Rendalls House and Bradbys House
In many countries, people may be familiar with the concept of "houses" in schools. In countries where the concept is not used, think of the Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter mythos. While a page on Harrow School is essential (being probably the second-best-known public school in England after Eton College), separate articles on the houses is without any doubt TMI, even after considering WINP. No useful information to merge into parent. Chris talk back 00:09, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. --Metropolitan90 01:37, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect someone looks for their house goes back to the school. (Unless of course this is common for a house to be called.  Not familiar with the system"
 * Unsigned comment by anon User:205.188.116.14
 * Redirect to Harrow School as per Chriscf oops anon. Capitalistroadster
 * Not per me, I hope. In any case, search term is not a particularly useful redirect as it's not a likely incoming search term.  Someone looking for their house certainly shouldn't be looking in the encyclopaedia. Chris talk back 02:07, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * merge individual house histories may be rich and notable enough, so I think the content deserves a place on Wikipedia, but not its own page jnothman talk 02:08, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * From the nomination, No useful information to merge into parent. All that's in them is facilities and lists of housemasters - which I would imagine are roughly on a par with heads of year, which we typically do not include. Chris talk back 02:18, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect Delete and redirect to parent article and with a possible mention within. A line or two per house at the most. Saberwyn 02:40, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to parent article. Please note that a bare redirect leaves the article in history and thus is often counted as a "keep" opinion. -  brenneman (t) (c)  02:46, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete and redirect per above. I thought it was worht keeping at first, but the more I read it the more I realised that a single statement "the houses have all the usual boarding school facilities" covers 90% of the content. - Just zis Guy, you know? 13:13, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to main school article, as above. MCB 00:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing particularly notable about public school houses. They all have them. -- Necrothesp 02:08, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
