Appears to be a non-notable primary school with minimal refs outside of generic and statutory Ofsted reports. Suggest Delete although willing to accept Merge and Redirect to Frimley#Education. Fmph (talk) 10:52, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:PERNOM. --Ritchie333 (talk) 10:37, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I read it. It is an essay. Of the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays may represent widespread norms or minority viewpoints. Essays are not Wikipedia policies. I think it is a silly one, and am always amused by those who cite it as if to say "per the essay pernom".--Epeefleche (talk) 10:46, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Quite correct, it's an essay. But far from being silly, it is one that instead of expressing an opinion, simply documents precedents that have been established, and that can legitimately be used per 'common law'. It dispenses with the need for listing 100s (pererhaps 1,000s) of diffs on every school AfD that can be closed as 'redirect'. Wikipedia is not necessarily inclusionist per se, but the general recommendations are that all other solutions should be examined, with deletion being a last resort.

Hi Kud. Perhaps we are discussing different things. I wrote "per nom". Our friend Ritchie apparently disliked the brevity of that response, and basically said "per essay pernom". As even that essay -- which as we agree is simply an expression of opinion of one or more editors -- says, "If the rationale provided in the nomination includes a comprehensive argument, specific policy references and/or a compelling presentation of evidence in favour of keeping or deletion, a simple endorsement of the nominator's argument may be sufficient, typically indicated by "per nom"." That's what we are discussing above, not relates to school AFDs and which should be kept -- that is not the focus of what he and I were discussing. Happy new year.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:25, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You've lost me completely. I wish I'd just said "Could you expand a bit more on your rationale for a delete", but thought a simple link to WP:PERNOM would give more clout and save a few paragraphs of disagreement. I don't think the page should stay either, by the way. --Ritchie333 (talk) 19:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Per nom" in this case means, as the rationale set forth by nom indicates, "Appears to be a non-notable primary school with minimal refs outside of generic and statutory Ofsted reports." Even if one is in support of the essay, that falls within what the essay has in mind, IMHO, when it says "If the rationale provided in the nomination includes a comprehensive argument, specific policy references and/or a compelling presentation of evidence in favour of ... deletion, a simple endorsement of the nominator's argument may be sufficient, typically indicated by "per nom". Best, and happy new year.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:07, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The nomination includes none of these things. It makes no reference to policy and makes an improper reference to a guideline contrary to WP:HONEST (WP:N makes no references to generic or statutory as exclusions and so suggesting otherwise is misleading). The nomination makes no specific recommendation but instead havers about deletion or redirection or merger in an indecisive way. As this is not a vote and your per-nom shows no independent appreciation of these factors, it should be dismissed. Warden (talk) 23:29, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The nomination states the view that this school "Appears to be a non-notable primary school with minimal refs outside of generic and statutory Ofsted reports." I agree. I am of the view that where we have a primary school that has minimal RS refs outside of such reports, per our precedent and the apparent consensus reflected at this and other school AfDs, a delete or redirect would be appropriate, and I'm in favor of a delete for the aforesaid reasons. I understand that Warden disagrees, and respect his opinion.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:52, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the record, I don't respect user:Warden's opinion that those that disagree with him are somehow dishonest. Fmph (talk) 07:35, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
