Leon Goldstein High School for Sciences
Not enough information to justify an article, non-notable, delete if not expanded Proto 11:43, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, covering high schools is necessary to coverage of education, and this article establishes even greater notability than that of a typical high school. Vfd is not cleanup. Kappa 14:14, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Covering high schools is *not* necessary to coverage of education. If I want to understand education in some country I do not want to read a thousand articles on similar schools but one that shows a global picture of the subject, probably pointing to a few notable good/bad examples.--Nabla 16:56, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
 * But what if you want to know about education in a particular town? Kappa 02:06, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Look at the town's article? Many (most?) of them don't even mention the existence of a school. Why? Maybe because it is not relevant for the towns article as it is just another school. Yet the main point is we have to stop at some level, as the only way to have the whole picture on education (or anything, for that matter), is to have an article on every thing and every one involved. Every building, every teacher, every student, every household, etc.. They are all important, they are all related. I bet you don't want that, so we simply disagree on where to draw the line, which is fine by me.--Nabla 15:29, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
 * Keep per Kappa, though it seems that the main page should be the one without the "The" and not a redirect. DS1953 16:33, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually the school site includes the "The" in the name but other sources do not. So maybe the article has the correct name.  Vegaswikian 07:47, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless some notability is established, being just another school is not enough.--Nabla 16:56, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; more notable than many of the umpteen train station articles, &c. &mdash; RJH 17:58, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep seems prestigious enough (this is the kind of article that should be kept rather than just "X is a comprehensive school in Y. Amazingly it has pupils").  Try to identify some old boys though. Dunc|&#9786; 18:50, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly good article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:38, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Kappa, but retitle per DS1953.  -- Un focused 20:59, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Spoon. Gamaliel 21:24, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. Double Blue  (Talk) 21:30, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looks fairly notable.  As a comment on the "not enough information to justify an article" concern, the wiki way of fixing that problem is to improve the article by adding information.  Which is, of course, exactly what other people have done. Factitious 09:41, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * keep but please fix the double redirects Yuckfoo 18:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, well written and referenced article on a notable school. I think I've seen small articles in print media about this school so I'm sure it can expand.  JYolkowski // talk 20:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
