Notable[edit]

not notable enough for its own article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.102.218 (talk)

I have to disagree, with some expansion and work this could be a very good article. Deletion would also defeat the objective of the Wiki Schools Project, as the majority of articles it deals with are of this type, and more notable education establishments articles are with other projects, such as Wiki Universities Project.

It doesn't work like that. .— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.102.218 (talk)
Actually, Wikipedia articles should not be adverts but cleaning an article should be put before deletion. Camaron1 | Chris 16:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment[edit]

This article has now been assessed, the reason for the ratings are as follows: Gives a good introduction to readers, though lacks structure and detail. More content and references, as well as an infobox, are needed to improve this article. Camaron1 | Chris 17:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revert tag edit war.[edit]

There appears to be an anonymous user with a dynamically assigned, variable, IP address 82.26.98.237 - 82.26.110.9 - 82.26.111.152 - 82.26.99.28 - 83.26.102.63 - 82.26.106.254 - 82.26.107.31 - 82.26.102.218 to name a few.
Who has for some reason, either simple mischief, dislike of the city of Portsmouth England or its educational establishments or some other reason not apparent, decided to repeatedly call by one method or another for the deletion of a set of articles.

South Downs College (Portsmouth)
Mayfield School (Portsmouth)
City of Portsmouth Boys' School
The Portsmouth Grammar School
Portsmouth High School (Southsea) a subdivision of Portsmouth
St John's College (Portsmouth)
City of Portsmouth Girls' School
Priory School (Portsmouth)

Similarly this user has recently made changes to the main Portsmouth page by unlinking
Highbury College, Portsmouth College, South Downs College and Havant College Admiral Lord Nelson School, City of Portsmouth Girls' School, King Richard School, Mayfield School, Milton Cross School, Priory School, Springfield School, St Edmund's RC School, St Luke's C of E VA Secondary School and City of Portsmouth Boys' School.

In addition as, user Simon S Sumpton (since blocked) this user seems to have created diverts for
Admiral Lord Nelson School (Portsmouth)
King Richard Secondary School (Portsmouth)
Milton Cross School (Portsmouth)
Springfield School (Portsmouth)
St Edmund's RC School (Portsmouth)
St Luke's School (Portsmouth).

It might be suggested that the user is attempting by a series of guerrilla actions to use Wikipedia policies and procedures in an attempt to get administrators to remove all traces of many if not all educational establishments in the Portsmouth area.

While the standard of some of these articles is poor, their removal will not encourage those who have an interest in them to make the necessary improvements to bring them up to an acceptable level.

Deletion would also defeat the objective of the Wiki Schools Project, as the majority of articles it deals with are of this type, and more notable education establishments articles are with other projects, such as Wiki Universities Project.

Information.

Merge[edit]

I am against the proposed merge of articles suggested it would cause a loss of information in many cases and an overloading of the main page. Notably a similar set of proposals was made by an anonymous user to disrupt the Portsmouth page and those of its schools information is here and also here -- Drappel 21:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am also against the proposed merge for the reasons given by Drappel. Espresso Addict 00:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
