John Foster Comprehensive School

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is a complete farce. It has no relevance to the Waterloo Road programme to cite its own article and is factually incorrect. Harleyamber (talk) 22:44, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As you have said Harleyamber, the article is totally wrong. On Waterloo Road, the school has been merged so John Fosters does not exist. It certainly does not require its own article and just by looking at the article says it all - the information in it is a joke. Above anything it implies that all the Waterloo Road teachers now teach at John Fosters. D.E.L.E.T.E! 92.20.222.142 (talk) 22:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Without any references to verify it we can't tell if it is correct or not. It is not linked from the Waterloo Road article or it's template. Looking at that template, I was surprised to see so many articles for a pretty minor soap and, while none of those strike me as egregious, this one is a step too far. If this school was only introduced to the plot in order to get merged then there can't be much to say about it. It doesn't need an article. There are unlikely to be any reliable sources to reference it from. Three Google hits and two of them are us! --DanielRigal (talk) 23:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep unless there is somewhere to merge to, as a major setting in an extremely important series. DGG ( talk ) 01:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- You have got to be joking DGG - a major setting??? John Fosters school was never seen, its just been merged with Waterloo Road. The article is utterly false too. It suggests that John Fosters is still open and that the entire teaching staff of Waterloo Road work there, which they dont. There is already a mention of it in the Waterloo Road Comprehensive article and that should be enough - certainly not an entire article that has no fact mentioned within.

Delete I agree tjhat the article should be deleted. The Waterloo Road Comp article already mentions the merge with John Fosters, it does not require a whole article to itself. And on reading the it all I can say is - what? John Fosters was also a private school, not a comp Newtree21 (talk) 17:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Waterloo Road (TV series), assuming that there's something here that isn't already there. Mandsford (talk) 19:21, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There is already a section on the merge of John Fosters in the Waterloo Road Comprehensive article and a mention of it in the Series 5 section of Waterloo Road (TV series). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harleyamber (talk • contribs) 21:57, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
