South Downs College is, and always has been, a further education college, NOT a sixth form college. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.96.14 (talk)

south downs is o so great — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.122.27.36 (talk)

I've added a recreation page, so if you can think of anything to say about the college resturant go ahead. I've never been and know very little. Dark-Chaos 21:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Dark-Chaos - you forgot the good old Cafe North!! Bruce 13:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps we could also have a little section on the 1979 fire - don't really know much about it though!

along with plans to rebuild some of the smaller ones

Which buildings are being rebuilt? Bruce 13:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply


Assessment

edit

I have assessed this article on importance and content to help in future improvement. The feedback I gave was: This article contains some good information and is a reasonable stub. For improvement this article needs to be expanded to include other subjects such as history and school policies. Also, editors of this article need to make sure their contributions include references and maintain a neutral point of view. Camaron1 | Chris 19:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notable

edit

this isn't notable enough for its own article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.26.102.218 (talk) 12:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC).Reply

I have to disagree, with some expansion and work this could be a very good article. Deletion would also defeat the objective of the Wiki Schools Project, as the majority of articles it deals with are of this type, and more notable education establishments articles are with other projects, such as Wiki Universities Project.

It doesn't work like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.102.218 (talkcontribs)
Again, I am not following this. After reviewing this article and its "Mid" importance rating, it is clearly notable. Camaron1 | Chris 16:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

There appears to be an anonymous user with a dynamically assigned, variable, IP address 82.26.98.237 - 82.26.110.9 - 82.26.111.152 - 82.26.99.28 - 83.26.102.63 - 82.26.106.254 - 82.26.107.31 - 82.26.102.218 to name a few.
Who has for some reason, either simple mischief, dislike of the city of Portsmouth England or its educational establishments or some other reason not apparent, decided to repeatedly call by one method or another for the deletion of a set of articles.

South Downs College (Portsmouth)
Mayfield School (Portsmouth)
City of Portsmouth Boys' School
The Portsmouth Grammar School
Portsmouth High School (Southsea) a subdivision of Portsmouth
St John's College (Portsmouth)
City of Portsmouth Girls' School
Priory School (Portsmouth)

Similarly this user has recently made changes to the main Portsmouth page by unlinking
Highbury College, Portsmouth College, South Downs College and Havant College Admiral Lord Nelson School, City of Portsmouth Girls' School, King Richard School, Mayfield School, Milton Cross School, Priory School, Springfield School, St Edmund's RC School, St Luke's C of E VA Secondary School and City of Portsmouth Boys' School.

In addition as, user Simon S Sumpton (since blocked) this user seems to have created diverts for
Admiral Lord Nelson School (Portsmouth)
King Richard Secondary School (Portsmouth)
Milton Cross School (Portsmouth)
Springfield School (Portsmouth)
St Edmund's RC School (Portsmouth)
St Luke's School (Portsmouth).

It might be suggested that the user is attempting by a series of guerrilla actions to use Wikipedia policies and procedures in an attempt to get administrators to remove all traces of many if not all educational establishments in the Portsmouth area.

While the standard of some of these articles is poor, their removal will not encourage those who have an interest in them to make the necessary improvements to bring them up to an acceptable level.

Deletion would also defeat the objective of the Wiki Schools Project, as the majority of articles it deals with are of this type, and more notable education establishments articles are with other projects, such as Wiki Universities Project.

Proposal: merge with Havant College

edit

Looks like Havant College and South Downs College have merged as organisations, so the articles should probably be merged too. They share a domain name now (https://www.hsdc.ac.uk). I don't know the current procedure for merging articles. BRW (talk) 10:38, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
