[edit] Jews Free School

It's a secondary ("high") school, albiet a very old and fairly successful one (golden beacon, etc). No vote. r3m0t talk 21:36, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, of course. Why nominate it if you don't intend to vote? Pburka 21:50, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this one ably demonstrates the dfference between a school that is notable and one that is not. Lots of history several notable alumni, and I think it's independent. Dunc|☺ 21:53, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, although when I saw it I thought it was some sort of neo-nazi high school. Ambiguous name ;) Meelar (talk) 23:39, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Schools are notable. UniReb 23:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Seems important to me. -- DS1953 01:08, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and move to Jews' Free School as official name (per Meelar). Among other claims to notability, it claims to have once (around 1900) been the largest school in the world by enrollment (it's smaller now). --Metropolitan90 01:22, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. (Although it says it is famous...) - brenneman(t)(c) 02:25, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Needs expansion. --Tony SidawayTalk 02:26, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This stub will surely grow over a period of time. I feel moving to Jews' Free School as official name (per Meelar) may be in order. Then, a redirection link may be created from the current name to Jews' Free School. --Bhadani 07:44, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • delete it's hardly the Brompton Oratory, Eton or Harrow, they are "famous" --TimPope 12:02, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't see why it should be deleted. Can be informative. But, the link that someone added to JFS has nothing to do there (just, if we add our schools to wikipedia and their informal names to everywhere, what will this become ?). —Claunia 12:45, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, great name. —RaD Man (talk 17:22, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Needs expansion. CalJW 19:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Bicycle for the usual reasons. --Nicodemus75 08:24, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep appears to have notable traits and per Schools for Deletion. Gateman1997 19:23, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and stop nominating schools until consensus is reached on them --Ryan Delaney talk 10:17, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
    • I suggest that people continue to nominate any article they genuinely feel should be deleted. Discussion is ongoing and,
      as long as everyone is civil, an AfD aids that discussion. - brenneman(t)(c) 23:06, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep It's very interesting. Unfocused 05:16, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's been in the news in a big country. That's good enough for me. --Idont Havaname 14:29, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep notable school in the UK, newsworthy and more than 100 years old... passes all my keep requirements.  ALKIVAR™ 05:25, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
