[edit] Cascade High School

• Keep Several high school articles are present in this encyclopedia with much less information. Molotov (talk) 18:25, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Deleting this article wouldn't be really fair as there are many more High School-related articles out there in Wikipedia see Category:High_schools for more information. --SoothingR 18:27, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Molotov and SoothingR. CLW 18:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: Just my opinion, of course, but I don't mind individual articles on high schools. Each high school has a broad and long-lasting influence on communities and alumni. I'd draw the line, though, at Jr. Highs or elementary schools. — Cory Maylett 18:38, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• comment- looks like a copyvio to me --Kennyisinvisible 19:22, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article did look as if it were possibly copied from somewhere else so I have rewritten it to match what the other high school articles here look like. In any case there is a lot of good material in this article and major league ball player Grady Sizemore is a notable graduate of this school. Silensor 19:25, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete schoolcruft, spam, dull, crap. Dunc|☺ 20:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep there is huge precedent for high schools. ♥purplefeltangel ^(talk) ♥ ^{(Contributions)} 20:26, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I think we have determined that at the very least, high schools are notable. Stop putting them up for deletion. -GregAsche (talk) 21:10, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm voting out of principle, here, even though I imagine it won't make a blind bit of difference. I suspect Wikipedia's signal/noise ratio is declining, and articles like this contribute to that. But I can also see that there are a lot of no doubt well-meaning people who think that schools should be in Wikipedia. Sadly, after schools it will be courthouses, and then malls ( both already here, I'm ashamed to say ), and then local churches and temples, and graveyards, and, no doubt, post offices. I've already voted to delete a street and a university student drop-in centre today, but I can see the way the tide is running. Anyone interested in looking into the possibility of a more severely edited version of Wikipedia ? WMMartin 21:34, 20 September 2005 (UTC) {/rant}
  • There's nothing to stop you creating a fork yourself, but it would be a failure like the others. CalJW 23:57, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • How would that work? Some people seem to think that random journalists and Simpsons episodes belong in a narrow version of wikipedia, IMO that would defeat the whole purpose. Kappa 07:41, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep IT is a high school if it was an elementary school I will Vote Delete but its not --Aranda56 23:04, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Please get over this issue and do something useful instead. The number of school articles is well into four figures and is rising every day. CalJW 23:55, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree high schools shouldn't be nominated for deletion; the current consensus or lack thereof is clear. As long as someone nominated this, though, I'm going to vote my conscience. High Schoools are no more notable than apartment buildings. Bunchofgrapes 23:58, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable G Clark 00:00, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all high schools should be kept. DannyZz 00:06, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per User:Idont havaname/Wikiphilosophies#Schools. --Idont Havaname 02:09, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, an important school with a large enrollment. --Vsion 04:40, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, oops, another school.--Nicodemus75 06:11, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non notable and a school.Gateman1997 23:24, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Worthwhile article. --rob 05:27, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete cos only notable schools are suitable for articles --redstucco 08:39, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete aside from Grady Sizemore, this school appears to be non-notable. Another one or two notable alumni, or some other notable feature and I would vote to keep, but one notable alum is insuficient ("George Washington slept here"). Cmadler 19:30, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• keep please one notable alumni or none this school is still encyclopedic so there is no need to erase this Yuckfoo 01:56, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep to allow for expansion and clean-up, all High Schools are notable and should be kept. PRueda29 02:52, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep a high school. -- DS1953 01:23, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep ··gracefool |☺ 18:39, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Not encyclopedic. This is not noteworthy. Nothing important to note here. Not a particulary impressive high school. What next? A list of things for sale at the local 7-11? This is not knowledge. This does not belong here. 203.166.5.68 21:13, 25 September 2005 (UTC)Billy
