[edit] Detroit Catholic Central High School

One notable alumnus and that's it as far as notability. Delete. Neutrality^talk 05:09, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet. CDThieme 05:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, establishes notability. Gazpacho 05:34, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand all secondary schools. All secondary schools are notable. --BaronLarf 05:35, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Every one of them? Really? Should there be a little stub for every school on the planet, then?

Why yes, apparently, excuse me while I go write about Cabri primary school with its total roll of 50 and declining... Master Thief Garrett 07:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Note that I said "secondary" school. --BaronLarf 11:16, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Note that Cabri has a secondary school too, with a roll of ~60 and declining. Master Thief Garrett 12:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Please create one for both, I would be interested in seeing these articles. Part of the most fascinating thing about culture is how it decays, and what springs up to replace it. --Unfocused 13:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

A fascinating thing about Wikipedia deletion voting policy is how it decays, and what springs up to replace it. (Not any one editor's, just the crowd's.) Barno 19:03, 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 05:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable due to size of school and notable alumnus. This deserves a Stub tag, not a VfD --Cynical 13:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep schools and all that jazz R Calvete 19:56, 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 20:27, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Ketsy 20:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Bogus (non-policy) mass nomination, clogging the system - notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Quale 23:55, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per my school article policy. Kelly Martin 02:08, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
