[edit] All Saints' Academy

A private school of 350 students from kindergarten to grade seven. Non-notable, delete. Neutrality^talk 20:04, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

• As I read it, the school is K-12. It used to be K-7. Abstain. Gazpacho 20:38, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable and NPOV. DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:02, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable, nontrivial, notable enough Kappa 21:18, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. ESkog 22:17, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- Longhair | Talk 22:33, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Quale 22:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable, NPOV, reasonable topic. Kelly Martin 22:52, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, until Wikipedia starts running out of space. For a K-7, this has some interesting history. -- BD2412 ^thimkact 23:01, 2005 May 15 (UTC)
• Keep, I feel it's notable enough. JYolkowski // talk 23:09, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. As noted by others above fits the criteria put up by Jimbo Wales for keeping an article on Wikipedia: verifiable & NPOV --AYArktos 00:50, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Non-notable instutional vanity. Gmaxwell 00:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep high schools. R Calvete 02:12, 2005 May 16 (UTC)
• Keep schools. --Unfocused 03:42, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I tend to agree with Jimbo's opinion on verifiability. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 06:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, school cruft. Megan1967 06:16, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I live near this school and I have never heard of it. If it's not notable locally, it certainly isn't worthy of an encyclopedia. Gamaliel 07:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: While you personally may not have heard of it, a Google News search on All Saints' Academy polk shows recent entries on the websites of Hernando Today and The Ledger. A Google search shows that the Assistant Principal of this tiny school is the Florida High School Athletic Association's delegate elect for one of its 32 public high school divisions--this body is officially recognised by the Florida State Assembly. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 12:31, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
    • The fact that local news organizations mention a local school is hardly worth noting, and neither is the principal's participation in a standard state public school organization. Gamaliel 17:04, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
      • I happen not to live in Polk County, but if I'm looking at sports fixtures for Florida and notice the name of the school, I think it should be possible that an encyclopedia as good as Wikipedia has now become can tell me something about the school. That's what encyclopedias are good at--distilling public information. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:27, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Polk County, Florida and delete - Skysmith 09:06, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Schools, certainly notable. Seems NPOV to me, as well. -- Natalinasmpf 09:34, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, needs expansion. -- Lochaber 12:22, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Polk County, Florida. --Carnildo 17:59, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Please do something useful instead. Oliver Chettle 19:20, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Less notable than most of these, and that's saying something. Jayjg ^(talk) 19:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Wikipedia isn't running out of space. --Zantastik 19:41, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Isn't worth the storage space, no matter how low disk-storage costs have gotten. --Calton | Talk 03:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless wikipedia wants a boring, pointless article for every average school in every country. CDThieme

• That would be great. keep Lotsofissues 11:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, it's both verifiable and written in an NPOV way. Notability isn't a deletion criterion. James F. (talk) 12:53, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, vanity. Radiant_* 13:46, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notability is still not a deletion criterion. Needs title that includes location. - David Gerard 22:28, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Wikipedia would not be improved by the deletion of this article. ~leif ☺ _(talk) 01:02, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Lets keep this in perspective. Surely this article is as important as anything you might be able to dig up in Category:Poland geography stubs? No one is doing a mass VfD on the articles on Polish Eastern Orthodox Basilicas. How about Szczecin-Goclaw? Is this school less important than some polish Nowe Miasto? linas 00:11, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
