[edit] Tower Hamlets College
Non-notable further education college. Contested prod. JulesH 10:49, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. All post-secondary institutions are notable. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 15:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. First, I missed this policy decision. Can somebody point me to where it was discusssed? Particularly with reference to the British education system where secondary schooling ends at 16, rather than 18 like most countries, with the result that there are over 200 such colleges in the UK. Most of these would have nothing interesting to say about them. So why have articles on them? JulesH 21:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Notability of all post-secondary institutions was in a previous draft proposal of WP:SCHOOLS or WP:SCHOOLS3, it has been removed in the last few weeks. In general, each further education college will either have a local monopoly over the A-level curriculum, or will be one of very few institutions offering the qualifications. I suggest this may satisfy the local aspect of criterion 2 of WP:SCHOOLS. For a large city like London, this is less obviously so than in more rural areas, so I defer to editors with local knowledge and decline to vote. Eludium-q36 15:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

- I think this article should stay. Tower Hamlets College is actually quite well known and respected in the East End. Sam Blacketer 22:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep: as above. Peterkingiron 17:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
