[edit] St. Andrew's School Brunei

NPOV - contains accusations JoJan 3 July 2005 07:57 (UTC)

  • Delete Notability not established. Possibly an attack page. Sonic Mew July 3, 2005 08:04 (UTC)
  • Keep, see wikipedia:Schools/Arguments. This article improves coverage of education in Bandar Seri Begawan. Kappa 3 July 2005 10:18 (UTC)
  • Keep: Note that, since the VfD was placed, the article has been greatly expanded and the accusations removed. --Alex12 3 3 July 2005 10:35 (UTC)
  • Move to St. Andrew's School, Brunei. Hedley 3 July 2005 12:50 (UTC)
  • Keep and yes move if necessary. The accusations seem to have been removed (which should have been done in the first place rather than VfD). --Tony Sidaway|Talk 3 July 2005 14:26 (UTC)
  • Delete: The article does not establish any notability of this school, any particular character, any given aims, any measures of success, or anything, really, except that it is a box of paying students. Those things should be added, really, rather than accusing people of bad faith when they make VfD nominations. Geogre 3 July 2005 18:05 (UTC)
    • Well the school aims are rather interesting, at least from a western POV. Not sure if they should be quoted in full or "cherry-picked". Kappa 3 July 2005 23:34 (UTC)
  • Keep (with move to a correct title). Christopher Parham (talk) 2005 July 3 18:29 (UTC)
  • Keep, but move as per Hedley. UkPaolo 3 July 2005 19:51 (UTC)
  • Keep; I see no reason to rm it, nor is the POV apparently there anymore. --Maru 3 July 2005 21:55 (UTC)
  • Keep; POV definitely gone, but move as Hedley suggests. Jaxl 3 July 2005 23:36 (UTC)
  • Delete notability not established as per George. JamesBurns 4 July 2005 00:51 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nothing interesting appears to have happened at this school, plus the article's current content is uneducational, unless for some unknown reason you want to know about a small co-ed school in Brunei. Zzzz, I don't care how many students this school has, I don't care what their goals are, and I don't care if it allows foreign students. Then again, me not caring is not a criterion for deletion, but how could this article possibly be helpful? 24 @ 4 July 2005 02:46 (UTC)
    • Well I found it I found it educational to look at their aims and facilities, but I guess not everyone is interested in how people in different parts of the world live. Kappa 4 July 2005 09:12 (UTC)

  • Delete, grapefruit. Oh wait, NN, that is. Radiant_>|< July 4, 2005 09:11 (UTC)
  • Keep as per user Kappa: see wikipedia:Schools/Arguments. This article improves coverage of education in Bandar Seri Begawan --ShaunMacPherson 4 July 2005 09:37 (UTC)
  • Keep — RJH 4 July 2005 19:41 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. I am in general opposed to articles about primary schools (although that seems to be a lost cause), but at least there's something a little different and interesting here, at least from my American viewpoint. RoySmith 4 July 2005 23:43 (UTC)
  • Keep A good start. CalJW 5 July 2005 00:44 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable. Nothing makes it unique in a whole sea of schools. --Idont Havaname 5 July 2005 00:46 (UTC)
    • Not even the fact that the world's richest man sent his son there? Kappa 5 July 2005 10:59 (UTC)
      • That's just a barely interesting piece of trivia, not a sign of notability. Gamaliel 5 July 2005 13:33 (UTC)
        • I don't think royalty and superrich people choose random average schools for their children. Kappa 5 July 2005 17:20 (UTC)
