Notability
[edit]Unless notability can be demonstrated such as for example:
- exceptionally old school
- major national or international awards for academic work or sport
- spawning extremely notable persons (high ranking politicians, high ranking academics)
- building of exceptional archeological listing
- significant dedicated article coverage in national press, TV, etc.
-elementary schools, middle schools, and other school not providing full-time education to Grade 12, 6th Form, for up to 18 year old students, do not generally qualify for Wikipedia stand-alone articles and are merged to the respective school district, county, or town article. Please see: WP:GNG, WP:ORG, WP:WPSCH, WP:SCH/AG. --Kudpung (talk) 04:38, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Is not a current England Cricketer extremely notable? See Kudpung's User page for our personal discussion, but please add your own thoughts here. Philip.t.day (talk) 10:40, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Philip. You probably mean my talk page, and you probably did not read the instructions at the top it before posting. I have left a personal message for you there. As concerns this article, have you read WP:WPSCH/AG? Two lightly notable alumni and a very small school with little or no significant coverage in the established media, do not, IMHO, assert notability for your school. I have not proposed it for deletion, but more references are required. Failing which, we can put it to community decision at AfD, but I would rather merge it to the education section of the article about its locality, as per the usual Wikipedia practice.--Kudpung (talk) 12:39, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hey back at'cha. I did mean your talk page (which is why it's what is linked.. don't be deceived by the fact the link only appears to have your name! hehe. Also, I did read your instructions, but I felt my reply was a personal question/comment to you, less the more public response, which I posted here - as instructed ;)
- I understand you're not gunning for deletion and I accept a merger might be the best course of action, but I am keen to see what other editors think regarding this - Please don't that that as a personal insult, I have just always been a fan of a second, third and twelfth opinion! I also understand that you're only trying to help, and by the number of barn-stars on your talk page you are a prolific "nice person" so for that I do greatly respect you.

- Not taken as an insult in any shape or form :) Just doing my job implementing the rules and guidelines as acting 'caretaker' of the Wikipedia Schools Project. Kudpung (talk) 22:08, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Merge proposal
[edit]It has been suggested that this school-related article be merged to the appropriate locality article. Standard practice established through precedent (see: WP:WPSCH) is to blank and redirect non notable schools to their School District article (USA) or to the education section of their locality (rest of the world) and merge ant basic, usable content.
- Redirect as proposed. School is not notable. Notability is not inherited from one lone cricketer. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:05, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
- Comment There's a small problem here: it will bulk out Mayfield and Five Ashes quite significantly to add another school to it. It may be time to split Five Ashes out into a separate article if we are to merge this into it. —Tom Morris (talk) 04:38, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
- Redirect There is nothing here that should take up more than a line or two per due weight.--Charles (talk) 08:42, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. This school has two notable alumni which were deleted from older versions of this article Laura Marsh and Tim Haines. I think it is premature to consider a merge without further investigation. The article as it stands is fully supported with reliable sources. Dahliarose (talk) 14:01, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Comment on comment. There is only one independent source, the schools inspectorate. That is not enough to meet WP:GNG. The alumni can still be included at the local settlement article if they are extremely notable. Merging is not final. If somebody finds sufficient coverage in future the article can be recreated but for the present it does not make a worthwhile article.--Charles (talk) 16:46, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- A lack of sources is no reason for a merge. The article as it now stands would swamp the target page. A merge is only appropriate if sufficient sources do not exist to expand the article. Dahliarose (talk) 17:53, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
