Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

A tag has been placed on Scargill Junior School, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A tag has been placed on Whybridge Junior School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://whybridge-jun.havering.sch.uk/school-welcome/3960-our-school-vision.html and http://whybridge-jun.havering.sch.uk/our-school/3956-school-history.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Notability of schools

[edit]

I have noticed that you have created a number of articles about schools. Please note that Wikipedia's guiding principles for school-related articles are found at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, which I will repeat here:

Schools are frequently nominated for deletion. The current notability guidelines for schools and other education institutions are Wikipedia:Notability (WP:N), Wikipedia:Notability (geography) (WP:NGEO) and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) (WP:ORG).

  1. Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected in AfD. Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them (generally North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere or where there is no governing body) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia. 'Redirect' as an alternative to deletion is anchored in policy.
  2. Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools have historically been kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists.
  3. Schools that are being planned or built, except high schools reliably sourced to be opened within 12 months, are usually deleted.

In addition, please do not copy and paste content from school websites. These are copyright violations and will be deleted unless a proper release from the copyright holder has been obtained. Even if the content were properly licensed, the text does not conform to the required neutral point of view and would require significant alterations.

I don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm to contribute to Wikipedia. However, I think you need to become a bit more familiar with the policies, guidelines and expectations that go into creating content here. I suggest that you read Wikipedia:Your first article to become familiar with the process of creating an article from scratch. These are also helpful resources:

Good luck. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:34, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
