Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in Romania
This is hopeless cruft, and, outside the few notable articles on high schools and national colleges, the links added to maintin it are simply inane: the one under Dâmboviţa County leads to, you guessed it, Dâmboviţa County. Who can this possibly benefit? If we really need a list of high schools (which is what the effectively is and will remain), then create a '''List of high schools in Romania''', mention all such institutions but link only the notable ones (or, hell, link them all). But to imagine that the article could, should and will list all schools in Romania is to pretend that wikipedia is a bureaucratic institution, and shows much misunderstanding of how the educational system works in Romania (for example, the fact that many primary schools and gymnasiums are simply named with a number, and that most of them are located in places that are themselves just barely above the notability limit). Just specifying somewhere in the article on one county/city that it locates x number of schools would be more than enough for the relevant part of that information, and it could actually be potentially sourced. Now, personally, I'd endorse any measure to reduce the hybris of having such lists on a number of other countries, or even all of them (per ), but: a) I don't want to spend eternity arguing with passionate supporters of the system in place; b) whatever the case for schools in Western countries, Romanian schools clearly rank ''even lower'' as notability goes. To "save" such cruft "on principle", because not doing so would threaten other lists, is an argument from ignorance
