Hurstpierpoint College

Tagged for speedy as "not worth cleanup", only that's nowhere close to a speedy criterion. Abstrain. -Splashtalk 12:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, established school. Kappa 13:12, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep long standing institution, which has a couple notables so far, and I suspect more will pop up, partly because of the age of the place.. --rob 13:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep notable alumni, valid stub. Alf melmac 13:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, per Schools for Deletion. Gateman1997 15:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, obviously. Dunc|☺ 16:12, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, indicates notability. Gazpacho 17:52, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, this is a school--Nicodemus75 20:57, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep School. Klonimus 20:28, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a notable school. Cmadler 20:57, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Apparently it was worth cleanup. School has notable alumni and article contains an actual reference. Could someone expand the fair use rationale on the image? At the moment it's quite lacking. - Mgm|(talk) 22:42, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
    • What is the problem with the fair use rationale? The school uses the picture to describe/promote itself, wikipedia uses the picture to describe the school, aiding it in its purpose. It's the same as publicity photos. Kappa 00:24, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
As I understand, fair use rationales should also address why a free image couldn't be found among other things. - Mgm|(talk) 10:43, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I'd keep. -- Phil Welch 23:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • keep please why are we now seeing universities even on here that really does not make sense at all Yuckfoo 07:16, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a high school (aka secondary school), and not a university, and not what North Americans would call a "college". I don't think any Universities are on AFD, the last time I looked. But, it's still a solid keep. --rob 07:46, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Instituto de Empresa Business School, a university-level degree granting institution, was listed relatively recently for deletion here. Silensor 19:57, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
        • That's not a University, but I would still oppose it's deletion. --rob 21:10, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It has only slightly more Google hits than stud... I mean pupils, the alumni includes only very minor celebrities and otherwise it seems to be an upscale boarding school like any other. You're not seriously voting to keep this just because it's called "college", are you guys? :-) / Peter Isotalo 01:04, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
    • reply: Ronald Neame may not be a major celeb in the sense a supermodel is. But, what he helped make is notable, and what helped him to be able to make what he made, is notable. --rob 02:29, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - looks notable. Guettarda 02:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia content is not and should not be determined based on the arbitrary application of such vague, relative concepts as "importance" or "notability". Keep.--Gene_poole 13:34, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Significant English "public school" ( that is, in American terms, "private school" ). WMMartin 17:37, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep for the reasons expressed at Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. The article already lists a significant number of notable alumni as well. Silensor 19:57, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
