Yet again another non-notable school. RickK 23:40, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)

  • But it must be notable! It's founder was a large man! [1] FZ
  • Keep. I'd call it minimally notable, rather than non-notable. Wiki is not paper, so we can afford to keep it around. (The list of headmasters is a bit hkey though). Bacchiad 03:23, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Nothing in the article makes this school stand out from the rest. One article about schools in general... let me check... yes, we have School, is sufficient unless a school is notable enough for its own article. SWAdair | Talk 06:23, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: It's a private school, to American readers. The subject probably qualifies for WP, but this article is insufficient, and it's written in such a way as to minimize notability. Geogre 14:09, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • With further evidence of notability, I abstain to see if someone can take it from tentative to useful. Geogre 01:44, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, with stub notice. It is linked to; the list of headmasters may be superfluous however. Dunc_Harris|☺ 22:22, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • I have done some research. As a note generally I think that most if not all British independent schools are notable because they usually have some history and important old boys and girls. This one it turns out has some interesting social history relating to evacuation during both world wars. Dunc_Harris|☺ 22:55, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Real place. Jgm 23:01, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • My bathroom is a real place. Should I write an article about it? RickK 23:27, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)
      • No. First you must declare it a micronation. - Nunh-huh 23:31, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
      • Well, I imagine both places have had a few expulsionsJgm 02:36, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Public Schools are significant institutions in Britain. Mintguy (T) 00:21, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • I love Nunh-huh's suggestion and Jgm's answer! Make the school a micronation, vote to delete it and watch Gene Poole pop out of the woodwork (or the bathroom) to defend it! Let's make this a featured article while we're at it. Oh, and keep for the time being and see what grows from this. - Lucky 6.9 05:49, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
