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:

    Absolute catholicity of taste is not without its dangers. It is only an auctioneer who should admire all schools of art.
