[edit] Shepton High School

Delete: Shepton High school is a non-notable high school in Plano, Texas. Unless the school can be found to have significance, such as Allen High School's case following their AfD, I vote for deletion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scm83x (talk • contribs) 04:51, 29 September 2005 (UTC).
Keep, originally I voted to delete this article, as I was the one who did AfD, but apparently someone improved it greatly, even though it really isn't too notable. I will try to dig up the information about all of the heroin/suicides in the 1990s that occured in Plano's west side schools. Also steroids recently.-Scm83x 01:44, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep A nice solid keep decision this time. Osomec 07:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Nomination does not conform with deletion criteria. Keep. --Centauri 08:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Abstain. Barely encyclopedic, but the most jarring is the yellow pages-like contact details. Please remove them. Anyone wanting to contact the school, should make the effort to go to their website. And please start evaluating articles on their individual merits instead of the general category they belong to. Schools can be worth an article if something useful can be said about them, but the rules that apply to people, bands and websites should also apply to schools. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:48, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Please don't assume wikipedia users all have internet access. Kappa 12:35, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, it's very reasonable to assume all viewers of a web page have internet access (any dreams of mass paper distribution are not going to be realized). A wiki-article is to inform the reader, about the school. The location and web address are essential to do that. The phone number is not. Also, people are often viewing an old version of a wiki article, where the number could be expired (or vandalized), and we could be causing some poor person to be getting wrong numbers from around the world, with no way of stopping it. --rob 13:23, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Although the chance that a reader of Wikipedia has internet access is likely now, we cannot assume that will be the case in the future. For example, the German Wikipedia is now in its second pressing on DVD, is one of the best sellers on the Amazon store in Germany [1], and does not require any sort of internet connection at all. Hopefully the same dream can be realized one day for the English language version of Wikipedia. Silensor 17:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. If this were a band, we'd speedy it. If it were a company, it would be a unanimous delete. Schools aren't intrinsically special. - brenneman^(t)(c) 23:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Um, under what CSD could we possibly speedy such an article about a band? Oh, and keep. JYolkowski // talk 00:08, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Damn you for being correct. About CSD, not about keeping the school. ^_^ - brenneman^(t)(c) 01:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Time value disk not. Hipocrite - «Talk» 15:19, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
