"Chimpo is the representative figure for the Fargo North High School technical theatre crew." Does A7 count for figures? -- Kjkolb 09:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I doubt it. What the Hell is a "representative figure"? A mascot? Figurehead? fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. If we had an article on Fargo North High School, we could possibly mention it there. As we don't, delete. Capitalistroadster 11:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The technical theatre crew of a big high school might number around ten people. The mascot of ten people is not noteworthy. DJ Clayworth 20:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
• Undelete. Don't delete our beloved Chimpo. He has served us well, and we want to share him with the world. You ask what he is, and I answer: He is our mascot, representative, or any other such designation you think he should be. We at Fargo North love our great Chimpo and Don't want him to leave. Please join me in the call for keeping Chimpo on this great site. We at Fargo North will expand our summaries to include much more info on Chimpo, our school, and its programs. Thank you. Driken
• UNDELETE TOO. Please let the great chimpo stay. I assure you that there is indeed a Fargo North High School, and all the members of our drama department love him dearly. Let the little guy live, he even has a website, chimposez.tripod.com. thank you user:crashnburn1988
• Delete. Doesn't seem sufficiently notable, or even verifiable if you come down to it. -Colin Kimbrell 22:13, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
• Undelete. Chimpo, while technically a mascot, can easily classify as a figurehead, giving ample evidence that his article, with later additions, should indeed be kept active. -doubleplusungood —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.234.184.36 (talk • contribs)
• Delete. Simply not notable. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Also, to be undeleted, it would have had to be deleted already; the term you're looking for is keep....Scott⁵¹¹⁴ 18:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per Scott5114 above (and others above making same point). James084 14:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• I would like to point out that it is not a vote that has been occurring here. It is a debate. The bold text, at least in many of these entries, is presented not as a vote, but as more of a thesis statement, showing what the writer's overall opinion is on this matter.

• Delete it. Doubleplus and I have talked, and I can speak for crash as well, we concur that this site holds no value.--Driken 08:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all. Ardenn 08:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. —This user has left wikipedia 18:52 2006-02-05
