List of schools in Antwerp

Useless list. (see WP:NOT) --Lord Snoeckx 11:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge somehow into List of universities in Belgium if 'schools' in this case means higher education. Otherwise, this appears to fit in with List of schools by country (in fact it's linked from that article, or a sub-article of it anyway). Someone clearly has gone through a lot of trouble to come up with the lists, but i'm not sure if 'lower' institutions of education are notable enough for Wikipedia. If they aren't, i guess somebody should delete all of those lists, not just this one. ~ lav-chan @ 12:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Comment: School is in this case secondary education, so this belongs to List of schools by country --Lord Snoeckx 14:57, 23 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Merge and redirect to list of schools by country. --Myles Long 19:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I can't see anything wrong with this list. List of schools by country is merely a list of articles. One of the articles is List of schools in Belgium, which lists three articles, one of which is List of schools in Antwerp. So I fail to see what we would achieve by redirecting it - it would be a purely circular redirect. -- Necrothesp 01:32, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Useless list. It is an old copy of this list. Note that it does say" incomplete". Well, Steiner-Hibernia in the town of Antwerp is missing, for instance. --Pan Gerwazy 12:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Poor argument for deletion. This is Wikipedia. We can add to lists any time we want. Incomplete lists are perfectly valid. -- Necrothesp 13:06, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment. You are right, I should have elaborated. How is this one: if we add the ones that are now included in the list I mentioned above (Kunsthumaniora eg), would not that constitute a copyright violation? --Pan Gerwazy 15:51, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: WP:Notability is not an issue for lists, those are supposed to have minor items in an attempt to be[come] complete. There should be a notable interest for having such a list. Since there is a List of schools by country, such is clearly the case, less all lists of schools become a grouped AfD. Does anyone assume the list of UNESCO monuments to have been created by looking for signboards across the world? Many lists are copy-edited from an external source. The information is not some copyrighted material and can [have] be[en] obtained elsewhere. The present scheme of countries / provinces (or departments or...) is good: if all 10 provinces would become completed, it would probably be too large for a single page. It certainly would be for larger countries, and it seems better to maintain a classification method that can be used for any country. The Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg does not have provinces. — SomeHuman 3 Oct 2006 22:01 (UTC)
Keep per SomeHuman and allow for organic growth. Bahn Mi 00:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep useful list. --Vsion 01:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
