Schools and Organisations

Note: unless the art/style is notable, a school or organisation teaching it is unlikely to be. Hence these criteria are similar.

Criteria supporting notability

  1. Subject of an independent article/documentary: see above, and consider if it was the style/art and the school/organisation was an example.
  2. Long, externally verifiable history
  3. Large number of students
  4. Regular or large competitive successes in inter-school/ organisation tournaments where the style is notable.
  5. Multiple wide spread sites: an organisation 2 or 3 in a 30 mile radius is a lot less likely to be notable than one with 30 schools in different countries. These are the extremes but illustrate the point.

Criteria supporting deletion

  1. Short history: be wary of adverts and splinter styles, a sub-section is more appropriates for the latter
  2. Small school

Famous quotes containing the word schools:

    Good schools are schools for the development of the whole child. They seek to help children develop to their maximum their social powers and their intellectual powers, their emotional capacities, their physical powers.
    James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
