The result was   delete. All relevant information is already included in the parent article, consensus appears to be that this article is an unnecessary split and is not likely to be useful as a redirect. ~ mazca  talk 16:11, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Article about Headmasters at school, not really notable Mjs1991 (talk) 09:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Is this really needed? Not sure having an article about headmasters from a school is notable--Mjs1991 (talk) 09:20, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I reckon it should be added onto the Doon School's page, not in a seperate article.Mjs1991 (talk) 21:51, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as a spin-out from The Doon School, which is clearly notable as a very important school in India with a lengthy article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:44, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The list is obviously a dependent subtopic of The Doon School, so the questions here are a) whether it is encyclopedic to list this school's headmasters and, if so, b) whether the list should remain in the main article or made into a WP:SPINOUT because of WP:ARTICLESIZE. All of the headmasters have their own articles, which suggests some significance in listing them, because the names are not informational dead-ends as they would be if they were non-notable. On the second question, the list is short and is already included in the school article, and accompanied by a substantive block of text that arguably more than makes up for the minimal annotations in this list. So I'm leaning towards redirect or delete. postdlf (talk) 19:40, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Note to closer: as I don't think the list should be removed from the school article, feel free to interpret my !vote as redirect or merge; I said "delete" above just because I don't think there's anything from the list left to merge. postdlf (talk) 18:57, 17 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge. This list essentially duplicates the information that is already provided in the article on the Doon School. The article already has a narrative section on the headmasters and a box with a list of all the names. If there is any content that is not included in the main school article then it should be added with the appropriate references. A separate page with a list of headmasters is not normally appropriate for a school that has only been in existence for about 70 years. Dahliarose (talk) 12:00, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect - The content is the same as The_Doon_School, and so this should point there. Not enough for a standalone article.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  13:28, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Looking at this again, I see that any useful content is already in the article. Apathetic on a redirect, so moving to a straight delete.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  21:53, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete same as The_Doon_School. Not needed as redirect. --Stfg (talk) 10:48, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect - agree with Nolelover above, this should be incorporated into the main article as it is not worthy of its own page. London456 (talk) 17:09, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect -- Merlaysamuel : Speechify  15:39, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant to The_Doon_School. No need for redirect as it is an unlikely search item. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:26, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per P199's argument directly above. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 20:45, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
