List of UK Independent Schools
Another meaningless list of schools. Delete. Radiant! 08:54, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. RHaworth 11:13, 2005 Feb 20 (UTC)
 * Keep Do you know what the word "meaningless" means? Wincoote 14:53, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. *yawn*. James F. (talk) 15:54, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - censure nominator - David Gerard 23:56, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Putting censorship on people who disagree with you goes against the very idea of Wikipedia. Radiant! 10:27, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * No, "censure", not "censor". You have made a number of VfD nominations that appear greatly inappropriate. James F. (talk) 10:55, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I have made a far greater number that are very appropriate. If you read VfD history, you'll notice that I get a number of concurring votes on nearly all of my nominations, and that the majority of them gets deleted almost unanimously. You'll also notice that I listen to reasonable arguments and can be convinced to change my opinion. Radiant! 16:15, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * There is no excuse for "collateral damage", to use that vile euphamism for carelessness. James F. (talk) 13:17, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful list. --Andylkl 14:04, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and strongly support comments by David Gerard and James F.. Yet another deletioncruft VFD nomination.--Centauri 20:53, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete would be better as a category. DaveTheRed 23:35, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Should be reformed to include the reason why the founder setup the school. User:Sibaz 03:22, 03 March 2005 (GMT)
 * Keep Useful Vanky 18:26, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm going to say delete actually, not because the information is totally useless, but because Wikipedia is plagued by half-baked lists their authors have no intention of completing. An article that consists solely of a permanently incomplete list is not really encyclopedic in my book. These pages are a relic of the pre-category era. All these schools could be put in a category that would do the same job as this page without having to be a totally exhaustive list - something this page will never be. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 12:57, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
