Non-notable. Bart133 20:00, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Schaumburg, Illinois Riffsyphon1024 20:23, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete If the sum totol of articles about schools keeps popping up as being similar information as "Keller Junior High School is just that, a Junior High School. It is located in Schaumburg Illinois.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keller_Junior_High_School" then it is no wonder so many people want to automatically delete a page because it is a school.Weaponofmassinstruction 00:52, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Being a stub isn't a reason for deletion, and neither is being a school. Philip 10:32, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --JuntungWu 12:33, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not an article, no evidence of notability. Jr high schools are not inherently notable. Wile E. Heresiarch 13:08, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nothing to merge. Better a redlink than this complete waste of time. Average Earthman 19:02, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. What Wile said. Plus, before 18 school attendance is compulsory in many countries--articles for schools are like articles for [[automobile insurance in Idaho]] or [[driver's licenses in Western Australia]]; sure it impacts thousands of people's lives, but not in a uniquely significant way. Most schools are cookie-cutter copies of thousands of others (there are 16,054 public middle/junior high schools in the US alone). Second choice is merge/redir to Schaumburg, Illinois, although that will probably be one of the smallest merges in Wikipedia history. Niteowlneils 19:06, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Actually, if redired, Community Consolidated School District 54 would be a better target, as it has more info on the school. Niteowlneils 21:25, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Another inherently notable public institution.--Centauri 22:02, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. People have kids; they send them to school to be educated. Many aspects of this phenomenon are documented at length in the Wikipedia. School nostalgia and vanity to the contrary notwithstanding, the school that you went to is insignificant; the school I went to is insignificant; the school that practically everybody went to is insignifcant. --BM 22:28, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It would be legit if someone from the area added more schools to a list within Schaumburg, wouldn't it? Riffsyphon1024 07:23, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Schools are inherently non-notable. --Carnildo 07:26, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Can I have an "auto-delete" vote for articles like this? :) — Stevie is the man! ^{Talk | Contrib} 08:56, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Schaumburg, Illinois and delete - Skysmith 09:53, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Xezbeth 10:31, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for organic growth and expansion. GRider\^talk 18:11, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Like someone already said, junior high schools are not inherently notable, except for specific examples. sugarfish 18:14, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as poorly written newbie experiment and not because it's about a school. This is nearly useless as it stands, even for alumni or anyone researching the subject, remote a possibility as that might be IMO. For the record, I don't vote de facto either for or against school articles. I do, however, vote against pure nothingness like this. - Lucky 6.9 19:25, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Why hasn't been speedided? --Neigel von Teighen 19:28, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability not established. Just because someone is too lazy to write more than one uninformative sentence does not mean we should indulge that person by keeping their contribution of dubious worth. Even if a good article is just waiting to be written on this very school, it will be written by an interested party whether this worthless sentence is here or not. Indrian 00:27, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Indrian, can I quote you and everyone else here who thinks well-written articles on schools should be kept and not VfD'd into redlinks? I have a few lined up as long-term projects, noably those related to #Manitoba_School_Divisions Weaponofmassinstruction 06:38, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect what little there is here to offer. —RaD Man (talk) 10:11, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This article is about 2 schools. I've improved the article now and established the notability of the schools. --Andylkl 11:22, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A 2002 teacher award and a third-place competition finish? This is notability? --Calton 11:55, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep One shouldn't have a reason to keep, the page, but a reason for deletion must be present... Beta_M ^talk, |^contrib (Ë-Mail)
• Delete. {{school identical to tens of thousands of others|name=Keller Junior High|location=Schaumburg, Illinois|notableperson=Helen Keller|meaninglessaward=Golden Apple}}. —Korath (Talk) 04:14, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
