[edit] King's College (Taunton)

Does not assert notability. KeithD (talk) 19:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, move and expand. Notable, there aren't that many private boarding schools left and I would guess it has a pretty long history. the wub "?!" 22:55, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and movemoved to King's College (Taunton). From what I've seen this is an interesting institution, with interesting alumni[1]. My only fault with the school is its unoriginal name. --rob 23:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep this obviously notable school.--Nicodemus75 00:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Article presents absolutely no evidence of notability. Surely this school must have some sort of history. Denni☯ 03:30, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. If you wanted to try to change the school precedent (albeit weak) that has formed, this wasn't the article to try it with. (Me, I deal with schools on a case-by-case basis.) --Jacquelyn Marie 03:53, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
I wasn't trying to change any sort of precedent. At the time of nomination the article solely said "Kings College, Taunton is a private boarding school of 400-450 pupils." As such, it made no claims of notability at all. I wouldn't have nominated the article in its current form. KeithD (talk) 08:50, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
