[edit] Killara High School

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Reason given was "orphan vanity". Article does not establish the notability of this school. — Gwalla | Talk 02:44, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Once you remove this unsourced POV statement (it's not POV as suggested above. "Killara has a strong reputation in academic achievement, music, dance, sport, debating and strong participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme.", there's really not much of an article left. Could all those keep voters, please include reasons regarding the article, instead of it being a school? - Mgm|^(talk) 09:48, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Only two keep votes mentioned that it's a school, and both of them explained why they consider that to be a good reason. DoubleBlue further provided some very interesting links on the matter. Personally, I think we should keep this article because it's informative, easily expandable, and useful to people. I don't see any drawbacks to keeping it — do you?

  • While I agree that it should be better referenced directly as a source, the external links do verify the statements in the article. For example, see Killara news page particularly the last two items: Premier's Awards for All Round Excellence and HSC RESULTS 2004. If you think it is poorly referenced, I suggest adding an appropriate tag like {{Unreferenced}} or editing it. DoubleBlue (Talk) 15:38, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Very good stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:13, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Accurate, expandable, verifiable, encyclopedic. Imagine if all stubs were up to those standards. Factitious 12:00, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Stub it, and hope somebody affiliated with it sees it and expands it. --Zpb52 15:59, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, good stub. Christopher Parham (talk) 16:49, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC)
• Keep How about the deletionists give a reason other than it being a stub and alleged lack of notability, neither of which is a valid reason for deletion? CalJW 18:21, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
