So you are saying there is no difference between

The article on the former would probably be much more interesting. And
there are probably lots of people who would be more likely to care
about Sacred Heart school than Eton. Hell, there are millions of
people who've never heard of Eton.
However you must conceed there is a difference. The reasoning for
supporting the existance of an article on Eton need not apply for all
schools.
For all the standard reasons like Wikipedia is not
paper, inclusion of
any single article does almost infinitesimal direct harm.
I can think of quite a few that could do considerable harm.
Sorry, "inclusion of any single article which might otherwise be
deleted for lack of notability"...
So say a "John doe is a pedophile" article (nn 3 google hits) would do no harm?
Vaporize.
Transition to unarticle.
Unarticlize? Dearticlify?
Steve
The "ize" risks starting spelling wars. The first four letters of
dearticlify risk breaking [[WP:TOE]]. Vaporize has a nice 1984 ring to
it.
