Just another unremarkable primary school. Not encyclopedic, unless we start a sister project, the Wikiguide to All of the Schools in the World. Strong Delete. Rlquall 21:27, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep - factual, verifiable. Could do with cleanup though - David Gerard 22:04, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve. No evidence that keeping this requires us to start such a sister project. Mark Richards 22:07, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - there is nothing wrong with it. The bellman 08:32, 2004 Nov 19 (UTC)

Obviously I've already voted and am not trying to do so again. But it's a primary school, for crying out loud. I'm not questioning that the article is factual, just that articles about primary schools don't belong in any encyclopedia unless they are notable — very notable. Why is this school such? Large enrollment? Singaporean location? Why am I so off here? (Don't worry – even a unanimous vote except for me to keep won't result in me writing an article about my primary school).

Because my dear friend, to the principal, the teachers, the students, and the parents, the school is a very large part of thier lives, and thus to them quite notable. And to someone looking to move into the area, some information about the local primary school, could well be quite useful. Notability is completely subjective. The real question is if there are enough editors to make sure that minor articles like these stay NPOV and free of vandalism. And to find out the answer to that question we must keep the article, and let time do its work for however long it takes for the answer to become clear, The bellman 05:50, 2004 Nov 30 (UTC)
Lots of things are notable to lots of people without them being encyclopedic. Gamaliel 06:13, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, or at least trim wildly. Why is this here? --Calton 01:17, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
