If it's so famous, why don't you write something about it? <KF> 16:20, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)
From VfD[edit]
- Oberschule am Elsengrund - I have asked the author(s) to actually write some text on that school. Only if they do not should this article be deleted.

- I've looked at the article in German wikipedia and at the school web site. Its a school in east Berlin. I have added to the article but found nothing special. I will put the vfd tag on the page as you didn't. Secretlondon 17:20, Jan 19, 2004 (UTC)
- UtherSRG and Secretlondon, please don't be so strict with me. For the school in question: As far as I'm concerned, adding trivial information on a particular school does not make the article any more encyclopaedic. Encyclopaedias traditionally draw the line at university level: An institution of higher learning deserves its own article, a school does not unless
- (1) the building that houses the school is of architectural value;
- (2) lots of famous people were educated there, preferably by equally famous teachers;
- (3) it features prominently in a book or, even better, a movie;
- (4) it was the scene of a bombing, school massacre, etc.

- Did the policy on schools ever get finalized? KEEP, Wiki is not paper. Gentgeen 08:19, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Pray, what policy on schools? <KF> 14:41, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Neutral. Current practice and I think policy is to delete such entries, much discussed, sorry I can't provide a link, but I don't think it's a very well thought out policy. Andrewa 16:56, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- There isn't a policy as such; there is a discussion of a proposed policy at Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy/schools though. Angela. 00:58, Jan 25, 2004 (UTC)
