 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:32, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Unencyclopaedic list which seems to be an indiscriminate collection of information. Categorisation may be more useful.  &mdash;Moondyne 14:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per WP:NOT, and WP:LISTCRUFT. -- Thε Rαnδom Eδιτor  ( tαlk ) 20:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is not an indiscriminate list. The criteria for addition to the list are clear and stated clearly in the article title.  The list could do with additional context about the schools and their purpose but needing work is not a reason for deletion. -- Mattinbgn\talk 23:01, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. At the moment, it is a bit like a directory but could be a reasonable article if context were added. Capitalistroadster 03:36, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - perfectly useful list. The red links makes it unsuitable as a category. TerriersFan 01:37, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 *  Merge  with article on Anangu Schools which seems to duplicate some of this list. I am unclear as to the distinction between Anangu and Aboriginal schools but these are clearly topics of encyclopaedic interest which deserve proper articles. I would have thought that there should in fact be a separate article on Aboriginal schools as well. None of the schools in this list have Wikipedia articles at present so categorisation is inappropriate at this stage. Dahliarose 11:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Do not merge As stated in the Anangu schools article they are schools in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara area, could be merged to that article but then would not be categorised under schools. they are a subset of this article. Paul foord 04:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. In view of the above discussion I think that the list should be kept. Deletion is premature. It might well be justified at a later date if/when articles are created on some of these Aboriginal and Anangu schools. Dahliarose 16:57, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep User:Twenty Years states the article is covered by List of schools in South Australia, none of these schools are included there - so need to be added there. Note, regarding Category:Indigenous Australian education, a list is a useful way of referencing schools for Indigenous Australians, there is currently no article on Education and Indigenous Australians.

 * Keep for essentially the same reasons I give at length at Articles for deletion/List of high schools in Victoria -- and anyone who contributed to this deletion discussion should contribute to that one, since it only has five editors commenting and appears to have been overlooked amid this set of discussions.

 * PLEASE SEE: Articles for deletion/List of high schools in Victoria For some reason, the Victoria list hasn't received the same attention from editors that all the other Australian school lists have in these deletion discussions. Please take a look. Noroton 18:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, *sigh* Leave it be and let it improve. Not only are the school names all unlinked, but the many of the communities are also redlinks, and there are only 14 articles in Category:Indigenous Australian education. John Vandenberg 13:39, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Its not about whats not there. What is your reason to keep it? Twenty Years 19:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
