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 words schools and and/or schools:
“Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parents.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“In schools all over the world, little boys learn that their country is the greatest in the world, and the highest honor that could befall them would be to defend it heroically someday. The fact that empathy has traditionally been conditioned out of boys facilitates their obedience to leaders who order them to kill strangers.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
