[edit] George S. Parker High School

Non-notable high school of either 1600 or 2000 students—depending on which of the conflicting figures in the article you believe. Delete. Neutrality^talk 21:22, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Bogus (non-policy) mass nomination, clogging the VFD system - notability is still not a listed deletion criterion. And, you know, there are lots of people following after your mass-nominations trying to expand the stubs - have you considered it may be a more helpful move that doesn't piss people off to list these somewhere other than VFD first, so that those people actually have a chance to expand them? Surely the integrity of Wikipedia doesn't need you to swoop in there before they possibly can - David Gerard 23:23, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Tend to concur with David Gerard. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:18, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand when I have time to stop voting. Agree with David Gerard. This is ridiculous. I expected more from a moderator; perhaps a reply to questions on his talk page requesting a compromise rather than 15 more schools thrown on the VfD page. --BaronLarf 00:20, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as with others. Christopher Parham 00:30, 2005 May 18 (UTC)

• Keep - and echo irritated comments above. Lupin 13:46, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - agree with David Gerard. WP has articles on hydro dams, electric power stations, and entire category of 20 or 30 articles on electric power cables going underneath rivers. Never mind articles on every album issued by 3rd rate rock-n-roll bands and crappy television series. Why single out grade schools and high schools for deletion? These are the pillars of our society, these are the institutions raising our young, these are things we should hold up and be proud of and celebrate, far beyond any crap TV show and first-person-shooter computer game.linas 14:07, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Verifiable and NPOV. Schools are an excellent entry point for new Wikipedians. --Unfocused 14:28, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Janesville, Wisconsin per Kelly Martin's excellent school article policy. Master Thief Garrett 03:15, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, agree with David Gerard. —RaD Man (talk) 07:53, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Nominator seems confused as to whether schools should be deleted for having few pupils or many. CalJW 18:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete = not notable. NoAccount 02:58, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. (1)We don't even have a policy about schools yet, (2)schools are important and should be included, (3)this massive deletion campaign goes against the spirit of wikipedia. Introduce a limit of 3 vfd nominations per day. Project Schoolwatch. --Zantastik 22:26, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
