G'day Con,
Note that notability is not the policy. Verifiability is. Even if a school is notable "by default", as some claim, if there is no verifiable information about it, there should be no article.
Fuck policy. Get into the habit of saying "notability is not the basis for my argument", rather than quoting policy as if it's the Last Word.
You're right either way, but by following the Sensible Route instead of the Process Wonk Route you get the prestigious Fuddlemark Thumbs Up Of Approval, and that's worth its weight in gold!

Or start using the word 'process' for the variety of policy that's encrusted process. Verifiability is a hard policy of en:wp and one of the very few to be kept in your head while working.

This is important also, of course.
