[edit] Cupertino High School

Non-notable, delete. Neutralitytalk 04:20, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand. High schools should not have to pass a notability test. I apologize for the virtually cut-and-paste vote, but the large number of schools being added to the list cuts down on originality. --BaronLarf 04:38, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Bloody good stub! --Tony Sidaway|Talk 04:47, 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 05:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. How is this different from any other high school in the United States? Does there need to be an article for every single one? CDThieme
    • Because it's one of the best. Don't have stats off the top of my head, but schools in the Cupertino Union School District and Fremont Union High School District are known to provide very good education. The other four high schools in the district have articles, and they aren't on VfD (knock on wood). Having said that, this definitely needs to be expanded.

  • Delete Wikipedia is not Triviapedia. Instutional vanity Gmaxwell 06:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Kappa 06:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable, schools cruft. Megan1967 06:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Cupertino is pretty notable as one of the best high schools in Silicon Valley, although the article doesn't establish notability. PlatypeanArchcow 06:30, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: vanity of vanities. Jonathunder 06:47, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
    • Delete, vain, does not establish its notability to me the unknowing reader. I'm beginning to wonder if Neutrality is some sort of notability bot in disguise as a user... 20+ listings all at once... Master Thief Garrett 07:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Cupertino, California and delete - Skysmith 09:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • One of the best high schools in California based on state wide testing. keep Lotsofissues 12:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. A notability standard is inherently POV. - SimonP 13:28, 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 someone seems to have mass-suggested articles for VfD simply because of a POV judgment of their subject--Cynical 13:34, 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 15:09, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/Consolidate into an article on the local school district. — RJH 15:31, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Longhair | Talk 16:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, good stub. R Calvete 19:12, 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 20:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the schoolcruft. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 20:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the school articles. Christopher Parham 21:11, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Quale 23:37, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Fremont Union High School District per my school article policy. Kelly Martin 01:47, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge as above. Vegaswikian 05:59, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, or merge as above if delete fails. Jayjg (talk) 21:40, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. A nice little stub, and notabilit is still not an official criterion for deletion/retention! Visit Schoolwatch and vote on the school articles subject to Neutrality's wrongheaded school vfd campaign. --Zantastik 02:54, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Please don't word your opinion like it's right or the only or correct one. Thank you. Master Thief Garrett 03:42, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, need expansion. -- Lochaber 17:19, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Nominator is self-indulgent and is harming Wikipedia by wasting time which should be spent on articles. CalJW 18:21, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep until Wikipedia runs out of space. -- BD2412 talk 02:17, 2005 May 20 (UTC)
  • Delete = not notable. NoAccount 02:48, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - As per all schools, I vote to keep.--Irishpunktom\talk 14:53, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
