Non-notable high school. God help us. Rick K 22:54, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)

Delete, no evidence of notability provided. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:30, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
So it's old. Whee. Delete unless REAL notability is provided. I sense a really ugly trend otherwise. - Lucky 6.9 23:32, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Delete. Non-notable school. — Gwalla | Talk 00:50, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Meets Everyking's apparent criteria, though. Not mine. Definitely not notable. Let's nip these old, big, non-notable school substub articles - and the trend in them appearing on Wikipedia - in the bud, as good ol' Barney Fife used to say on The Andy Griffith Show, eh?

Delete. This article serves no purpose, as nothing in it is notable. Average Earthman 08:56, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Does not meet my high standards for school notability. --Improv 16:55, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- RE: High school notability - No clear consensus has been established on the "high standards" threshold - which means it tends to fluctuate from week to week, depending upon who bothers to vote. - [[User:Davodd|DAVODD «TALK»]] 22:01, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)
- This article couldn't possibly meet any standards of notability. It is a little surprising some hardcore retentionists haven't voted yet (ie, "It's a real school so...") Delete. Cool Hand Luke 02:19, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  - Now look what you've done! You've summoned —siro χ o... ;) I wonder if I classify as a hardcore deletist.. I vote delete more often than I vote keep, but it's not *that* unbalanced, I don't think.. --Improv 19:33, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Keep, I can't justify keeping some non-notable high schools while deleting others. —siroχo 04:44, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
- Actually, I'm beginning to think that the best rationale for deleting stubby articles about non-notable things is that people use their existence as a justification for including yet more. I've been brooding about the question of just how an article like this hurts Wikipedia, and the conclusion I'm coming to is that they are a bad influence on contributors. We have an article about Fruitdale, South Dakota, population 62; ergo I should have an absolute right to include a factual article about Norwood Cooperative Nursery School because it has 72 students; or the Coastline Show Chorus (92 women, count 'em, 92). (Note: last sentence was ironic). [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 14:05, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Non-notable school. Other non-notable schools should be deleted also. jni 07:57, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete: Non-notable school. It has walls, teachers, administration, and students, just like a hundred thousand other high schools. Geogre 17:06, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Consensus was clearly to delete. So why is it still here? — Gwalla | Talk 19:42, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks Gwalla, I had the same question. I'll delete it. Rick K 22:54, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

I question whether there is consensus to delete any high school. Deleting an article after it has been kept is also not proper procedure. - SimonP 01:32, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)

So you're saying that if somebody keeps the article out of process it's impossible to follow process to delete it? Please review the votes above. Consensus was to delete. UNdeletion was done out of process and will be reverted. Rick K 06:11, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
