[edit] Collingwood School

Still non-notable despite attempts to disguise its non-notability through an uninformative infobox. Wikipedia is not a school guide, and there is absolutely nothing to distinguish this school from thousands of others like it. Delete. Neutralitytalk 04:29, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep all schools are notable -- didn't this already survive one VfD? Chiacomo 04:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. This high school was put through VfD once; respectfully, why waste everyone's time by doing it again? High schools should not have to meet notability requirements. --BaronLarf 04:35, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I profess myself utterly baffled by this obsessive campaign to try to delete perfectly good school stubs from Wikipedia. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 04:49, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nothing special. CDThieme
  • Keep. Good Stub. Capitalistroadster 05:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV. First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge. Thanks to Neutrality, I've had no time for adding content today. --Unfocused 05:25, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, good stub. Kappa 06:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not Triviapedia. Instutional vanity Gmaxwell 06:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - good stub DS1953 06:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: still nothing showing particular notability. Jonathunder 06:53, 2005 May 17 (UTC)

  • Keep. Subject should be verifiable. - SimonP 13:25, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Encyclopedic, verifiable and NPOV. Meets all agreed-upon Wikipedia standards. Like some others, I will be copy-pasting this to all the high school votes since Neutrality seems to have mass-suggested articles for VfD simply because of a POV judgment of their subject--Cynical 13:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this fine little article Lupin 14:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, vanity. Radiant_* 15:01, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • As CDThieme says, Delete unless Wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet.--Mitsukai 15:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/Consolidate into an article on the local school district. — RJH 15:33, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Longhair | Talk 16:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep schools, inherently notable, vfd already kept before. R Calvete 19:23, 2005 May 17 (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. Gamaliel 20:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • The infobox is cute! =D Keep. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Quale 23:38, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as with others. Christopher Parham 00:45, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
  • Merge with West Vancouver per my school article policy. Kelly Martin 01:50, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Trivia, no apparent possibility of becoming noteworthy. If delete fails, merge as above. Jayjg (talk) 21:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Why waste all this time voting on vfd for this school again, when we could be improving stubs? Visit Schoolwatch and vote on the school articles subject to Neutrality's wrongheaded school vfd campaign. --Zantastik 02:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
    • And how long has this so-called Schoolwatch program been in effect? And how much actual improvement can be attributed to it? It's not a school improvement project, it's a Save the Trivial School Stubs rallying point. --Calton | Talk 04:46, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This isn't an encyclopedia article, it's Yellow Pages listing. --Calton | Talk 04:46, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, need expansion (this article has already passed a VfD). -- Lochaber 17:23, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Ban nominator. CalJW 18:23, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
