Yeresere school

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable primary school. Created along with several others, which will be joining this AfD shortly.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are also non-notable primary schools:


 * Delete only a very select few primary schools are notable and there is nothing indicating any of these schools are part of that extremely rare exception.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:06, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. I redirected these articles some months back as I thought they were not notable. The creator removed the redirects, then the nominator redirected them again, and the creator once again undid the redirect. The articles are unusual in that we know an unusual amount of detail about their sanitary arrangements because of some field research they were involved in. This means the articles have an unusual number of atypical sources, but I don’t believe they establish notability. Mccapra (talk) 05:09, 2 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Do not delete I totally disagree with this deletion of this article on a village school in Ethiopia. Thanks to sanitation reports we can illustrate the situation of such schools in developing countries. And the articles hold much more information than sanitation only. For schools in, say, England you are not harsh like that. See for instance this list of schools in just one county: List of schools in Surrey; most of those schools have their own page on Wikipedia! And such is the case for almost every district in the UK or US. So, Wikipedia will allow pages for schools of rich countries, but not schools of poor countries? This is not a case of "Run of the mill" and promotional language. That problem is related to, either school directors who would use Wikipedia for advertising their school, or professionals who would try to beef up their CV by making sure their school is on Wikipedia. Neither is the case here. However, if the same rules are applied for schools in developing countries and rich countries, only the elite schools of developing countries would be represented on wikipedia, which would give a wrong image of the state of the educational system. The few articles on schools in Ethiopia illustrate the daily struggle even for simple things like a toilet at school.Jnyssen (talk) 04:56, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - you do realize you point to a list article as an example of why we should keep these primary school articles, wherein not a single primary school on the list has a separate article? Onel 5969  TT me 13:36, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I see but scroll down on that page and lots of grammar and private schools have a page. Roughly, for US and UK, about 40% of the schools have a page on wikipediaJnyssen (talk) 14:16, 5 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete "about 40% of the schools have a page on wikipedia" is false, why are you making up utter nonsense? Okay, I don't know if we have a correct number for that, but I can tell the schools we do have a page on are high schools; we do not have pages on elementary schools. Primary schools are not notable without extraordinary coverage. Reywas92Talk 18:03, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment In the US if 1% of existing sub-high schools have articles I would be shocked. I am not sure we would even be at that percentage if we counted any school that covers below the high school level, clearly not if we limit it to high schools that are not high schools at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:58, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
