[edit] Lakeshore Catholic High School

Non-notable? Modular. (Talk.) 18:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

No, notable is not part of deletion criteria. For great justice. 18:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Willing to reconsider if someone posts an actual article here though.--Isotope23 19:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Add Strong to that delete. "Article" as added is crufty fanmongering, copyvio images, and unencyclopdic content. Reverted to a halfway decent stub a few times, but then quit. Authors are making a strong case for deletion.--Isotope23 20:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Removing opposition; and hopefully someone monitors the article to keep it about the school. CyclePat's version is a good start.--Isotope23 20:16, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The article is uninformative, and serves only to praise the school's sports team. Same with Isotope--if someone posts a good article about the school, that would be fine. Opblaaskrokodil 20:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I tried to clean it up... but original author kept reverting me.--Isotope23 20:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

• Strong KeepI am truly disappointed in this nomination. This is a nomination to pick on the newcomer. Really we have school articles (thousands). By deleting this article you are inherently trying to make a precedence to delete 350 some articles that exist on schools (and that's just in Canada. Get real, get a pro-active wikilife! Become a creationist and start adding to article instead of looking to destroy them. Not only that but I as per WP:DP there are no real valid reasons to delete this. I strongly consider this nomination to be wrong. I also believe that as nominator you should retract this afd and furthermore I suggest that you the nominator add {{Category:Canadian school stubs}} to the bottom of the article so next time you'll remember that school do exist!!! It looks like this... (stub categorisation removed to stop afd from looking like a canadian stub article - BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard) --CyclePat 23:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

PS - the templates really {{Canada-school-stub}}. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 00:41, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The article exists as a vanity article for the school's football team only. Isotope tried to improve the article. We both said that you can't dedicate an article to a football team. The person who posted this article continually reverts our edit deleting this line "This entry is dedicated to the 2003/2004 Lakeshore Catholic Gators Sr.football team, the #1 ranked football team in the country!"

Ignoring the notability question for a moment, lets assume this gets kept because those interested in school inclusion are rendering opinions. I simply want to issue a challenge to anyone voting Keep to monitor this article and protect it from it's creator, who basically created it as a vehicle to publicize the Lakeshore Catholic Highschool 2003/2004 football team. I've tried to edit the content so it's at least a real school stub... but I can't sit here and engage in an endless edit war with the creator by myself.--Isotope23 00:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, this is a content dispute, folks - handle the revision war in the normal way. The subject of the article could easily meet WP:SCHOOL with about two minutes work or revision; agreed that it is complete trash in its current incarnation. Kuru ^talk 23:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • • If I was an administrator I would investigate these aligations of "vandalism" however, that sounds like it may turn out to be something of an edit war or even a violation of 3RR. I would suggest contacting WP:RFI and following those step. Once the edit war is complete then perhaps you may need an advocate (such as myself). Removing content from a page or blanking can be vandalism as per WP:VAN. I wouldn't hesitate to report it if that is what is happening. Such incidents can be reported at your local wiki administrator that is willing to help out or by repporting it to RFI. Good luck soldier. --CyclePat 03:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
      • As I have next to no interest in school articles, I tagged it for copyedit and removed the images that have no copyright info for the last time... at this point it is up to you school inclusionists to keep it from devolving back into a fansite.--Isotope23 13:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep this appears to be real. For great justice. 00:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as it is a real and verifiable school, but remove the American football images. Carioca 00:13, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep: I'm highly skeptical of the article satisfying notability, but give it a chance, it's less than 12 hours old! Peter Grey 02:55, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Answer to the nominators question is no, it isn't nn. We have thousands of high school articles and will have thousands more.CalJW 05:20, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, school, boilerplate dispute. 22:13, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

alrite, its more of a encyclopedia post now no?

• Strong delete as written, article is non notable. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 19:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notable topic. No reason given for deletion. --Rob 04:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Nomination is malformed and thus should be withdrawn. Also note that out of the past 430 school articles posted for deletion, only 24 were deleted. The ones which were deleted were either non-verifiable, nonsense, or a confirmed hoax. The number of articles deleted about secondary schools which contained verifiable sources? Zero.

• Keep. Schools are expandable. Samaritan 07:41, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
