Talk:Hilton College (South Africa)

message: I have removed excessive detail that is not notable and unencyclopaedic. This is not an advert for the school, nor a prospectus. The school history also needs to be streamlined, but I do not have the knowledge on what is notable and what is not. Feel free to add notable information about the schools academics such as subjects offered and notable achievements, as well as sports and cultural activities - this should not be done for every activity though, only when an achievement justifies mention in the main body of sport. Notable details of clubs can be readded as per Wikiproject guidelines, but please consider what details are encyclopaedic. - Jacobmacmillan (talk) 12:46, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

message: I've removed the notability tag from this article. Hilton is (and has been for years) the most exclusive and expensive school in South Africa, so the tag is clearly inappropriate. Courtesy ping  --DSQ  (talk) 17:41, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. I see that you added a few sources. Which seems adequate. While I think they could still be improved, it's not enough to warrant the notability tag anymore. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:46, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh huh. Re: your comment before the swift reversion, → diff, I am aware of what constitutes notability - but what checks did you do before you tagged this specific article? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a "keep at all costs" type of person but, to be frank, it's not dissimilar to querying the notability of Winchester College or Eton. :)  --DSQ  (talk) 09:02, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Honestly, I don't really remember. I'm sure I had a good reason at the time though. Although, I've had a pretty chaotic couple of days on Wikipedia. So, who knows. No harm, no foul right? --Adamant1 (talk) 09:09, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll try and improve it, I just have to find the time to do it properly! No harm, no foul. :)   --DSQ  (talk) 10:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
