[edit] Academic Magnet High School

Non-notable, delete. Neutralitytalk 19:54, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Good grief. Non-notable. I mean, it was established in 1988. Mackensen (talk) 19:57, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable school. --G Rutter 20:06, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Kappa 20:19, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Question. When you vote in this manner, are you indicating a willingness to expand the article yourself? Mackensen (talk) 20:26, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
      • I usually try to expand school articles, and I know other people will too. Kappa 21:21, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, until Wikipedia starts running out of space. -- BD2412 thimkact 22:56, 2005 May 15 (UTC)
  • Keep. As noted by others above fits the criteria for keeping an article on Wikipedia: verifiable & NPOV --AYArktos 00:43, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, New and non-notiable, instutional vanity page. Gmaxwell 00:52, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep high schools. R Calvete 02:08, 2005 May 16 (UTC)
  • Keep schools. --Unfocused 03:40, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I can only imagine that this is part of some kind of campaign to remove articles about schools. Perfectly good stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 05:58, 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.

  • Merge into North Charleston, South Carolina and delete - Skysmith 08:58, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge into North Charleston, South Carolina. --Carnildo 17:58, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Please stop wasting our time with this. Oliver Chettle 19:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • This was an amazing school article; it was so jam-packed with important facts that I read it several times, then e-mailed the URL to everyone I know. Wikipedia is useless without this kind of crucial information; SOMEONE IS TRYING TO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH. Oh, and Delete. Jayjg (talk) 19:28, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Let this stub grow. --Zantastik 19:42, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep all schools are worthy of inclusion in a great encyclopaedia. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 20:49, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and continue to expand. High schools should not have to pass a notability test. --BaronLarf 22:18, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve. Wikipedia would not be improved by the deletion of this article. ~leif ☺ (talk) 00:56, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge where applicable and Delete. Please stop wasting our time--adding this to WP in the first place. Master Thief Garrett 03:41, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm flabbergasted that Schools seem to get VfD'ed while articles in category:Electric power transmission systems are immune from attack. Surely the article for this school is more important than that for Nelson River Bipole? (Don't get me wrong, I'd vote to keep those articles as well; I'm mentioning this only to try to instill a sense of balance in this school deletion craze.) linas 23:53, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Neutrality, have you tried match.com? There are people out there. —RaD Man (talk) 07:46, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
    • We could launch WikiSingles and pair off amongst ourselves... keep the intelligence genes in circulation... Master Thief Garrett 08:51, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, a well-written article about a school. keep all (well-written) high schools. Sensation002 02:13, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
