List of school education areas in New South Wales

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This list is very outdated, and also basically non-notable. Nobody in Australia cares much about regional subdivisions of the state education department, they have little importance. I get the feeling part of the motivation for this article is "America has school districts, other countries must have them too, let's find out what they are called in other countries and make a list of them". But other countries don't necessarily have "school districts" in the American sense. In many parts of the US, "school districts" are a special-purpose form of local government with elections and taxing powers, which makes them notable. In Australia, public schools are run by the state government and supported by state and federal taxes, and the ever-changing internal administrative structures of the state government's education department are non-notable bureaucratic trivia. That's all this article is, non-notable and outdated bureaucratic trivia, and that's why I think it should be deleted. Mr248 (talk) 20:53, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - does not appear to comply with WP:LISTN. Any useful information that could be found (of which there is nothing currently in the article) can easily go in Department of Education (New South Wales). I note we already have List of government schools in New South Wales which is a much better way of sorting government schools in New South Wales (and is more compliant with WP:LISTN).

 * Delete I'm not an expert on education areas in New South Wales, but going by the points made here, the article, the guidelines, and my own research this article seems to go against WP:LISTN. Plus, I could be wrong but I think some of the schools could be better covered or are already better covered in the various lists included in Lists of schools in New South Wales anyway. The only difference is that the list items in this one say have "education area" in them. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:57, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Doesn't meet LISTN or CLN.  // Timothy :: talk  14:52, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
