College of Richard Collyer

 * Delete. Not notable, probably vanity too. Enochlau 22:39, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Change to keep. Enochlau 05:58, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Founded in 1532. Current British celebrity Harry Enfield went there, as the article includes. Named one of the 393 "outstanding schools and colleges" by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools in his Annual Report, and if I'm reading this right it's one of only three so named at high school age level in East or West Sussex, so a leading school in the region. Samaritan 23:32, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable college. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:20, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Extreme keep. An article about a sixth form college from the 1500s is non-notable "vanity"?  You've got to be fucking joking.  *sigh* &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 01:39, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * To be fair, this was the version nominated; I expanded it since then. Samaritan 02:12, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, well-established notable college. Shiri &mdash; Talk 03:45, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, informative article, ty Samaritan for expansion. Kappa 05:53, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Schools are not trivial CalJW 06:34, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep passes the 1532 test. Klonimus 07:25, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Extreme Keep As one of the schools backed by the Mercers' Company, Collyers is a hugely significant part of Horsham's history. I can add a huge amount to the entry in terms of the college's history, both recent and a bit less recent. Rdward85 11:31, 8 May 2005
 * keep please the school is historical Yuckfoo 20:54, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Now a good article thanks to Samaritan. Notable historic school. Capitalistroadster 23:21, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. All schools are enduring physical and social institutions worthy of record in a truly encyclopedic encyclopedia. --Gene_poole 23:42, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Can't imagine what got into whoever listed this. Emphatically encyclopedic, mit Kartofeln. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:19, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Where is a Old Boy when you need one? (I'm not, but am asking for one's efforts to be put to it!) Peter Ellis 02:13, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Intrigue 18:23, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable. Jayjg (talk) 21:14, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
