• Keep, notable. Kappa 23:38, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep schools. Inherently notable. R Calvete 01:38, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
• Delete, article should indicate notability. Gazpacho 02:20, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete how can saying nothing make a school notable? Vegaswikian 02:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Because, apparently, it has the word "school" in its title. --Calton | Talk 04:05, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Lupin 02:48, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Expand to include species of principal's dog, list of teachers' lunchtime preferences, colours the walls are painted, number of parking spots in the parking lot, names of members of the chess club. Then Delete. Jayjg ^(talk) 02:54, 17 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. Oh I nearly died laughing at the Powder Puff cheerleaders! movie (46.3MB, worth it). Ultra cool kids. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable - SimonP 04:02, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• A school in NORTHERN California? I love the level of precision here. Delete. --Calton | Talk 04:05, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The article has been around for over 3 months, and it's all of a single sentence long. Quale 04:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. For a while ... DS1953 04:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. Megan1967 04:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV. First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge. --Unfocused 04:55, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for the usual reasons. Kelly Martin 05:15, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable.. Given it's legnth it should have been speedyed Gmaxwell 05:30, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with the local geographical article, if any of the keepists can be bothered to work out where it is rather than just saying keep. If you're not willing to improve the article, why is it that worth keeping? Average Earthman 09:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I second that. Merge - Skysmith 09:54, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Of course keep voters are willing to improve the article, but what there should be is some guidelines for the original contributor, and a guarantee that work would not be wasted. Kappa 09:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
    • From Wikipedia:Deletion policy: "The page will also remain if it has been improved enough since the initial listing that the reason for the listing no longer applies. This requires a reason to be given initially when requesting that a page be deleted." Oh, and merge into Redding, California or wherever's best. JYolkowski // talk 20:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge anywhere applicable, then Delete. Master Thief Garrett 11:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, nn. Radiant_* 14:35, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete While I'm tempted to vote keep because they're 'ultra cool', I still don't see any basis for inclusion. --InShaneee 14:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 15:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 22:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep All schools are notable by nature. Verifiable and NPOV. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, ergo it is encyclopaedic. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 13:22, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. (1)We don't even have a policy about schools yet, (2)schools are important and should be included, (3)this massive deletion campaign is terrible. Introduce a limit of 3 vfd nominations per day. --Zantastik 22:32, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
