[edit] Medway Highschool

Medway Highschool (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Notability not asserted, no sources provided. Seinfreak37 15:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per my arguments here. Soltak | Talk 23:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I have to say I despair of these articles: as seems to be traditional for school articles, notability is neither asserted nor demonstrated. I don't see why standards for articles on schools should be lower than for articles on other subjects. WMMartin 10:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• KeepI think their notability is inherent, as per my totally convincing, overwhelmingly persuasive, incisive, etc. etc. etc. arguments conveniently ensconced here, which actually answers WMMartin's objections. Noroton 16:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Delete I only scanned the last part of the article before, but DGG's sharper eye caught what appears to be, at least in part, a hoax. This one isn't worth keeping.Noroton 21:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I'm of the opinion that every school is not inherently notable, just as every person, every company, and every product is not inherently notable. -Seinfreak37 16:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Whichever administrator looks over this should note that Seinfreak37 is both the nominator and the editor voting just above. Seinfreak37, you could just label your comment Comment and make it less confusing for the administrator. In response to your comment just above (as I mention in my linked-to argument), high schools are very different from the other entities you list. Because of what high schools are, nearly every single one of them has a large impact on the lives of students and very often on whole communities. That can be said for hospitals and maybe a few other classes of entities, but not for all persons or companies or products. Noroton 17:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I have no confidence that the dramatic events described in the article are real. My suspicion was aroused by the spelling of the first line "Medway Highschool is a secondary school located in the town of Arva, in the Middle-Sex-Centre."DGG 21:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless sources can be raised in the next few days that show this is not a hoax. Yamaguchi先生 02:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Yamaguchi. --Myles Long 15:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
