[edit] Asheville School

Non-notable boarding school with less than 250 students. Delete. Neutrality^talk 20:20, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete and merge info to Asheville, North Carolina. School articles should indicate school's notability. The alumni names don't show up on Google. Gazpacho 20:40, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable and NPOV (now) DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:09, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Excellent topic for an article. They're called stubs for a reason. "Wikipedia is a Web-based, free-content encyclopedia that is written collaboratively by volunteers. You can't expect the first person to write a whole encyclopedic article every time!--Unfocused 03:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm beginning to think along the lines of WP:POINT here, seeing all these deletion listings that, for the most part, obviously have no chance of succeeding, unless by wearing out VfD participants. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 06:14, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world.

• Keep This school passes the Cod Liver Oil test. Klonimus 20:41, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, it's both verifiable and written in an NPOV way. Notability isn't a deletion criterion. James F. (talk) 12:54, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, vanity. Radiant_* 13:46, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
