[edit] Nowra Christian School

Nowra Christian School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable school. No assertion of notability has been made, nor have any sources been provided that could support any claim of notability. Note: The school is already included in the article on Nowra, New South Wales Mattinbgn\^talk 19:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Please keep I am the author of the article and member of school community. Trying to walk a line between providing helpful information while being factual and not turning it into an advertisement. (Help welcomed here!) Also learning how to edit wikipedia articles from scratch. I think the school is notable as a K-12 school using unique approach to HSC. Have also added more info about what makes school notible on philosophical basis. -- Ggannell\^talk

• Delete - not notable. The article doesn't even claim that it is notable - it's a shame that school articles can't be speedy deleted. --Nick Dowling (talk) 10:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep It's a K-12 school, so there will probably be information. It is simpler & better to keep & improve these articles than argue about them. DGG (talk)

• Comment If this "consensus" that schools are inherently notable came as a result of AfD discussions, then the only way to show that there is in fact no consensus is to continue to bring articles on schools that do not meet WP:N to AfD. It is a circular argument to insist that all schools are notable and should be kept for that reason and then use the fact that they are kept to support the concept of the inherent notability of schools. I still have not seen a decent argument for the proposition that schools are inherently notable and the meme of inherent notability has no backing other than the opinion of a group of editors. If sources can be found, then someone should demonstrate that fact by finding them. WP:V still applies to schools and we should insist on reliable independent sources for articles. If they are not provided, then the articles should be removed. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 23:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge to Nowra, New South Wales. Current discussions about WP:SCHOOLS is not clear if all secondary schools are notable or if schools are notable only if they meet WP:RS. Also some editors are not expecting the under discussion proposal to actually be used to support keeping schools. This article may also fail WP:COI per above comments.

• Redirect to Nowra, New South Wales#Education. That way the content is preserved should WP:RS be found. Sting au Buzz Me... 02:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
