List of schools in Venezuela

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This list is so vastly incomplete and weighted toward one or two states that it serves no encyclopedic purpose. Its eswiki equivalent, es:Anexo:Colegios en Venezuela, has just one mainspace link.

Note that the term "colegio" in Spanish has the specific meaning, often, of a private school—if this were to be a desirable list to keep, it should be "List of private schools in Venezuela". However, even that scope is unbearably large for a list. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:29, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: Lists for Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana and Paraguay exist too, although in some cases they only include in the list entries that already have their own article. WP:SCH might also be important to consider here, although I'm just noticiing that the essay is now a failed proposal. --NoonIcarus (talk) 13:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep There are alternatives to improve the article before deletion, such as excluding non-notable schools, while keeping those that have an article. As shown above, the are other lists that have a similar format, and this one can follow it while complying with WP:NOT. --NoonIcarus (talk) 17:51, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm not sure we can exclude it simply because it's a long list; we have Lists_of_schools_in_England which is a list-of-lists covering, as the label on tin suggests, every school in England, no matter how tiny and non-notable (I'm not entirely sure this is right or useful). If there is no hope of the Venezuelan list ever being properly complete, in the sense of the English list, then I would suggest pruning it down to Venezuelan schools that have their own articles, and renaming it "List of notable schools in Venezuela".

 * Delete: List of mainly non-notable schools (See: NSCHOOL). Fails Stand-alone lists (If the company or organization does not have an existing article in Wikipedia, a citation to an independent, reliable source should be provided to establish its membership in the list's group. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Otr500 (talk • contribs)
