St Philip Neri Catholic School
School not notable ENeville 16:19, 22 September 2006 (UTC) 1. The school has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the school itself.
 * Keep verifiable and established school, per Schools/Arguments Kappa 16:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Northbridge, New South Wales per proposed WP:SCHOOLS guidelines. &mdash; RJH (talk) 17:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Kappa Jcuk 18:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, I'm getting fed up with deletionist nonsense like this trying to delete OBVIOUSLY notable schools such as this one. Like Kappa says, Schools/Arguments is basically irrefutable, and since no consensus means more school articles get kept, deletion nominations are basically a waste of everyone's time. --ForbiddenWord 18:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No offense, but "irrefutable"? IRREFUTABLE? Are you kidding? Doesn't Schools/Arguments work to refute it, just as the keep arguments work to refute the delete arguments? -- Kicking222 22:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, they do not, because the deletionists don't have any ground to stand on. --ForbiddenWord 17:47, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting. One rarely sees such a blatant argument by assertion. JoshuaZ 20:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No offense, but "OBVIOUSLY notable"? Old does not imply historically significant. Ohconfucius 12:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete schoolcruft like this are simply not notable and never will be. &mdash; Dunc|&#9786; 21:19, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Dunc. --Aaron 21:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete and INCREDIBLY STRONG DELETE of St_Philip_Neri_Classes_of_2006. The former is non-notable, and the latter is a joke. -- Kicking222 22:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per reasons explained at User:Silensor/Schools, the subject is verifiable and established. Silensor 07:59, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. What is going on here?  How can this unsourced, useless article meet the criteria of WP:SCHOOLS?:
 * No mention of this. No published works cited or mentioned.

2. The school has been or was in existence for over 50 years, due to the great likelihood of—but greater difficulty of uncovering—non-trivial historical coverage of that school.
 * This is the one criteria it does meet. But please, there are actually millions of non-notable schools who just happen to be old.  There is no assertion of notability regarding the age or history of the school.

3. The school participates in the highest grade of the state, province or regional competitions in at least three extracurricular activities. These can include, for example, sports teams, band competitions, cheerleading competitions, engineering contests, and so forth. In addition, the school has won at least two regional championships or one national championship in any of these activities.
 * No mention of this.

4. The school has a substantial and unique program, structure, or technique that differentiates it from similar schools.
 * No mention of this either

5. Significant awards or commendations have been bestowed upon the school or its staff.
 * No mention of this

6. The school has notable alumni or staff (e.g. would qualify for an article under WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC).
 * No mention of this

7. The school building or campus has notable architectural features that set it apart from others.
 * No Mention of this either

 * For a user who registered just one week ago (and has just one single edit to article space) you raise some interesting questions. Who is "Striver" by the way, do you know?  Silensor 08:50, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Has no non-trivial coverage so wouldn't even fit the inclusionist WP:SCHOOLS suggested guideline. Is completely non-notable. JoshuaZ 22:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep and allow for organic growth, meets proposed guidelines. Bahn Mi 22:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Organic growth is just a buzzword with no meaning. Note that the proposed guideline does not have a consensus behind it. JoshuaZ 02:16, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If "organic growth" is just a buzzword... then so is "non notable" since policy is VERIFIABILITY NOT NOTABILITY. oh and in case your wondering... this is a KEEP.  ALKIVAR &trade;[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 14:52, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Alkivar, mind the caps please, they aren't very civil and no, notability is not a "buzzword" we have nice things like essays and proposed criteria and discussions of notability. If someone wants to write an essay attempting to define what they mean by organic growth and why this is a good thing it might become a non-buzzword but right now it is simply an undefined collection of words (I'm particularly puzzled about what in the growth would be "organic" - this is a good sign of something being a buzzword when it has nice-sounding irrelevant phrases attached).
