[edit] Fern Ridge High School

A poorly written and trivia-laden article on a school. Doesn't assert notability. Cmdrjameson 00:06, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep but needs massive cleanup, probably a total rewrite. I was almost certain this thing was some sort of hoax (especially the Blow Pop part) but to my amazement, it's true! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:16, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Appears to be an acutal high school in Missouri. [1] Durova 00:22, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • If kept, should be cleaned up. In the absence of material that would warrant a seperate article, I vote to merge with Parkway School District. Keep Well done to the editors who cleaned it up. Capitalistroadster 00:35, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep <remove person attack>. Kurt Weber 02:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a High School. Message to nom- use cleanup tag next time instead. -- JJay 02:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Cleanup or Delete in it's current form it deserves to be deleted, but if someone cleans it up some it could be an ok stub. xaosflux Talk/CVU 04:16, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Changed vote to Keep, as it's been cleaned up signifigantly. xaosflux Talk/CVU 16:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep high schools are notable--MONGO 04:23, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as we will almost certainly have a good article sooner that way. CalJW 05:22, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - real school. Good enough for me. And what's this about a hoax? [2] seems to suggest its real. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 06:01, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, alternative schools are underrepresented in wikipedia. Kappa 08:06, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:SCH as this has the required amount of non-generic information about the school, and is expandable. It's well worthy of its own article, as its far from a typical school. Also note, that virtually all of the original content is now gone, so this is pretty much a new article. --Rob 08:20, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as nom --Mecanismo | Talk 12:20, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I'm not quite sure how you can "Delete as nom". The nomination was based on this, which was changed to this. Essentially, the old article is completely gone, along with the problems it had. Notice below, the nominator is keeping the revised/cleaned-up version. Now you're vote came *after* the cleanup. So, please explain what is wrong with the revised article, as I would be happy to address any remaining problems if it's possible to do so. --Rob 20:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep A nice cleanup: it's much clearer why the school is of interest. Cmdrjameson 18:01, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - NO (real) schools should be deleted. --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 21:39, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep-Real School, good enough....Jcuk 23:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, in accordance with WP:SCH criteria. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 04:01, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete School are not notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopaedia --Bucephalus 12:41, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep High Schools. — RJH 21:00, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Agree with Can't sleep. —Brim 06:59, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep or Merge into school district or town if article is both below three sentances and lacks any sort of illustration, boxed info-template or picture when AFD is closed. This school, like all others, is an important public institution and should be written about somewhere, even if it cannot sustain an article on it's own. Presently people do create school articles containing neutral, verifiable information and it is impossible to delete them, even though many have a desire to do so. Rather than striving for an impossible consensus to delete any given school article, I feel it is always preferable and takes much less energy to merge the text of the article into an article about a suitable habitation or administrative unit: a city, county or state, or a school district of local education authority of other school system, while taking care not to delete the information contained in the article. If the article is merged, the current location should be replaced by a redirect, and the edit history maintained for future use. This is the baseline consensus that I feel was reached at WP:SCH.
