[edit] Heworth Grange Comprehensive School

Heworth Grange Comprehensive School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Insufficiently notable school. No external sources to demonstrate notability. Spartaz Humbug! 21:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletion discussions. —• Gene93k (talk) 21:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep: This is a slightly below average school [1], with little to make it notable. However, other non-notable schools in the area are listed on Wikipedia, so it seems slightly unfair to single out this one for deletion.--Seahamlass (talk) 23:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)--Seahamlass (talk) 23:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - this is a significantly (in UK terms) larger than average high school that plays a significant role in its community. Searching on the various formulations of its name show plenty of sources available that meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 01:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - OK, I have added the necessary multiple sources to ensure that the page meets WP:N and there are specific claims of notability. I would add that there are many other sources behind the Highbeam paywall. TerriersFan (talk) 02:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, does not appear notable even after additions. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an extremely tenuous argument for keeping; that actually supports deletion. CRGreathouse (t | c) 14:53, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Simply because it's too tedious to go through AfD discussions for high schools which pretty nearly always turn out to be notable once someone makes the effort to find sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep regretfully, I've come to agree with Phil about this. It will become accepted that we have all high schools like we have all railroad stations, as one of the quirks. all reference sources have their peculiarities.DGG (talk) 23:14, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per TerriersFan the subject definitely satisfies notability requirements, no comment on railway stations and the like. (jarbarf) (talk) 03:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Phil Bridger, sources by TerriersFan, and V, NOR, NPOV. DoubleBlue (Talk) 07:15, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and note that the wall has a noticable dent from the heads being banged against it in the same spot. Why can't we just pass WP:School and end the de facto implementation of it, which evidently requires continual AfD's for high schools, although they ALL are ALWAYS kept?

  • Keep multiple sources ensure that the page meets WP:N. Paste (talk) 17:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep this multiple award-winning school which has more than enough references to meet any reasonable verifiability and notability concerns. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 20:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
