Assessment
editThe article has been written in good faith, but has been tagged for lack of required information and formal style. This is in no way intended as a criticism, and should be regarded as flagging the article to attract the attention of editors who may be able to contribute to it. major problemsare the complete lack of citations or information soources, a lack of structure of elements in logical order, and a tone that is not quite formal enough for an encyclopedia. Worcestershire Wikipedians may be able to help improve this article.--Kudpung (talk) 19:35, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
This article is now written in the past tense, due to the merger to form Malvern St James. Is any one watching this article familiar with the present set up of the amlagamnated school? If so, could this article be edited and converted into one on the existing school, with an approprriate rename? This can only be done by a loggedin user. If that is a problem, please amend the article and then leave a note on my talk page. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:00, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
I've started an overhaul of the article and will probably suggest renaming it Malvern St james, with a redirect from Malvern Girls' College.--Kudpung (talk) 19:08, 3 January 2010 (UTC)--Kudpung (talk) 19:08, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Move
editMalvern Girls' College → Malvern St James — This article was created by an anonymous user in 2004. Since then it has not received a single reference. Revision statistics show that in the following six years there have been very few edits and little improvement of the article. In the meantime the school has merged with St James School to be renamed Malvern St James.
It has been suggested that the article be moved to Malvern St James, and rewritten with a focus on the new school, while retaining some elements of history.. Kudpung (talk) 12:47, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
A move will create a redirect from MGC to the new page.
Please venture your opinion below while respecting the conventions and format of a Wikipedia debate. If after seven days no consensus is reached, a Wikipedia user who is a member of both the Shchools project and the Worcestershire project will make the move.
- Support move: There appears to be little interest, even from alumnae to maintain the article, so a move is the best solution in the interests of keeping the encyclopedia up to date.--Kudpung (talk) 12:35, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support: Article name should follow current school name. The redirect will make sure people find the right place. Kind of sad not to have more interest from the school itself - you would think it would make a nice project for someone. GyroMagician (talk) 13:02, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support: For the reasons above. LilHelpa (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support: Sounds like a good idea. Nev1 (talk) 01:15, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support in principle, but the article is likely to need considerable refashioning to fit its new role. I doubnt that we need a sepaarate article on the former (pre-merger) school, unless it is purely historical. However I do not know enough of any of the predecessors to comment in detail. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:21, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Comment;I have a new article ready to go (See below) when the seven days has expired. It will obviously need more work, but the idea will have been fulfilled.--Kudpung (talk) 00:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- Consensus reached : Move (unanimous). This article has been renamed/moved per the above move request according to WP:RMCI. --Kudpung (talk) 19:56, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
