Talk:Centralskolan, Staffanstorp

Notability
A typical municipal school in a small community - hardly notable. Wouldn't merit an article on svwiki, and doesn't have one. Tomas e (talk) 16:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

No reason to wait. Just delete it! ;-) Now, I've made it an orphan too. /Beckmans (talk) 15:57, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure your account should be blocked from editing Wikipedia, as it is a shared account. JBsupreme (talk) 18:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Prod
A Google search for "Centralskolan, Staffanstorp" (including the quotation marks) yields over 4,000 hits. Clearly notable within its Swedish context as secondary schools invariably are. Prod removed. -Arb. (talk) 21:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a primary school (högstadium = up to 9th grade), not a secondary school. It is funny that you say that this type of school is "invariably" notable, because "standard" communal primary schools in Sweden are considered non-notable in Swedish Wikipedia, and are deleted/merged&redirected on sight. For this school, this happened February 17, 2007, and the policy there is so clear that there has been no attempts to reinstate the article since then. After this explanation, should I reinstate the PROD or do we actually need to take it to AfD? Tomas e (talk) 22:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The article says "senior level of compulsory school" which sounds more like secondary than primary. And you are mistaken about "högstadium"; the article actually says "högstadieskola" which |en|h%C3%B6gstadieskola Google translates as "secondary school". If you skim the sources that the above mentioned Google search provides you will find one from a local newspaper about three teenage girls having a fight and being arrested... If it were unambiguously a primary we would not be having this discussion. -Arb. (talk) 11:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Dear Arb, couldn't you at least check out the Babel information I have put on my my user page before you recommend me to use Google translate to understand my native language? Tomas e (talk) 19:30, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Someone with English as their native language tries to teach a Swede about the Swedish school system...? Google translations are not perfect. Norstedts ord (professional translation service) gives a better translation. "Högstadium" and "högstadieskola" are synonyms. This school is for children aged 13-16, which is part of the sv:grundskola (with interwiki links to primary education). Secondary education in Sweden is called sv:Gymnasieskola (Norstedts ord). /Grillo (talk) 18:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The primary education handles children 6/7-15/16 years old. Secondary education starts at 16 and lasts for two to four years depending on education. The primary education is compulsary while the secondary isn't. Many schools in Sweden are called "0-9 schools", which means that grades 0 (pre-school) to 9 is handled by the same school. Grade 9 is the highest grade in the primary education. /Grillo (talk) 18:26, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * After ending 9, you still have at least 3 years at a gymnasium before you are qualified to study at the university. -- Lavallen (talk) 18:32, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * As for the google hits, most of the hits are spam from travel firms that automatically find places located on maps. Some of the hits go to newspaper articles about fights among pupils and finally some go to sites that advertise job vacancies. I have just looked through the two first pages, but they mostly give a good view of what the hits are about. /Grillo (talk) 18:39, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
