[edit] Scottish space school
Fails notability. This might be speedy delete. Davnel03 20:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
*Delete The article lacks context to ascertain any possible notability. --Stormbay 21:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The context is now clear and the notability has been established. --Stormbay 00:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Frag - can't see a claim to notability, possible spam as well. David Fuchs (talk) 21:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

- Strong keep - let's be clear; despite its gimmicky title this is not a school and is not spam - it is a government education programme, organised jointly with NASA. Government programmes are generally considered notable. In this case WP:N is easily met by a wealth of media coverage. Another reference is here. I am going to rewrite the article to make its status clear. TerriersFan 21:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

- Comment - OK, I have rewritten the article and included cites from The Scotsman and the Scottish Parliament - sources for Scotland don't come any more reliable than those! TerriersFan 23:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a government sponsored educational program. How is that not notable? Neil ム 22:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep passes WP:RS. How can a government sponsored space education program not be notable? Nenyedi • (Deeds•Talk) 23:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Easily passes Wikipedia:Reliable sources and so appears to be factual. Has some of the appearance of a temporary government gimmick, so unsure if it passes Wikipedia:Notability is_not_temporary. Article is now decently written and well cited, but still has the smell of advertising. That being said, the future is unknown and article is not clearly non notable, so vote for a keep, if a weak one. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 00:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Gimmicky but passes the required policies. Dbromage [Talk] 00:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Are there many other space schools in Scotland? The article seems to make rather explicit claims of notability, supported by reliable and verifiable sources that satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability standard. Alansohn 04:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, uniquely notable as demonstrated above. Yamaguchi先生 04:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Can someone please withdraw nomination, when I nominated it the article was in a much worser state. Good job to the people that have since cleaned it up. Davnel03 08:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
