[edit] The Catherine Cook School

The Catherine Cook School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Delete no indication that this is a secondary school or is otherwise notable. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 16:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per the website, it's a K-8 school and ghits don't establish notability. Independent private school and one sentence so nothing to merge anywhere. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 18:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete: A one-sentence stub of a private elementary/middle school without any assertion of notability or sources to indicate the same seems to be a slam dunk.  RGTraynor  20:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Agree wholeheartedly. Delete as above per WP:N issues there raised. Eusebeus (talk) 01:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep because I added two references. This is a private school, so there is no school district to merge the article into, although merging it into the education section of Chicago is a possibility. --Eastmain (talk) 01:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • neither of which establish notability per WP:ORG. No one is doubting the school's existence and there's nothing to merge into the Chicago article _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 02:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable. — Wenli ^{(reply here)} 02:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep as it has a couple of WP:RS references and looks a valid stub.--Sting au Buzz Me... 04:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep as per Sting Au, or a compromise would be to merge to Chicago#Private_schools, which is a pretty stubby section at the moment. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge to its school district or similar parent article. Not notable in and of itself. Stifle (talk) 18:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - I added a further, although not particularly significant Chicago Sun-Times source. I think the sources that have been added to the article are "significant" enough to meet the notability standard - they certainly meet "reliable" and "independent". There is a possibility of merging to Chicago#Private schools, but that is an editing decision, and does not need to be dwelled upon in a deletion debate. Regards, EJF (talk) 20:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - notability has now been established. The use of tablet computers with handwriting-recognition capability rather than conventional school supplies is highly unusual and possibly unique. I have studied many schools and their articles and this is the first instance of this that I have come across. TerriersFan (talk) 23:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per Eastmain and EJF's sources. And as TF stated, this school is unique and notable for its use of tablet PC's. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 19:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep - Article would certainley benifit from more content, but the sources given seem to allow the article pass WP:N to me. Camaron | Chris (talk) 17:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
