Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Education

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Education. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Education|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Education. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

I get where you're coming from, but I think the subject does have enough coverage in reliable sources to meet notability on its own. I’m open to improving the article with better references if that helps. A merge could work, but I’d prefer to try building it up a bit first—worth a shot before removing it entirely.

Disputed Draftification; WP:DRAFTOBJECT applies. Fails WP:NPROF. In an AFC review this was stated: "According to https://ludzie.nauka.gov.pl/ln/profiles/QAO46PMcoxU/publications he has a total of 8 publications; Scopus says 21 with 104 citations. This is far short of what we require to pass WP:NPROF. Note that being a Department Chair or Dean does not qualify him either." by Ldm1954, with whom I agree.

  • Delete. BLP created almost simultaneously in the English and Polish Wikipedias. At least for the English Wikipedia, he falls far short of satisfying any of WP:NPROF with a decidedly modest h-factor, publication record and no major awards. Originator (who uses two accounts, albeit acknowledging this) argued first that he passes WP:NPROF#C1, then changed it to a pass of WP:NPROF#C6 when he moved the page back to main after draftification. This despite an AfC comment that Dean's don't qualify and about publication history (subsequently removed by Laura240406 as AfC cleanup, but still there in the history). No attempt to repair other deficiencies to the article which are clearly tagged. While novice editors should have some leeway, it is not appropriate for them to make up their own interpretation of WP:NPROF.Ldm1954 (talk) 20:33, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @David Eppstein we don't have any evidence or claim for any other notability criterion, in this regard, kindly see my comments below. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:56, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: In Poland, the President grants the academic title of Professor. This is a significant academic achievement, often awarded to individuals who have made substantial contributions to their field of study. This is a definite WP:NPROF #2 and #4 pass and I think if a source can be provided in this regard, then this can be kept. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:01, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Per my comment above, this source (see PDF) confirms it and this conferment is a clear NPROF#2 as being a "highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national level". Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:49, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I am not convinced by the argument brought forward regarding WP:NPROF. With regards to NPROF#1, his Scopus profile shows 21 total publications and a h index of 7 (note that there are at least 6 people publishing under the same name but I checked the publications and it seems Scopus has properly distinguished them). Based on his citation record, I conclude that he doesnt pass #1. With regards to NPROF#6 there is no evidence he held a post beyond Dean which does not fulfill #6. With regards to the document that Vanderwaalforces presented, I translated it and it seems to be the appointment to the post of "professor", this is however *not* what NPROF#2 is intended - these are major awards from academic societies or general awards like Fields Medals, Nobel prizes etc. One could argue that this may fulfill NPROF#5 since this is an appointment that (probably) not all professors get and is thus equivalent to a distinguished professorship at a US university and he thus he passes the "average professor test" since he is elevated beyond the "average professor". To me that is the strongest argument of all the ones I evaluated. However, I dont know enough about the academic structure in the country but I dont see enough evidence that this is indeed such an unusual occurrence to grant notability *on its own* in the presence of a weak citation record. In totality, both the content of the article and the additional arguments presented here have not convinced me that this a person that passes WP:NPROF. --hroest 17:46, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Hannes Röst criterion #2 didn't just mention awards, it says "award or honor", and FWIW, it clearly, by all means, and by all interpretation, passes #2. This is a country's highest and significant academic achievement we're talking about here, and the source that backs it up is a government ministry's site. What more do we need? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:55, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Vanderwaalforces There is some clarification in the section below that specifies "Examples may include certain awards, honors and prizes of notable academic societies, of notable foundations and trusts" which I interpret as different from an official promotion. A named award or fellowship that is open to any researcher on a national level is different than what you describe which is more like a "distinguished promotion" within the ranks of academia that only some achieve. As I said, promotion to full professor more likely falls under NPROF#5 with "The person has held a distinguished professor appointment at a major institution [...] or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon. " which could be a fair argument to make but I dont see enough evidence for this (neither the "major institution" nor that this is equivalent to a distinguished professor at say Stanford/MIT/Yale ...). --hroest 13:44, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keepComment. His article will remain on pl wiki, which considers habilitation sufficent for notability. I know en wiki does not. Interesting discrepancy, but that's wiki for you. I cannot find any other reasons to argue for keeping him, under en wiki rules (the claim that his book is an "important contributions" is cited to a routine government document justifying his promotion to the rank of professor and is in fact FAKE, since that document does not provide any justification - that falsificaiton of content made me withdraw my keep vote, since it is dishonest), although he does have the next "higher" level of academic degree (above) habilitaiton, i.e. the professor (as noted by Vanderwaalforces). Frankly, I'd support traeting that level as granting notability, but that's seems to be a dissenting view. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:11, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Piotrus is it fake? Ah. Please point me or rather direct me to where you made the conclusion from? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 06:27, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Vanderwaalforces "are important contributions" is footnoted to [1]; that's just gov't document stating he (and some other folks) got the title of professor, but it contains no justification. That's sloppy writing at best, and in practice, improper use of sources. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:18, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Piotrus I'm sorry to be asking too much questions, lol, but I need to be clearer; What do you mean by it contains no justification though?
    FWIW, I think that if the highest academic "honor" (and not "award" in this case) is the President granting them the title of Professor, then that clearly satisfies criterion #2 from my viewpoint. I just feel most times, we're not consistent with our interpretation of notability guidelines and this might be increasing the systemic bias some of us are trying to reduce. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:55, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Vanderwaalforces No need to be sorry. What I mean is that it's a simple document (which you can open and translate with your phone or Google Translate or ChatGPT or such), and it simply states that such and such person received the professor title. It does not say what for, so the use of this document as a reference for the claim that he made "important contributions", is, IMHO, improper. Now, we can use common sense and deduce that only scholars with important contributions would receive such a title, but that's is meaningless WP:PEACOCK. For me, it's one thing to say that "according to reliable source X, his contributions have been called important", and another to use flowery, promotional languages. Since I am quite annoyed at the latter, I did change my weak keep to abstain, in hope that it will teach the creator to be more neutral (if they apologized and rewrote it, I may reconsider, but it does not seem that they are active enough, or care enough about this article, to comment here, so, sigh). As for your interpretation of #2, I weakly agree with you, hence my weak keep. I hope I explained why I changed to abstain (I really dislike promotion and poor/fake sourcing).

Page on a single undergraduate class, translated from the pt-wiki. There is nothing notable about this class, the page is just an extended description without any coverage from what I can see. This is not what (the english) Wikipedia is for, class information can go on Facebook, LinkedIn or similar. The page should probably have been draftified, but missed the 90 day window. Deletion seems appropriate, as I do not see how this can possibly be edited to pass any of the english WP notability criteria. (Possible COI as well, but that is not the deciding factor.)

  • Delete as failing to meet WP:GNG. It's possible that a single college or university could be independently notable.

Upon search, I don't think that the school is notable enough to warrant a standalone article. As far as my search, I don't see any reliable, secondary coverage, and the current state of the article also primarily cites their own website. WormEater13 (talkcontribs) 14:49, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete there is no indication of passing WP:NSCHOOL, there are no secondary sources that I could find in books that go beyond trivial coverage. There are some sources on a formar headmaster but mentions the school in one line. The arguments of User talk:Somajyoti and User:Win Kyaw boil down to WP:SOURCESMAYEXIST which is not sufficient. Similarly the fact that notable alumni have studied here does not make the school notable by itself. @User talk:Somajyoti and @User:Win Kyaw, please see this RFC which was discussed in great length and concludes that High schools are not inherently noteable and that reliable independent WP:SIGCOV needs to exist for them as well, which I dont see here.

I apologise in advance to participants, as this is going to be a tricky one to research, as "ready to learn" is going to find many unrelated pages. The page subject, however, is a zero-tolerance behaviour policy for schools including a one page template document describing it. It was invented at Henbury school, Bristol (now Blaise High School) which page does not mention it. It was used by a few other schools, but not researched or written about in secondary sources, with the one exception of a BBC 2 documentary [12] which is a good source, although the programme was generally about schools (part of a series) and this just happened to be used in one of them. It raised some local controversy in schools that used the system, so there are a couple of news reports, but the reporting would fall foul of WP:PRIMARYNEWS. The article itself is full of WP:OR, but the question is not whether the article will do, but rather whether these (or other sources I have been unable to find) would give us multiple secondary sources from which we could write an encyclopaedic article about the system. Many schools have such systems, and personally I doubt there is anything notable about this one. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Ramos1990, even if it technically passes notability guidelines, I think it'd be better off as part of the town article until more reliable secondary sources are found

  • Strong Keep - I added a source from the The Michigan Chronicle that was not all that hard to find. I just inserted a sentence and added the source.

All I can see is a single article that is a puff piece for a corporate donation to the school and contains hardly any information about the school itself, the best information you could extract from that article is that the donation happened, nothing more. I still dont see WP:THREE reliable independent sources with WP:SIGCOV. --hroest 19:25, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only routine local coverage, nothing that satisfies WP:GNG. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:31, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very Weak Delete. Not sure here. On one hand the Hartford Courant, the biggest newspaper in a fairly populous state, appears to have a routine "in the schools" section that regularly covered Enrico Fermi. But, almost all of the coverage is routine in nature (e.g., school dances, sports, announcements, etc.), or human interest stories that do not necessarily contribute to notability. nf utvol (talk) 00:29, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
keep or merge into Enfield High School nothing against local newspapers, this article seems well researched with lots of references to offline newspaper archive which I presume is WP:SIGCOV of the local school (I dont have access to these offline sources). The article is well sourced with a lot of informative details that would be hard to research online and offline. I dont see any reason to remove this work, it should be preserved either in this article or in the Enfield High School article. AfD for high schools is designed for poorly researched, WP:ROTM articles that have no encyclopedic quality and cannot be supported by WP:RS, this article is not that at all. This was discussed here with exactly this problem in mind:
Because extant secondary schools often have reliable sources that are concentrated in print and/or local media, a deeper search than normal is needed to attempt to find these sources. At minimum, this search should include some local print media. If a deep search is conducted, and still comes up empty, then the school article should be deleted for not meeting the GNG - Editors are not expected to prove the negative that sources do not exist, but they should make a good-faith effort to find them. If a normal-depth search fails to find any evidence that the school exists, the article on the school should be deleted without the need for a deeper search.
However, in this case the article author has done exactly that, a deep search with local media and produced a reasonable quality article based on coverage in WP:RS. --hroest 14:41, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment Public universities are usually found (but not presumed) notable, because they are large, often old organisations with publication output and a public profile. They need to meet WP:GNG. This one doesn't, but it is not wholly invisible. There are news reports like this one [13] which won't do for writing the article. It gets passing mentions in a few books etc. May just be TOOSOON becaue it is very new and is also very small for a university. Can we find a redirect target as an ATD? I was going to !vote as a weak delete, but I'd rather find a merge or redirect target. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:09, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Founded nine years ago, it's not surprising that there's not a lot of coverage. Since this university only has undergraduate degrees, it's what would probably be called an agricultural and technical college in the United States. They were, before the Covid-19 pandemic, planning on adding graduate degrees, but there's no evidence that it's happening. They have had, as far as I can see online, a single research paper published. There are a few news items on Google news. So I'm leaning towards a keep. Bearian (talk) 22:31, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
