[edit] Kamuzu Academy

I'm not sure what the current policy for "school" articles is, but this one certainly doesn't establish notability in its present form. --Alan Au 05:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

• The policy is not to nominate school's to VfD, since they will be kept. On principal I vote Keep. Klonimus 06:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, there's no policy. There is a policy proposal that attempts a compromise and suggests merging rather than VfD'ing, especially since (real) high school articles are almost never deleted. See WP:SCH for the debate and guidelines. This article though, in its curent form, has basically no no content (4 words!) and so is basically speediable. I'll just wait for someone to expand it, since that's what usually happens when schools come here. --Dmcdevit·t 07:53, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Policy is established by practice. In practice there have been no significant school deletions for three months now. It isn't worth listing them for deletion--much easier to just clean them up. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:06, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Please don't nominate any more school articles, as it just is a waste of time to do so. CalJW 21:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
• keep please it is our policy to keep these and also what jim wants Yuckfoo 21:45, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. This article was listed for deletion just ten minutes after being created. The briefest search shows that the head of the school has been awarded an MBE for his work there, it has been called the Eton of Africa, that a BBC documentary was made about the school, and that the then head of Eton school was so impressed that he said that henceforth Eton should be known as "The Kamuzu of England. It really is the last school to list for deletion, and anyone could have saved us this discussion simply by googling and expanding instead of listing for deletion. We, after all, supposed to be editors. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:41, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Consider me sufficiently chastized. Would pointing to WP:SCH have been so difficult? (BTW, thank you Dmcdevit!) Geez, tough crowd.  :( --Alan Au 04:25, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• It's nice to have a member of Category:Schools in Malawi. Kappa 10:56, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia schools arguments.-Poli (talk • contribs) 20:44, 2005 July 27 (UTC)
• Keep given that it seems to be the most elite school in the country, albeit an LEDC. Dunc|☺ 11:36, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Please don't list schools. It's very tiresome to have to vote "keep" on all of them when the reasons for keeping or deleting are the same in each instance. Grace Note 00:16, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
