Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   keep. No valid reason for deleting this article has been provided and even one of the delete !voters concedes that the subject is notable. AJHingston's argument that the article should be deleted because it would be a burden on school management to improve and monitor it is wrong. Actually, people connected with the school are discouraged from editing the article. The argument that we don't have confirmation that it's a secondary school is also incorrect as it has been pointed out that gymnasiums are secondary schools by definition.

 * I'm the librarian of the Christelijk Gymnasium Utrecht and on behalf of the schoolleaders I will ask you to delete this page. We don't know who made it (probebly one of our pupils) but we think it's to brief and dated information. We also don't see the importance of a page from our school in an English Wikipedia. If it is necessary to have contact about this proposel you can contact me at my schoolmailadres j.lueks@undefinedcgu.nl. ~Sorry, forgot the tilders. Jlueks (talk) 11:38, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as requested. There is no doubt that the school would qualify under for an entry under notability guidelines, but in the absence of any pressing and independent case for inclusion it is simply an unwanted burden for the school management to improve and monitor it. --AJHingston (talk) 18:31, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep- Three things. 1.  It easily passes WP:NOTABILITY and its WP:GNG with very significant coverage, some national.  2. Just because someone representing the topic (in this case, a librarian and not even an administrator) requests deletion of an article doesn't mean we need to abide by their request.  3.  The requester's reasoning "We also don't see the importance of a page from our school in an English Wikipedia" is strange to say the least.  If something is notable to speakers of one language, there is nothing discriminating about it to speakers of another.  The article could use improvement though. --Oakshade (talk) 22:17, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The trouble is that in practice only the staff of the school will be able to improve the article and maintain it. They evidently do not want to, and it is too easy to dismiss the fact that this is seen as an unwelcome chore. Since we cannot do it for them, is it reasonable to insist they do? --AJHingston (talk) 23:20, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think that "only the staff of the school" are able to improve an article of a certain school. I've improved many articles of topics that I have nothing to do with including schools.   I'm sure most regular wikipedia editors can attest the same. --Oakshade (talk) 00:56, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - it's a high school, thus meeting WP:HS/N. The article needs improvement, but that is not a reason to delete. Mjroots (talk) 17:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The article does not say it's a secondary school, and in a brief Google search I could not find out what grades it serves. It exists, but in the absence of confirmation that it is a secondary school, it does not meet WP:HS/N. --MelanieN (talk) 14:02, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. A gymnasium is a high/secondary school, so the confirmation in in the subject's name. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:28, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
