[edit] Highfields School

Highfields School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Notability issues. Completing process initiated by anon -- no vote/opinion from me. The JPStalk to me 20:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep This is a British secondary school. Most British secondary schools seem to have pages. If there is suddenly a wikipedia policy not to cover secondary schools then there are a lot of pages to be deleted. All the others in Derbyshire to start with. The anon user who listed this for deletion has only initiated this single AfD - is he saying that all the other comprehensives in England are more notable? If so, then Highfields is notable as the least notable secondary school in the country! I'm not saying it's a good page - far from it - just that it should be improved, not deleted.

  • Oppose ie keep Anon. user with no supporting argument proposes that a secondary school is not notable despite its lack of anonymity, references and history. I have added a more recent academic note and aplogise that the school article seems to focus on discipline minutae. (Please feel free to delate the worst examples!). Oppose as notable.

  • Keep, despite the issues mentioned, article subject meets the presumption of notability at WP:N. – Zedla (talk) 08:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - if going beyond generally believing secondary schools notable, I'd say the racism study helps to confer it in this case. matt91486 (talk) 09:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, I think that if all un-notable schools were deleted there would be less than a quarter of the good quality, informative articles about schools and that would be a real loss. Highfields (talk) (contribs) 16:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
