Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Veyangoda Bandaranaike Central College


 * 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 Speedy delete as unambiguous copyright violation of non-free-content ("© All rights Reserved.2009") work. I'm sorry, Voceditnore, although the intent is appreciated. Keystoneridin, the correct process for this is Copyright problems, not AFD. Everyone: We don't tweak and copyedit copyright violations. We revert to the last non-infringing version, delete wholesale if there is no such version and the violation is foundational, and rewrite from scratch with a fresh edit history that thus isn't a derivative work. We deleted Veyangoda Central college and we delete this copy. Our copyright policy is non-negotiable. Uncle G (talk) 09:03, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I would'nt speedy delete this as a G11, but it's definatley adverty and doesn't provide claims of notability. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 21:18, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep but reduce to a stub to remove the copyvio. Clearly notable enough for an article, as verified secondary schools are generally held to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:14, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and reduce article to a stub per Necrothesp. It should merit a wikipedia article as a secondary school but the copyvio and the advertising information should be deleted. --Artene50 (talk) 23:53, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - high school that educates to grade 13. Needs a thorough-going de-spamming but AfD is not a clean-up squad. This school looks thoroughly notable to me. No reason to think that sources cannot be found to meet WP:ORG. We keep high schools for very good reasons; not only do they influence the lives of thousands of people but they also play a significant part in their communities.

 * Delete - What it lacks in notability, it makes up for in a pretty promotional design. If it's notable, where are the secondary reliable references? In fact, where are any references? -- MST  ☆  R   (Chat Me!) 07:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This establishes that the subject is a high school in Sri Lanka as the wikipedia article claims. Do we need coverage of a high school in a newspaper to prove that it exists--especially one in a foreign country? --Artene50 (talk) 07:36, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. High schools are generally considered inherently notable. Since the copyvio content is gone, the article can live. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:52, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
