School that is non-notable Phgao 10:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Appears to be of little note, although most of the time you're pissin in the wind by posting one of these AfDs for schools. --NMChico24 10:39, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable school. Keb25 10:46, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Please explain what you mean. Phgao 10:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Assuming you're directing this to me, I'm just saying that most of the time a bunch of dogoodnicks come on here and defend every schoolhouse on the planet as being inherently notable. Since we can't possibly get enough of worshiping children these days... --NMChico24 11:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This school is real! type it on google. There is enough information. I searched some website about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mynameisnatasha (talk • contribs) — Mynameisnatasha (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Comment: Just being there does not make it notable. - Rjd0060 15:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. If all we can identify from reliable sources is that it exists, there are many classes of things or people which exist but are not notable. Orderinchaos 13:02, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:N. STORMTRACKER 94 14:06, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: NN school (one of a thousand+ on WP). - Rjd0060 15:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as nn. Being real is not enough; notability is required. CRGreathouse (t | c) 19:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Doesn't assert notability and doesn't seem to have any. Maybe I'm a deletionist, but if there's an overarching school district by which this school would be contained, adding or confirming a single line acknowledging its existence would be sufficient, then delete this article.

  • Delete csd/a7, claims no notability whatsoever, and wp:not#theyellowpages, wikipedia is not a directory of indiscriminate information. And no I'm not a "deletionist", I just want articles about schools to be encyclopedic.--Victor falk 21:39, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Primary schools are generally not notable. Fails WP:N, WP:ORG. It might be worth a mention in the Lutheran schools in Australia article? Twenty Years 11:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This school is fairly new and does not have a great history.I think there is enough information and references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mynameisnat (talk • contribs) — Mynameisnat (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    • Mynameisnatasha is the sockpuppet of Mynameisnat. Keb25 12:27, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - fails WP:N and WP:RS. The problem is that the school being fairly new and not having a great history actually suggests that the subject is, at least for the present, not notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. Notability requires "significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject". I can't think of any independent reliable source which would verify anything other than the existence of the school (and often, sadly, my observation is that newer schools meeting our notability criteria do so for the wrong reasons, such as extensive media coverage of sexual abuse at the school, or a fire burning it down). I've never been particularly deletionist and have tried to save articles before (sometimes successfully) which are in a poor state but about a subject worth covering - however this isn't one of them.

  • Delete, as per above. Too new to really be notable, and no real reliable sources apart from totally trivial ones that merely establish its existance. Merely existing has not normally been held as sufficient reason to keep a school article. Lankiveil 09:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC).
  • KeepWhat do you mean not Notable!!! This school has won many awards in music, got gold in athletics and came first in Numeracy and Literacy Day. This school is notable and is you delete it, you will not know any information about it. Look at the website: http://www.goodnews.qld.edu.au/schoolweb/home.php b00349 20:24, 18 October 2007 (UTC). — b00349 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    • OK, basically you need a source of all this "stuff" that makes the school notable. For example: newspaper articles, books, websites. Without these, its not notable according to wikipedia. Also, these books and websites etc, cannot be produced by the school or any affiliated organisation. Twenty Years 13:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable, just another primary school. Loopla 15:52, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not yet notable. • Lawrence Cohen 16:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
