[edit] Dromana Primary School

Non-notable school, no evidence of satisfying WP:SCHOOLS. Valrith 03:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete - With almost no information in the article, it does not seem to satify WP:SCHOOLS Leuko 04:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete contentless article about a non-notable group. Again. Not even a link to the school's website. Opabinia regalis 04:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for no content. Does not contain any assertion of notability per WP:SCHOOLS. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 04:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete primary schools are not inherently notable. — NMChico24 04:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• </3 Delete, seems to have been written by a student who likes his school. Which is good. But not for Wikipedia. — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 09:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Stop wasting time. The number of school articles blossomed regardless, so all you are achieving is to hobble wikipedia and enage in conflict for the sake of it. Piccadilly 10:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Assume good faith. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 22:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Dlyons493 Talk 11:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Dromana is hardly notable let alone its primary school. Piccadilly precendent is not binding and since since schools consistently rarely show notability beyond being schools they will continue to come up in AFD. Viridae^Talk 12:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete NN. StuffOfInterest 14:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, NN. No assertion of notability made, and no information here beyond what would be found in a directory listing. —C.Fred (talk) 15:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Dromana, Victoria. WP:SCHOOLS is still under discussion and so using it as a deletion criteria is absurd. — RJH (talk) 17:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep crap article, but can be expanded. Dev920 17:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no assertion of notability, and I'm willing to bet none will ever be found. (|-- UlTiMuS ^{( U • T • C | M • E )} 20:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• 'Merge (for now) to Dromana, Victoria per RJH. Jacqui^★ 21:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Dromana, Victoria. Hasn't received any mentions in the media so difficult to expand. Capitalistroadster 21:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 21:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as a directory entry and since this is a primary school I don't see this grow beyond this while at the same time citing reputable sources. -- Koffieyahoo 01:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep there is no reason this article cannot be expanded. Silensor 07:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above statement and per Piccadilly's statement above. GBYork 12:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This is a directory entry violating the WP:NOT policy against directory entries. GRBerry 14:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment the fact that people say it can be expanded, but don't actually expand it, suggests to me that that there are no verifiable sources. If and when some are found, the article can be recreated. Dlyons493 Talk 15:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • No, it just suggests that it isn't their obligation to do so. Millions of needed edits are not made for all sorts of reasons, including the amount of time that is wasted due to school deletionism. Calsicol 17:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. --Roisterer 16:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• keep please this is important to the community Yuckfoo 17:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn school. Carlossuarez46 06:29, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and improve. Calsicol 17:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notability isnt policy... verifiability is.  ALKIVAR™ 06:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep since the school was founded in 1861, we should be able to provide coverage. Failing that, merge into Dromana, Victoria. Yamaguchi先生 08:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom James68 15:28, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for organic growth. 150 year old schools are of course notable. Bahn Mi 00:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets content policies. See Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep for a series of responses to notability concerns. Christopher Parham (talk) 02:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (or merge with Dromana, Victoria), should be sufficiently verifiable. For those who cited WP:SCHOOLS, they should note that (1) this school does meet the criteria since it's over 50 years old, (2) this is currently just a proposal, not a guideline or a criteria and (3) it doesn't mention any criteria under which articles should be deleted unless they don't meet Wikipedia's content policies, and no evidence has been presented that this school doesn't. JYolkowski // talk 21:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- verifiable stub. Allow for growth. - Longhair 11:46, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory. Nandesuka 16:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable school. This is one of my semi-local schools, so I'm willing to help edit it. I just noticed that the principal information is incorrect. Ray Robertson is the current acting principal, Ray Hocking left last year. Going now to correct. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 18:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable and established school. Also old enough to have plenty of potential for expansion so merge is not appropriate. Kappa 19:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
