  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Garrie 23:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per discussion referened above.Garrie 23:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete This may be salvagable by an editor with better access to sources but in its current state it doesn't state much more than the school's existence. Is it worth redirecting to the List of schools in Tasmania article? I would support allowing re-creation when better sources establishing notability are found. --Mattinbgn/ talk 00:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Neutral pending expansion in the next few days.--Mattinbgn/ talk 04:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Unwritten Wikipedia policy seems to be that articles about high schools are noteworthy and should be kept. This high school is no different from the hundreds of others in Wikipedia; the difference is that this one has only minimal information. I suggest the Wikipedia community help expand the information in this article to include more significant and noteworthy information. Truthanado 00:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment This is a central school (Kindergarten - Yr 10), not a "real" high school. I suggest there is one class each for K-6, most of them are probably combined classes - otherwise it would have split into two schools by now.Garrie 06:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep As Truthanado said, high schools are generally notable, primary schools generally aren't. I'll update this in the next couple of days. -- Chuq (talk) 03:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
  • deleteEven by those standards, this one provides no information and no sources, and should be among the candidates for the few which aren't notable. . I'm somewhat of an inclusionist, and will tolerate an apparently informative article that can be sourced, or a well sourced article about something unimportant. But an unsourced article saying only the trivial is beyond my limits on any subject.DGG
  • Delete Note that a DHS is not a high school, it is effectively a country primary school which extends to Year 10. We were thinking of writing one for a DHS in WA but elected not to as we couldn't find any independent sources for anything other than its existence. Should merit a few lines under Ouse, Tasmania.

  • Merge and redirect to Tasmania Ouse, Tasmania per WP:LOCAL. If significant changes are made to this article, such that it is expanded with multiple reliable sources I may change my position. Burntsauce 17:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Could you please explain how you would merge content for a single central school into an article about a state of Australia? Merge to Ouse, Tasmania I could understand. But how does one merge an unreferenced stub about a school into an article regarding a state?Garrie 23:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
