Advert for a non-notable school. Dunc|☺ 18:47, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Gosh, this is getting crazy. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:18, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable. -- Vsion 21:21, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• It's a copyvio. RickK 21:30, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Rewritten. Please vote on the stub, not the deleted article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:50, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Fine. Delete, non-notable school. RickK 23:53, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: What do you mean, non-notable? Its a Singaporean school. We also need it as a starting point for development, not to mention, its one of the original schools of the Ang Mo Kio town, which was only developed until recently in the late 1970's. I will work on the article if I have time, but the idea that its not distinguished from "thousands of other schools" doesn't apply because this school isn't in the United States. -- Natalinasmpf 03:24, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Are you asserting that, unlike the United States, Singapore only has a very few schools? Education in Singapore begs to differ. Uncle G 05:42, 2005 Jun 5 (UTC)
  • Does this also suggest we should create articles on, say, bus drivers in Liechtenstein since there aren't many of them ? Average Earthman 08:52, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable. —Lowellian (talk) 13:27, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Gosh, this is getting crazy. SchmuckyTheCat 20:13, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable and NPOV. I agree with WP:SCH. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:54, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. All schools are enduring physical and social institutions, and are therefore inherently encyclopedic.--Centauri 04:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Ang Mo Kio and delete - Skysmith 09:50, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Schools belong in Wikipedia. Important, NPOV, and verifiable. Unfocused 05:09, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Another non-notable school. If that fails, merge into relevant article; I nominate trivia, but any will do. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:39, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Compromise. Delete and create new article on Schools in Ang Mo Kio, then include this school and subsequently add other schools in the town. -Hmib 16:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Why not just vote keep and move the school article to Schools in Ang Mo Kio, which will keep the article history, then add other schools? --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • 'Cos we don't need 50 pages, one for each school in Ang Mo Kio. To do so would be like creating an article for every housing development in a town. -Hmib 23:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • My proposal would result in one single page for all schools in Ang Mo Kio but without the unnecessary step of deleting the current text and its history. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:29, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Doesn't seem to be one of the more famous schools (Nanyang, Tao Nan). Frankchn 02:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
