 | This page was proposed for deletion by Dbiel (talk · contribs) on 10 May 2008 with the comment: This article is the result of a single edit on April 18. The entry lacks notibility and is non-encyclopedic It was contested by Phil Bridger (talk · contribs) on 2008-05-11 with the comment: High school deletions are controversial, so should be done without AfD discussion, and I don't understand what being "the result of a single edit on April 18" has to do with deletion. |

[edit]This is not my article. Schools are not subject to speedy, this must go to AfD. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 18:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, this is unencyclopedic, needs some work, but it is not unsalvagable. I am removing CSD. PROD first then Afd if it doesn't improve. --Triwbe (talk) 18:49, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- OK, it's been over six seeks, and it still hasn't improved yet ... WP:AFD, anyone? Happy Editing! — 151.200.237.53 (talk · contribs) 20:10, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've had it with schools, WP:SCHOOLS is completely ignored, even school newpspapers and after school clubs seem to be getting through. In this acse the result would be, at best, merge to Tranent and then no one would actually do the merge. That's WP:CONSENSUS :-( --Triwbe (talk) 04:35, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- I guess I found the answer myself, I will merge with and redirect to Tranent. --Triwbe (talk) 06:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
In my opinion, this article either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Schools, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.
Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.
Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:Jamiebalfour04 (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.
Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation. Happy Editing! — 72.75.78.69 (talk · contribs) 17:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
