• Comment - Please come contribute to ongoing discussion at WP:SCH. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 00:37, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Per Nom. Fallsend 02:40, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Withdraw Delete Vote Per rewrite of article. Still not notable, but quite a bit more fitting. Fallsend 07:51, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, advertising. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:57, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. The article has been completely rewritten. Silensor 06:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. Some academic achievements noted (not sure if top 10 on Stanford 10 list is a geat achievement though). Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:51, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• They were among the top 10, not on number 10. But I still have no idea what a Stanford list is and how prestigious being awarded a Blue Ribbon is. Can someone enlighten me? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:11, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
  • More prestigious than being awarded a Schlitz, not as prestigious as being awarded a Michelob. Actually Kappa has now linked it to Blue Ribbon Schools Program, which "has recognized more than 3,000 schools since its inception." Dpbsmith (talk) 18:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Satisfies my criterion of being more notable than Koga (Pokémon). — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-10 14:27
  • Comment sounds like a good arguement to AfD Koga (Pokémon)...--Isotope23 17:32, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Or merge it into a list, which is something that has been quietly happening with many of the Pokémon character stubs lately. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 00:37, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all schools. Hipocrite - «Talk» 14:46, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all schools below the high-school level. — Haeleth Talk 18:11, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no evidence of encyclopedic significance has been presented other than being a school, which is sufficient for some but not for me. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• I think a national ranking in Stanford 10 Achievement Test[1] could make them borderline notable. I'll pass on this one as undecided. — RJH 18:36, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• keep this please it is a prestigious and notable school Yuckfoo 19:04, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• WEAK Keep, if only because there is no better entity to merge this into and per the developing consensus at WP:SCH.Gateman1997 19:19, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable and someone buy Mgm a Pabst.--Isotope23 21:04, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep I place the burden of proof for notability on the school below the high school level. Academic excellence seems to merit it, although its awards need editorial clarification. Durova 21:57, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep on keeping schools. Christopher Parham (talk) 22:05, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Even primary schools are more notable than plenty of things that are kept with less controversy. CalJW 23:35, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
  • And far less notable than plenty of things that are deleted with little controversy. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:02, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn school. Dottore So 23:52, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Edwardian 00:32, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - Please contribute to ongoing discussion at WP:SCH and help end this fractitious debate. Denni☯ 03:11, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, the school appears to make some claim to notability by being a Blue Ribbon school. Yamaguchi先生 08:08, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, the awards don't appear to be really impressive, but being in the top 10 of the Stanford 10 looks like a notable enough achievement. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:16, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn school --JAranda | watz sup 05:38, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable school. Klonimus 08:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Setting aside for a moment whether a school needs to be particularly notable to be encyclopedic, do you feel that this is a particularly notable school, or that all schools are encyclopedic subjects? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 08:58, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Does it matter? I simply do not understand the crusade by "those who routinely nominate and/or vote to delete school articles" to ferret out whether or not someone feels that a particular school is relatively more important than others or whether the very fact that something is a school endows it with noteworthiness. I am baffled by this because I can't figure out, how in the context of the way Wikipedia works, why it matters. If someone holds the opinion that a school is notable, what bloody difference does it make what his particular subjective criteria are?--Nicodemus75 09:08, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Because I was curious as to his motivation, whether it was merely existence or instead some standard this particular school met. Last I checked, this was supposed to be a discussion, after all. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 10:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep --Vsion 09:15, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as part of the fight [personal attack removed]. The mere fact of something's existence makes it worthy of an article. Kurt Weber 23:43, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete lacks verfiability other than own website... --redstucco 09:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
