Lane Cove Public School

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

This article about a non notable primary school is entirely unreferenced and written as a puff piece (a proud tradition of academic excellence, community participation, sporting achievement and a supportive environment in which to "Play the Game"). The only claim to any notability at all is the (unsupported) claim that Nicole Kidman attended the school. A previous PROD was removed by an uninvolved editor and the content merged and redirected to Lane Cove, New South Wales. This was reverted by the creating editor who continues to add more unsupported and promotional content.

No doubt there will be plenty of comment about the myth of "inherent notability" for schools. If this school is notable, then reliable, independent sources supporting that notability should be able to be found, over and above the usual "The NSW minister for education visited the school on such and such date" Mattinbgn\talk 22:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

*Delete if we can't find a reliable source for the Kidman claim, weak keep if we can. Other than the Kidman thing, it doesn't generally meet WP:SCHOOL - it's a primary school that doesn't have any claims to notability besides, well, being a primary school. Can't find reliable sources beyond directory info.  Graymornings (talk) 23:13, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Yeah, on second thought, the Kidman connection still doesn't make it notable, and as it's not a high school, delete.

 * Comment I have removed the "About The School" section which was lifed word for word from somewhere else (perhaps this site) -- Mattinbgn\talk 22:51, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, this connection is easily sourced - for instance and here. TerriersFan (talk) 00:31, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me remind you that notability is not inherited. 23:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That soundbite was originally created to stop people from creating articles on relatives of famous people. Now it's used to describe pretty much anything related. Notable almni indicate the school has had a lasting effect on the world at large. And bands are also notable if they have a notable member, so the entire career of said notable member can be properly covered. Notability is not inherited is not something absolute. - Mgm|(talk) 10:28, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as primary schools are not notable. Tavix (talk) 23:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Is this a High School? Primary school means different things in different parts of the world. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:18, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment No; primary schools in Australia cater for kids aged 5/6-11/12 Nick-D (talk) 03:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Looks like a K-6 school. No indication of special notability more than other primary schools. School website:. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
