[edit] Houses at Scotch College, Perth

Houses at Scotch College, Perth (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable, unattributable, unencyclopedic, and spawning more such by people who say "Scotch has an article on their house system, why can't I create one on mine?!". Hesperian 12:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Anyone looking for information on this would look up the article on Scotch College, Perth. Capitalistroadster 01:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

    • Since when did one school become the style guide for school articles?Garrie 22:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, not encyclopædic outside the article on the school itself. Lankiveil 08:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC).
  • comment - only reason why I created this article is because people complained about the "prose" of the main article with a list of houses in it during a FAC.----HamedogTalk|@ 19:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
    • That was the assumption I reached even without reading your comment. It is best kept seperate. I am guessing it was this comment [[1]] which was a peer reviewGarrie 22:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This was clearly spawned into a seperate article so the coverage of the House System in the parent article could remain in prose format. Detail is best left in a seperate article - if this was a book, this article would be an appendix.Garrie 22:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I think everyone who is !voting here needs to look at Talk:Scotch College, Perth - Scotch College, Perth is clearly an excellent article regarding schools. Discussion at it's talk page indicated this material was making the article worse, not better and taking it right out of wikipedia would result in later contributors adding it back in for completeness.—Preceding unsigned comment added by GarrieIrons (talk • contribs)
  • Comment The nomination for this deletion is on the issue of precedence - if one metropolitan Perth school has a separate article on an internal structure issue - then all would be justified in creating similar list/ articles - and in the case of Perth, W.A. - that would involve the creation of a series of articles that would by the terms of WP:N be highly suspect. This nomination was not made on the merits or otherwise of the school article. If someone did the formatting a more concisely, the list in all likelihood could return to the original article.

    • Precisely. Question: What is the predominant colour of the tartan of the Cameron House of Scotch College in Perth? Answer: Who cares? This material shouldn't have been in the Scotch College article in the first place, so there is certainly no need to roll it out into a daughter article. It should be merged back into Scotch College, Perth as "There are ten houses: Alexander, Anderson, Brisbane, Cameron, Ferguson, Keys, Ross, St Andrews, Shearer and Stuart."

  • Delete. —Moondyne 03:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Is it really notable to name the ten house at the school individually? i think that would be more for booklet to new students. Would it seriously detract from the article to omit that the school has ten houses, and their names are:Alexander, Anderson, Brisbane, Cameron, Ferguson, Keys, Ross, St Andrews, Shearer and Stuart? i think the answer is no. Removing this will make no difference to the quality of the main article. SMBarnZy 07:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Totally agree with comment by Hesperian above. One sentence in the School article. That's it. --Bduke 10:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
