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 words schools and and/or schools:

    It is too late in the century for women who have received the benefits of co-education in schools and colleges, and who bear their full share in the world’s work, not to care who make the laws, who expound and who administer them.
    J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)

    We’re for statehood. We want statehood because statehood means the protection of our farms and our fences; and it means schools for our children; and it means progress for the future.
    Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)
