- Yup, another non-notable high school! - Lucky 6.9 16:50, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Yup, another chance for me to say that there's a consensus to keep non-notable high schools. I still disagree, but I'd like to be able to stop needing to tell people this. -- Cyrius|✎ 19:12, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Sorry...I thought the final consensus was to delete these. Keeping it certainly doesn't bother me and I'm always in favor of keeping reasonably fleshed-out articles and stubs. I agree as well that these should go, but what the hey. - Lucky 6.9 19:46, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- My reading of Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy/schools and previous VfD discussions is that we're keeping them unless the article's outright garbage. I 'd like the non-notable ones to go away, but I'd rather consistently keep them than delete every fifth one that shows up here. -- Cyrius|✎ 23:56, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Cyrius, I think you're right and I apologize for listing a high school article myself a week or so. But I don't think it's accurate to say that there a consensus to keep such articles. I think it is more accurate to say that there is no consensus to delete, and consensus is required, so such articles are never deleted, so there's no point listing them on VfD. My reading is that opinion is actually very close to evenly divided. The same observation applies to articles of local interest generally. I don't really know what effect it has on Wikipedia to have factual but uninteresting articles on 0.001% of all high schools, 0.00001% of all streets, 0.01% of all credit unions, etc. but obviously there is no consensus to delete them. BTW this article is slightly better than some other recent articles we've gotten on high schools. Dpbsmith 01:16, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Which is why I said it was my reading. At any rate, I'd prefer we were consistent in our handling of them. Either keep them, or decide to go on a deletion spree to get them all. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:31, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Keep; as a high school, it is important to a large number of people. Everyking 21:43, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Keep - disk is cheap. - TB 23:50, Jun 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Disk space may be cheap for one school, but when you have four bazillion high schools all wanting their couplea hundred k, it adds up. The bigger problem is that we're going to need disambig pages that look more like the New York phone directory. "St Joe's High School. For what country, please?..." (You may also not remember what life used to be like when server access required you to take a number because things were so overcrowded.) Denni☯ 17:20, 2004 Jun 17 (UTC)
- Thank goodness for progress :) - TB 11:33, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)
