The Brandwag highschool ( Uitenhage)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I nominated this page for deletion because the school does not show notability and does not show any context either. I tried to A7 this article but it was unsuccessful. Aerospeed (Talk) 18:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by Nominator - Given the points stated below, I will withdraw my nomination and support the renaming of the page to "Hoërskool Brandwag." I was unaware that schools are by default notable. Aerospeed (Talk) 20:29, 10 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Although the article is now an unreferenced, poorly written stub, well-established consensus described at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is that accredited degree-awarding secondary schools are notable unless the article is a hoax. A Google search finds plenty of information about the school, so the article should be expanded and referenced, not deleted. Once this debate has ended, the article should be moved to a better name.

 * Comment from Nom - This article is also an orphan. Aerospeed (Talk) 18:39, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply Orphan status is not a reason for deletion. The school can easily be mentioned and linked in a section about education in the town where it is located. By the way, I've begun improving the article.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  18:49, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. I declined the A7, which by its own language, does not apply to schools. Also, A1 doesn't apply either as the context was clear. If the article is kept after discussion, it should be moved to a more accurate title.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:52, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment The article should be moved to Hoërskool Brandwag. I have expanded the article and added several references.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  22:55, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep and move to Hoërskool Brandwag. Understand where the nominator is coming from but high schools are generally considered notable and the title can be resolved. Stalwart 111  00:40, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Secondary schools are notable by long-standing consensus and precedent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
