William Farr School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article fails to establish either WP:GNG or WP:ORG, which are the criteria listed at WP:NSCHOOL. Has only two secondary citations and they are both focused on individuals linked to the school rather than the school itself. Meticulo (talk) 09:03, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Withdrawn by nominator, as sufficient reliable sources have been added since I made the nomination. Meticulo (talk) 10:12, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete From what I can tell the only usable source for this is the Guardian article. Unless you count the one from Lincolnshire Life, but it looks like a blog post and doesn't discuss the school in an in-depth, direct way anyway. Outside of those two there's just some brief name drops in things about other stuff. Including a book about a sandy abandoned shoe. Which I can't really say makes the school notable. Unless someone want's the article to be made out of COVID-19, prom dresses, and dirty shoe stories. Personally, I don't. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:25, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Already has plenty of good sources, detail and history. It's an easy pass of WP:GNG. Andrew🐉(talk) 18:12, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes WP:GNG, and secondary schools are generally kept at AfD. NemesisAT (talk) 18:38, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Already has plenty of good sources, detail and history. It's an easy pass of WP:GNG. As a comment many UK schools do a namechange as they transition into academies. Here the CofE comp was already an outstanding school so exempt from section 5 inspection. The 2009 inspection reference to is a 10 page long detailed secondary source. Exceeds our GNG. All state funded UK school will have something similar.ClemRutter (talk) 07:55, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Secondary maybe, but independent? Not really. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:15, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Absolutely rock solid independent. To find out more look into our article on Ofsted and inspection. Particularly read the sources, there are links to the inspection hand books. The nomination has now been withdrawn but I would like to continue the conversation on my talk page, as your views are interesting, and reset slightly could be useful on Help Pages.

 * Keep. Plenty of sources to meet WP:GNG, as with any other secondary school in the western world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:02, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think this is eligible for closure just yet. Adamant1 voted delete, so I think you just have to wait until the 17th. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:39, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
