Education in Cambuslang

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A small town, such as Cambuslang, does not warrant an entire article specifically on its 5 schools and college. Computerjoe 's talk 17:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - sadly we don't have a clear policy on inclusion of schools (since the unfortunate demise of WP:SCHOOL), but there's not much in this article that couldn't be covered in the articles on the schools themselves. "History" section reads like an essay (violating WP:NOR) and there's really no other useful content. Walton monarchist89 19:43, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Cambuslang. Seems to me like good info, no reason to delete. The more obscure info about particular schools can be discarded or put into individual school articles.   delldot | talk 21:11, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Cambuslang. At first I thought this may have been split off from there, but I couldn't find anything in the  history of the Cambuslang article that supports that - and there's nothing on the discussion page that shows a plan to do so.  Would fill out the "parent" article quite well.  SkierRMH 01:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Please do not delete This was originally a part of the main Cambuslang article which has been split into related articles to bring it within Wiki size limits.It is a part of a fairly large project on aspects of this small but important village, (or at least important to the history of Scotland) which is itself part of the larger project to make Wiki the major point of first reference for most shared knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony164 (talk • contribs)
 * Strong keep. This would not have failed WP:SCHOOL, due to age and architecture; it has pictures of a school built in 1848, and intends to cover others that date back further.  It has problems with WP:OR and WP:RS, but lets give the editors some time now that it has been pointed out. John Vandenberg 14:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. As ever, we need to see notability. Most towns have a history of providing education and educational facilities in their environs. Why is Cambuslang different and worthy of particular attention ? The article doesn't even hint. WMMartin 13:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge. The original research in the history section isn't leaping out at me, but I'd encourage Tony to merge this wholesale with Cambuslang. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. Pastordavid 23:10, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
