List of largest Victorian Schools

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article offers nothing that the List of schools in Victoria doesnt, it is completely unencyclopedic, and appears to be a clear violation of WP:POINT. Twenty Years 09:52, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, just thought I'd add in my 2 cents: I don't think the article is complete crap; a few schools were claiming to be the largest or the third largest with no refrences, so I decided to investigate further. Then decided to include my findings in a table so everyone could see it, and I thought people may find it interesting. People like including that sort of stuff in their school articles, eg. "The 6th largest school" etc... People do find it interesting to see. If you guys think it should be deleted, that's absolutely fine, no hard feelings at all. :) Sorry and thanks :) Jobers (talk) 11:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment The list may or may not be encyclopaedic, but it is a reach to say it is disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. -- Mattinbgn\talk 11:37, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Might be worth looking at the link provided, it suggests that a user was attempting to make a point, dont want to ABF, but it just appears that way. Twenty Years 13:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you guys think it needs to be deleted, that's fine. Also I wasn't making this article to prove a point, as I mentioned above, there were a few schools claiming to be the largest or the 2nd largest, so I thought I'd investigate. I also did one for south Australia. I don't even care which school is the largest, the more annoying thing was the fact that the information was wrong, and one of friends who goes to Haileybury pointed it out to me. Then I thought a list like this may be resourceful while investigating and fixing up the enrolment and establishment info on schools. But now I'm thinking it's not. Anyway, sorry guys.

 * WP:POINT refers to disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. Creating this list, at least to my mind, isn't disruptive. -- Mattinbgn\talk 19:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, the list does add something over List of schools in Victoria, namely enrollment information. It is referenced, although that could be better. Whether or not the list is correct is a content dispute. Maybe the list should be updated or improved, but the topic is encyclopedic, like List of urban areas by population etc. --Cpt.

 * This seems more of a merge vote than anything? Twenty Years 13:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * So? Merging means keeping the original article, merging the content and redirecting. It never involves deleting anything. If you wanna merge, by all means do so if you can think of a proper target article, but that still means we keep this one (although possible redirected). --Cpt.

 * Keep as argument above. Merge/redirect. Thank author for added content too. Afd unrequired. Oh and review title - Eton was a large victorian school just over 100 years ago. Victuallers (talk) 18:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to follow pattern 'List of x in y by z', as List of schools in Victoria by enrollment. Maralia (talk) 03:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename per Maralia. I'd much sooner see List of largest Victorian Schools deleted than this article. CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Could not this enrolment information simply be added to the List of schools in Victoria article? Twenty Years 05:32, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge it into List of schools in Victoria. Lankiveil (talk) 02:25, 24 November 2007 (UTC).
 * Merge and re-direct to List of schools in Victoria - Seems like a non-controversial merge to me. Name "List of schools in Victoria" is preferable as use of the word "Victorian" will confuse people from the UK that read the article; Victorian means a time period in British history.

 * Merge or Keep per the above reasoning. The list is itself notable but a merge of the information as mentioned above is as appropriate as keeping. LordHarris (talk) 22:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
