[edit] St. Stephens High School

Delete. Not notable. There are a million St. Stephen's schools out there. --Wtshymanski 04:04, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, BEEFSTEW score of 0. (This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution.) —Korath (Talk) 00:57, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep A School of Distinction! In the Top 10% of all High Schools in NC!!. Klonimus 04:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as yet another "bored student" nanostub. This says nothing. - Lucky 6.9 05:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: The website is just this side of useless. No history; no nothing. Klonimus' comment got me to thinking about expanding this but there isn't anything to latch onto. Heck, they haven't updated the site since the beginning of the school year. For example, the "upcoming" 1954 reunion is still scheduled...for last October. - Lucky 6.9 05:40, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A BEEFSTEW score of 0 is impressive. Ambi 05:44, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiability established. Article subject is not nonsense, vanity or original research. --Centauri 05:55, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Article fails to establish notability. --Carnildo 06:04, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. All schools are notable enough for a truly great encyclopaedia. What Centauri said, too. —RaD Man (talk) 06:05, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I already lined out the disruptive {{vfd}} include which RadMan put on this page, only to have him reinstate it with a nasty note on my talk page. Perhaps others can help me convince him of the error of his ways. This is vandalism. —Wahoofive | Talk 01:55, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Wrong. Vandalism is when you edit votes which are not your own. I also notice your account was created just one month ago. Welcome. —RaD Man (talk) 02:03, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not noteable. Vegaswikian 06:25, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not even the school's own website establishes notability. It claims the school is in the top 10% of schools in North Carolina, but never provides verification for that claim or even a definition of what criteria were used. No history of the school is given; no indication of whether the school is public or private, and if private, whether secular or religious, and if religious (as the school's name implies), what denomination it belongs to. In short, no encyclopedic information is available about this school, meaning that this substub has no hope of becoming encyclopedic. --Angr/_comhrá 07:45, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this is way below the bar. Concur with Angr's comments. Radiant_* 07:57, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. Megan1967 08:40, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• delete, horrible. Dunc|☺ 08:43, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Make a mention in an article about the locality and delete - Skysmith 09:47, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. --Bucephalus talk to me 11:32, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Not notable The JPS 18:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. When this school is mentioned in the same sentence with Choate, Andover, and Philips Exeter then it can come back. --Coolcaesar 19:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete another "st.blabla high school". Grue 20:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• merge and redirect probably Yuckfoo 01:35, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Particularly egregious example of a poorly written article about a non-notable school. Jayjg ^(talk) 03:04, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Yet another article on a non-notable topic. Wikipedia is not a junkyard. Indrian 04:02, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: school vanity, not notable. Jonathunder 03:45, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
• Keep There is a place on Wikipedia for schools. --ShaunMacPherson 03:50, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete ... but not every school on the planet. -- Dcfleck 13:18, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
