Talk:King's College School, Cambridge

Article balance needs to be fixed

For a school article this reads very unbalanced. Around 75% of the article is about events in 2009/10 relating to the ISI failure, to my eyes this seems a problem against Criticism or Neutral point of view. I propose that the critical sections are trimmed back to be a fraction of the article in proportion to the school's history rather than dominated by these events. --Fæ (talk) 21:35, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

The article's a disgrace: it's obviously written by someone with an axe to grind. There's no attempt to follow guidance on verifiability or neutral point of view. I'm reducing it. There's far too much material that obviously presents one side's opinions; there are references to letters and meetings that aren't in the sources and are impossible to verify:

1. "a deliberately and highly misleading letter" WP:NPOV, WP:BLP

2. "In fact, over three pages of failings were found" WP:SYNTH

3. "through [sic] the ISI has always had the right to make unannounced inspections at schools where there is good reason for concern. Interestingly..." WP:NPOV, WP:VERIFY, WP:SYNTH, WP:NOR

4. "Some parents are now asking why the headmaster is still employed by the school, having caused it so much damage and disgrace." WP:NPOV WP:VERIFY, WP:NOR

5. "The Provost has since apologised to the parents of one family for the suffering caused to them by the headmaster and has confirmed that their treatment at the hands of the headmaster was wrong and should not have happened." WP:VERIFY, WP:NOR

I have removed the section about the 2009 inspection as I don't believe it was encyclopedic. I could fill the article with similar anecdotes from previous decades going back to the 1870s but that would be the purpose of a history book not an encyclopedia article. If anyone believes the section I have removed is still relevant to the school today then please indicate that here. Note that none of the articles cited in the removed section could be located.--Pontificalibus (talk) 16:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
