  • Delete: I can't find anything on him at all. Probably a school master. If he was more than that -- a bishop, a sectarian, a reformer, an artistocrat -- I can't find it using my handy paper references, and I know better than to wade through the 15,000 or so contemporary Harry Rileys who'd show up on Google.

  • A Victorian who founded a school. There were a lot of Victorians who founded schools, why is this one notable? Average Earthman 10:55, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • OK, I completely agree with all of you. I am pretty sure that the articles I have previously created/edited are relevant. It was only after coming across quite a few, in my opinion, short and irrelvant articles about villages and so on, that I wrote Strathallan School, Harry Riley and Bruce K Thompson. Most likely the school article, and almost certainly the other two, should be deleted. Mat334 17:19, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
