School articles should only contain material of encyclopaedic interest, and lists should be kept to a minimum. Remember that Wikipedia is not a directory. School articles should specifically not include:
* Lists of teachers, pupils, administrative staff, school secretaries, etc.
* Lists of subjects that would be taught in any school.
* Details of the school uniform (unless of course the uniform is particularly notable or distinctive).
* Trivia which is only of interest to pupils in the school (such as daily lunch menus, location of the toilets, a room-by-room description of the school facilities).
* Current school events which are only of short-term interest.
* Telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sue Wallace (talk • contribs) 01:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Oppose - 1) You need to declare your conflict of interest, and 2) the move and speedy deletion of the article about the actress appears to me to be an attempt to pre-empt this discussion, and 3) we need reliable sourcing of the name the entity is known by.

text: Also Oppose. It's not clear to me why Italia Conti should be renamed, per WP:COMMONNAME? There might be a case for Italia Conti (educational establishment). Tacyarg (talk) 19:32, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi all, 
The wonderful Tacyarg suggested that this would be the appropriate place to ask a question.
I'm new to the auditing business and plan to review, research and contribute about all UK Drama School pages. 
In looking at Italia Conti and previous contributions that multiple attempts have been made by other users to relocate/change the title of the page from 'Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts' to simply 'Italia Conti'. However these have all been rejected (various reasons). It does seem true that 'Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts' is a defunct name, and after phoning the school today, the confirmed that the business name has changed to simply 'Italia Conti' It seems that one reason is that 'Italia Conti' is the name of the actress who founded the school, her full name is 'Italia Emily Stella Conti'. So the page couldn't move without either changing their title. It seems to me that the most sensible thing to do is to change both pages: 'Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts' to 'Italia Conti' 'Italia Conti' (the actresss) to 'Italia Emily Stella Conti' - however a previous user said that this is in defiance of common name. However there are a number of examples of full names being used, and it also seems that people searching Italia Conti would in the first instance be looking for the school before the person.
Obviously there are good reasons to leave Italia Conti (actress) as she is with that name but in doing so it might create confusion elsewhere. 
I believe someone suggested previously in support of a change "Support per convincing nomination and subsequent comments by the nominator. Since the school has indeed streamlined its name, the main title header of its Wikipedia entry should be likewise streamlined, with the longer name remaining, of course, as a redirect. As for the actress, since the full name was her stage name, WP:NATURAL should prevail. The current redlinks Miss Italia Conti as well as Italia Conti (actress) should inevitably redirect to Italia Emily Stella Conti, while users searching for her as simply "Italia Conti" will find the link to her name in the lede of the school's article. — @ Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:14, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name/Title of Article 

message: I've just reverted some fairly recent large-scale additions of unnecessarily promotional content. I had hoped to rescue some facts from it, but find that some sources do not even remotely support the content. The text  was sourced to this page in Granta, but that says only that Penelope Lively taught there and later wrote about it.
The text  was sourced to this report, which does not mention this school at all. I've looked no further, but this is concerning. , would you care to comment? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:46, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
