Echuca College

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced article about a non-notable school. No evidence to suggest that the school is in any way notable even if judges at the Rock Eisteddford are moved to tears! Mattinbgn\talk 02:34, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Sources are fairly easily found to establish existence- certainly it needs major cleanup, but not deletion. tedder (talk) 02:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 *  Delete . No-one is questioning its existence.  Fails WP:SCHOOL, even if that is one of the most ignored inclusion criteria in WP.  Nothing special about this school.  –Moondyne 03:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No doubt WP:SCHOOLS is one of the "most ignored inclusion criteria" because it failed to attain consensus! WWGB (talk) 04:34, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Did you actually read Tedder's sources? The second one is an in-depth profile of the state of the school, with a lot of really useful information, and details quite a bit about the school that's unique - one thing that stood out is that it was one of the oldest technical schools in the state, but there was quite a bit more there. And that was just a two-minute search. Rebecca (talk) 03:18, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I must admit I only read the 1st one which was a not-very exciting 1994 photograph directory entry, hence my statement. My bad.  Change to keep.  Fanstastic?  Source s ?  Gimme a break.  –Moondyne 05:04, 14 July 2009 (UTC)  –Moondyne 04:57, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Moondyne. The point is that they weren't too hard to find- it only took me half a minute to find those. tedder (talk) 05:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I do know what the point was and was responding to that. –Moondyne 06:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Tedder has found some fantastic sources that a) back up a clear claim to notability, and b) could make for a really interesting expansion of this article. Rebecca (talk) 03:18, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - a clearly notable secondary school with sources available that meet WP:ORG. TerriersFan (talk) 18:34, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep this is one of the articles that justifies our practice of keeping all articles on secondary schools.DGG (talk) 04:52, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I goto this school and will be able to keep it up to date.Techgeek2007 (talk) 11:37, 19 July 2009 (AEST)
 * Techgeek2007, please read Wikipedia's notes on original research. However, being connected isn't a bad thing- can you help find reliable sources on it? tedder (talk) 01:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Tedder, sorry, I have added a reference to do with the buildings and will try and use references in the future. techgeek2007 (talk) 17:14, 19 July 2009 (AEST)
