Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Serwaa Kesse Girls' Senior High School (SEKESS)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Most of the arguments to keep are essentially, "We always keeps schools", which, as several people pointed out, is contrary to policy and in conflict with WP:SCHOOLRFC.

And, please, folks, don't rename articles while an AfD is in progress. It just adds confusion to the closing process. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Serwaa Kesse Girls' Senior High School (SEKESS)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:ORG. Of the four sources, 2 cover a brief event when the school won a debate competition, one source is a phishing site, and the other is self published. A google search turned up less than 2,500 results, and nothing usable. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 05:09, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Schools are usually notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:09, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. There isn't anything to write an article out of unless we want to talk about the time 1.4 billion [local money unit] were embezzled by 4 administrators at the school. I may not be running google right because I only found 56 results, but they were all either primary (e.g. the school's facebook page), or about the aforementioned admins stealing 1.4 billion moneys.

 * Keep. the article has been improved Celestinesucess (talk) 20:05, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I rather think it hasn't; regardless the deletion process isn't about improvement, its about notability, which this school does not seem to have. Captain Eek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:05, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. It being a verified degree-granting high school should suffice IMO, and also there is coverage, including about the embezzlement which perhaps should be covered (i don't know if that would be wp:UNDUE or not, but it certainly further verifies existence). There should be a short article at least. --Doncram (talk) 18:19, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Rockphed. The circular argument per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES was rejected from being considered as a valid argument, after a site-wide RfC. &#x222F; WBG converse 16:56, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - despite the aforementioned RfC, we still keep secondary schools that have verified existence...Always have, always will. Per WP:GEOFEAT. John from Idegon (talk) 20:19, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:GEOFEAT does not deal with schools; the rest seems some kind of childish I-like-it argument. &#x222F; WBG converse 15:20, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:GEOFEAT would kill this article even faster since we have zero reliable sources on the building itself. I will gladly change to keep if you can find reliable sources about the building itself, but my searches for such turned up blank. Rockphed (talk) 14:20, 21 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete as per nom. Fails WP:NORG. Don't go for circular reasoning that we just keep such articles. Störm   (talk)  09:45, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails NSCHOOL, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 18:42, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per above delete arguments, without significant coverage, this fails WP:GNG. The WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES argument is invalid if the sources are not there. Rollidan (talk) 20:53, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per Nom. Schools are "not" usually notable per WP:NSCHOOL. Schools have to be shown by reliable independent sources to be notable so are not intrinsically or inherently notable just because they exist. As noted above, if there is evidence that supports WP:GEOFEAT I am willing to reconsider. The school is mentioned at Duayaw Nkwanta. Creating articles is fantastic but should not become more important than expanding existing stub-class articles. Otr500 (talk) 09:58, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
