[edit] Alice Smith International School

NN-school, de-PRODed by the usual school saving crowd. delete DesertSky85451 18:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Strong, speedy who gives a **** DesertSky, I respect your efforts. Normally, since this school's article doesn't assert any notability, I'd !vote for deletion. But what's the point? Why even try? There are so many people who have nothing to do on WP besides check out the schoolwatch and then !vote keep, because somehow, all schools are inherently notable when no other corporation, public institution, or group of people gets that same classification. Every inclusionist will point to the keep arguments from the last- failed- WP:SCHOOLS proposal, or point to how this school meets the idiotic criteria of the current WP:SCHOOLS proposal. At least some editors (TruthbringerToronto comes to mind) actually attempt to improve articles and establish notability than just vote blindly. (Notice how there was no exclamation point before "vote" there? That's because a lot of their !votes are pure votes.) So, you know what? At this point, I'll admit defeat. I have incredible respect for the school system, but all of them are not notable; with that said, if this group of people are so adamant about their schools, let 'em have their schools. -- Kicking222 19:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Secondary school, ergo notable. Case particularly strengthened for me by the above remark. For your information, I have many better things to do on WP than continually vote "Keep" on AfDs on secondary schools (and I do not "check out the schoolwatch"), but as long as people continue to propose them for deletion I shall continue voting. Why is it that people who oppose the inclusion of a particular class of articles so often feel the need to make snide remarks aimed at people who disagree with them (also epitomised by the "usual school saving crowd" remark of the proposer)? If you had so much support in your view then presumably you would be able to muster a little more support in AfDs; since you don't, you obviously feel the need to vent your frustrations on those of us who disagree with you. Sad really. -- Necrothesp 21:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep but only because I have nothing better to do.... Actually, I do believe schools are inherently notable and the articles can be useful to readers. This is the second time I've voted to keep a school, but I'll probably make a habit of it.Noroton 01:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Yet another AfD from the usual school deleting crowd. The age, location, scope and curriculum of this secondary school establish its notability for retention. Alansohn 05:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep since it appears to meet several criteria within the proposed WP:SCHOOLS guideline. Yamaguchi先生 05:26, 22 October 2006
• Keep. I tried to improve the article from its condition when it was first nominated, and then Alansohn made some further improvements. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 07:24, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep High school are notable and this meets that test so I will have to support this one. TheRanger 13:09, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep — Sufficiently notable. Nominator doesn't help the case by deliberately insulting wikipedians, but that is not the reason for my preference. — RJH (talk) 18:00, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As no assertion of notability. It isn't particularly large, it isn't that old and nothing else about it is notable or distinguishes it from any other school. I do however agree that it would be helpful if everyone tried to stay civil. JoshuaZ 18:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Alansohn and Yamaguchi. --Myles Long 07:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Non-notable school. DCEdwards1966 19:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom: I like fighting uphill battles. Nothing notable about this school. No notability asserted either. Ohconfucius 10:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, nn school, and yes I know it'll be kept, but tilting at windmills is in my blood. Carlossuarez46 22:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Yamaguchi and Alansohn, and spare me the incivility please, kids. Silensor 06:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Necrothesp and most of the other keep voters above. bbx 07:49, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
