Leas House School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable preparatory school (UK sense, ie to age 13) with one court case. Does not seem notable enough for an article. Pam D  11:33, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

+comment. Considering the court case was about corporal punishment, I would like this artto stay for awhile until it can be figured out what the implications were for corporal punishment in the U.K. There is the potential that the case had some influence. Considering the article and stub is new, I would like the article to stay for awhile to give editors an opportunity to improve it. If it turns out this is all there is, it can always be deleted but at least we have an opportunity to improve it. Postcard Cathy (talk) 20:06, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet the General Notability Guidelines. Before someone comes along and says that "schools are always notable" let me pre-emptively say that you'll need to provide verifiable references to prove that this particular establishment meets the requirements.

 * The reliable sources aren't out there, beyond this single newspaper article. What possible purpose can be served by retaining this? Have you found any additional reliable sources to support your suggestion? Exemplo347 (talk) 21:01, 23 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete A head master was sued unsuccessfully 71 years ago. I don't think we want to consider preparatory schools notable simply because one of their administrators has been unsuccessfully sued. In any case this subject lacks the coverage needed for notability. Corporal punishment was not banned until 1987 ([]) in the U.K. That's 43 years later which makes it very unlikely this incident is a significant factor in it's history.
