Photographs of pupils
What's the policy on including identifiable pictures of current pupils in articles? As here, Head girl and head boy. Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 19:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:IUP, and on the Commons, see . I think it's creepy, but might pass both policies. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * "Publishing a photo of an identifiable person in a private place usually requires consent, and Commons expects this even if relevant laws do not require it." A school is not a public place (try gaining entrance to one whilst students are inside and see what happens). Black Kite (talk) 19:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Belated thanks. On balance, I've taken the image out, and will discuss on the article's Talk page if it is added back. Tacyarg (talk) 19:57, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Harton Academy
I've reverted several times the addition of Ofsted judgements to the lead at Harton Academy. I've started a discussion on the Talk page about this - my view is that, because judgements change over time, it's not sensible to include them in the lead. Does that seem reasonable to members of this project? I'm wondering whether the other editor is editing on mobile and not getting notifications of messages on his Talk page. Thanks.

 * Update to this; other editors are now engaging in the discussion on the Talk page, but I'd welcome input from other editors with expertise on school articles. My view is still that Ofsted judgements shouldn't be in the lead, but I note that The Judd School does include the school's judgement in the lead, albeit possibly a special case because of the amount of evidence pointing to a very high achieving school in that case. Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 11:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Key people of Redlands High School
Perhaps some others wouldn't mind watching Redlands High School for a bit to make sure "Key people" being added to the article's infobox are actually worth adding. My guess is that might have some connection to the school (student perhaps) and is adding names of current students to the infobox who meet their definition of "key people" without really establishing why. It could also just be someone goofing around. Anyway, I started a discussion on the article's talk page to try and get them to engage and perhaps they will; if they don't, however, if might be better for others to get involved so it's not just the two of us going back and forth. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:23, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Need Help with Nord Anglia Education
This corporation has, for quite some time, engaged in serious promotional editing and COI violations the articles related to their schools are stuffed with press releases and few independent sources. I need some help figuring out what articles get kept per notability and which get folded into the article on NAE itself. There probably needs to be a "list of NAE schools" article, given the way things are panning out. Allan Nonymous (talk) 14:36, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Plano Christian Academy


The article Plano Christian Academy has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Small defunct school. May have closed in 2010 after just 7 years. No 3rd party sources to show enduring notability."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
