Just for reference, we're looking at a worst case roughly 124,000 school stubs ( http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d04/tables/dt04_085.asp ) for the US.
Yes, and the US accounts for ~5% of the world population. Assuming that there are 2x as many schools per capita as in the US, that means over a million stubs.
I understand those that disagree, but I think the categorical include
pseudopolicy for schools makes sense. They're of immense interest to most parents, the school system has 72 million odd Americans in it, and categorical inclusionism here is not in any way throwing Wikipedia into disrepute or threatening our server load or diskspace.
If you think about it, families are of interest to most parents. There are a couple hundred million Americans in families, a few billion people globally. Thus, all families are notable. We need articles on every family in the world.
