[edit] Venice High School (Florida)

Delete Extremely Weak Keep - Just a normal high school; it doesn't seem to warrant an encyclopedia article to me. Starwiz 20:47, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems as though a concensus has already been formed on this topic; I apologize for not doing enough reading before I nommed this article. Can I nom it for major cleanup now?  :) Starwiz 01:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Keep as non-notable corporation. — Adrian Lamo ·· 22:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, but will never be deleted as a group of sad, friendless, lonely geeks with no liveslosers will now magically arrive and suspiciously all start voting keep, almost like theyve arranged an organized campaign or something... but shurely no-one would go against the spirit of wikipedia like that would they? erm.....

  It would be appreciated if you would kindly take it upon yourself to remove your personal attacks and insults. Silensor 21:23, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Not one verifiable high school has been deleted from Wikipedia in over a year, get over it. Silensor 21:23, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: All things change, User:Silensor. including my vote ... :x — Adrian Lamo ·· 22:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. The article is verifiable. Carioca 22:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Articles aren't kept because they're verifiable, but this article should be kept because it asserts some degree of notability. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 23:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The only notability requiered by Wiki/Schools is verifiability as I read it. Jcuk 23:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
  • You are correct. There is, however, no clean-cut consensus to Wikipedia:Schools itself. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 01:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, not big on pages for high schools, but the criteria is pretty minimal. Kuru ^talk 01:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Clear past precedence on high schools, and this article is more than a substub. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as per consensus at WP:SCH. Although note that WP:SCH does inherently imply that verifiability confers notability, which is not the case. Proto||type 12:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: For the record, my change of vote doesn't imply a change in my take on WP:SCH. This individual school is notable, most are not. — Adrian Lamo ·· 02:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as this school is notable; nn schools (WP:SCH notwithstanding) really shouldn't be kept unless we want to jump to the second million articles overnight, and then the lists of schools and categories of schools etc. Carlossuarez46 18:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This particular school makes a fair claim to notability. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 12:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
