[edit] Charter School of Wilmington

Seemingly not notable. No vote. —msh210 17:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Considering the main description of the school is "The Charter School of Wilmington, known as "Charter" is the home of gangsters," I vote delete. Charter schools have a greater probability of having something noteworthy to say, but there isn't any content yet, not even a link to their better-than-average website. —Wahoofive | Talk 18:21, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: The deciding sysop should take into consideration that user account Wahoofive was created one month ago, immediately gravitating towards VfD-related discussions. —RaD Man (talk) 02:07, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • This seems baseless. The first edit to a vfd I see in his contributions is on March 27, nearly a month after his first edit. —Korath (Talk) 02:17, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable charter school. BEEFSTEW of 0. Dave the Red (talk) 18:59, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Let me preface by saying I didn't write the ridiculous original article, but as a Delaware resident I do feel Charter School of Wilmington is worthy of mention. It was the first charter school in Delaware (and one of the first in the country, if I'm not mistaken). I've rewritten the article- didn't have time for more than a stub at this point. I vote Keep until some more substance can be added.--Briangotts 19:15, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep "one of the first public/private charter schools in the country". Kappa 20:39, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • and also "Charter School of Wilmington is the highest performing public high school" in Delaware. [1] Kappa 21:03, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Verifiability established. Subject is not vanity, original research or nonsense.--Centauri 22:53, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and look forward to Briangotts expansion. I would have voted delete for the original version but it is now a decent stub with someone promising to work on expanding it. Capitalistroadster 02:33, 15 Apr 2005 (UT
  • Keep A School that is notable by nature and its attribute of being the first charter school in Delaware. Klonimus 04:02, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Wilmington, Delaware and delete - Skysmith 09:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep great new stub. I'm looking forward to the expansion as well. - Lucky 6.9 05:31, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge per Skysmith. Radiant_* 11:09, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • You should know by now that merge/delete isn't a valid vote. Kappa 16:50, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Obviously, and your point is? My vote is plainly merge, I didn't mention delete. Radiant_* 10:10, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's up to BEEFSTEW 1 (A), but only because of the irrelevant third sentence, which properly belongs in Charter schools in Delaware or Education in Delaware or such. —Korath (Talk) 19:20, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, valid stub, looks interesting. —RaD Man (talk) 01:03, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand this school article. "Seemingly not notable" says msh210? Surely it is notable to the thousands of people who's lives are affected by the article's subject. Notability is subjective. Please stop deleting school articles. ~leif ☺ HELO 19:20, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep the first charter school in the state of de Yuckfoo 01:36, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I waited a while on this one, hoping something could be made of it. However, the addition of an irrelevant third line about charter schools just showed how little actual information there is here. "One of the first charter schools"? Honestly, what does that even mean? The 3rd one? Tenth one? Perhaps the first charter school would be notable. Delete. Jayjg (talk) 03:07, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Yet another school. And so unnotable that no-one has bothered to write more than a stub. The JPS 11:00, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • I think we were waiting for Briangotts to get back to it. Kappa 11:02, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Has been upgraded and is pretty notable -CunningLinguist 02:02, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep There is a place on Wikipedia for schools. --ShaunMacPherson 03:50, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - As per all schools, I vote to keep. --Irishpunktom\talk 14:46, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and continue to expand. High schools should not have to prove notability, but this one is notable anyway. By many measures, it is the best high school in Delaware. It was one of the first public/private charter schools in the nation, and 6 major companies run it. Unique and interesting. --BaronLarf 20:51, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and allow for organic growth.  ALKIVAR™ 09:39, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Houshuang 01:00, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established. This is an encyclopedia not a directory. You fail BEEFSTEW, you fail me. Clear enough, I think. Master Thief Garrett 01:44, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notability is subjective. There is plenty of room in this encyclopedia for articles about schools. ~leif ☺ (talk) 19:57, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
