upon consensus "argument against such schools archives [sic] at WP:SCHOOLS", please point us to it. Otherwise, it would seem that this approach of referencing WP:SCHOOLS as an argument for deletion is simply not valid. Alansohn 11:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. A fairly large, independent school. Makes sense for a school like this to have its own page rather than simply being included on a page about the school district. Dorange 23:56, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: 'Fairly large' does not equate to notable. Perhaps if there were some decent press stories about it... J Milburn 15:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep This is quite a notable private school. This article should be improved and expanded. And there are a few press stories in the local papers about this school, usually about it's sports programs. Search it in the Times Colonist, or something. Potato 93 01:18, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- keep please this school looks notable to me too can be merged to locality also yuckfoo 00:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I am still seeing nothing that gives any reason to keep. Does anyone have any sources about why this school has any significance outside of its local area? J Milburn 11:25, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Doesn't meet WP:N in any way I can see. Nick Garvey 00:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- Butseriouslyfolks 01:26, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:V. It is a clear policy of Wikipedia that articles must be based on reliable, cited sources. This one has none, so it has to be deleted, regardless of how WP:N the subject may be. When somebody is sufficiently inclined to write a properly sourced article, the subject will have a WP entry, provided notability is asserted and sourced. --Butseriouslyfolks 01:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep School is one of only seven schools in the Northern Hemisphere that offer the International Baccalaureate program at all three levels, out of more than 1,000 IB schools in the region. Notability requirements have been satisfied. Alansohn 02:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per lack of notability. >Radiant< 10:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
