Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Waterhouse (headmaster)
I have seen no precedent of inherent notability for high school principals or headmaster, even if they were the first one for a school. There is nothing wrong with people nominating articles about headmasters for deletion, and there is nothing " highly disruptive" about doing so. The refs neither prove |notability nor satisfy . Ref 1 is not about the subject of this article and only says "John Waterhouse deputized for him at Sydney" Ref 2 and Ref 3 are about his son. Notability does not percolate back to ancestors. Ref 2 makes bare passing reference of John Waterhouse. Ref 3 has some brief info about John Waterhouse, which it says came from bio notes "contributed by the Waterhouse family" indicating a lack of reliable and independent information. As a bio article, it is unencyclopedic, lacking even his years of birth and death.  Reliable and independent secondary sources are needed to support the several assertions  made here in support of his notability. I strongly object to making Wikipedia a directory of everyone who served as high school principals, unless their contributions were such as to satisfy
