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
- Subject of an independent article/documentary: see above, and consider if it was the style/art and the school/organisation was an example.
- Long, externally verifiable history
- Large number of students
- Regular or large competitive successes in inter-school/ organisation tournaments where the style is notable.
- 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
- Short history: be wary of adverts and splinter styles, a sub-section is more appropriates for the latter
- Small school

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
