Delete. Article in it current form is a childish hoax. However, I am nominating for AFD rather than {{prod}}ding because I feel there shouldn't be an article on the school at all. That decision requires consensus. Superm401 - Talk 01:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I've removed the unverified and false info. You can see the original version. Superm401 - Talk 01:32, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete: Non-notable and is essentially nothing more than a link. --Hetar 01:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete this empty SchoolCruft. Deiz 01:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep, plenty of verifiable resources are available to expand this article about an English secondary school. Silensor 01:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Funny you should assume there are plenty of verifiable resources, funnier yet you should assume anyone will bother to expand this pathetic little article. Chances, my friend, are bleak. Denni ☯ 01:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Even though the school in question lacks famous alumni, or a sex scandal for that matter, deleting it would set a sour precedent, leading essentially to the deletion of all school "SchoolCruft" articles on Wikipedia. --Jay(Reply) 02:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • And this would be bad because...? Denni ☯ 01:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:SCHOOL. Royboycrashfan 05:27, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Sittingbourne, otherwise it is yet another of the literally tens of thousands of school articles that will sit here year after year unedited except for the occasional bit of vandalism. What's the point of recreating the WWW? Average Earthman 06:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - it ceratinly seems a decent little article now, as opposed to the version the nom saw. Turnstep 06:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Article now tidy but are there any other factors for notability that could be mentioned?  (aeropagitica)  07:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Proto. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 15:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as it meets WP:SCH criteria. -- Samir ∙ ^T_C 22:52, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Why not just create one "how excruciatingly boring am I" article and redirect all schools to it. That way, every school gets to be recognized with an article which tells the whole world exactly what wonderful and unique qualities it (doesn't) have, and Wikipedia saves space. Win-win! Denni ☯ 01:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep. If we are going to judge articles by their entertainment value- as the user above seems to suggest- huge sections of this site would have to go, including most of our coverage of Canadian villages. People need to look beyond their limited POV frameworks and embrace the idea that wikipedia can be more than a print encyclopedia. It can serve the interests of a broad section of mankind. I happen to like articles on schools and this article is off to a good start. It can and will get better over the years. -- JJay 10:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
