Abington Friends School[edit]
Reason -- not notable. Also not capitalized correctly! Invitatious 21:40, 25 May 2006 (UTC) (I have moved the page.)[reply]
- Keep generally schools are held to be notable enough to have Wikipedia articles. While this article is currently particularly poor (I'd earlier tagged it for improvement) it is about a real school [1] and should be kept and improved. Gwernol 21:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- keep as per above. Roodog2k 22:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, schools are notable, especially one that's been around since 1697. Accurizer 23:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep. Schools are not inherently notable and there is no policy or guideline saying so. That said, I would suspect a school founded in 1697 may have some sort of notability and editors ought to be given the opportunity to expand on that point. Fluit 18:10, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Abington Friends is well known in its own context, and the historical nature helps (though of course, the article could use some expansion). Dirk Gently 14:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
