[edit] Keira High School

Delete. Non-notable high school. BEEFSTEW score of 1 (D) 0. android↔talk 05:14, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, necessary to coverage of its local area. Kappa 06:13, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Useless substub about non-notable school. Anything "necessary to coverage of its local area" can go in an article about the relevant town. Gamaliel 06:20, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep This argument shows a failure to understand the category system. The town's article won't be in the education menu sytem. Wincoote 20:19, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Categories exist to serve articles. We shouldn't have bad articles merely to serve categories. —Korath (Talk) 22:45, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, suspect it's not even notable within Fairy Meadow. Slac speak up! 07:39, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm wondering what three facts you found to fulfill D; I count a BEEFSTEW of 0. —Korath (Talk) 08:48, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
    • I'm wondering, too. Must have been the late hour. Amended to 0 above. android↔talk 16:15, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No potential to become encyclopedic. Jayjg (talk) 10:00, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I like BEEFSTEW, merge into the town article if we need to keep it. Otherwise delete. Mgm|(talk) 12:32, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per low BEEFSTEW score. Radiant_* 15:13, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this and all other articles on nonnotable high schools. --Angr 15:24, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable. Just another high school. --InShaneee 15:28, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Useless substub about a non-notable school. DaveTheRed 18:56, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete No useful information, and probable vanity. If this school deserves an article, this definitely isn't it. Chris 19:23, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just a directory entry. Wikipedia is not a directory. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:26, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete; zero BEEFSTEW. (Alternately, a mention of the school can be merged to the Fairy Meadow article if someone really feels the need.) --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 05:03, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This pointless anti-schoool vendetta is becoming quite tiresome. All schools are public institutions, and all public institutions and facilities are notable by definition. That's right - all public institutions and facilities.--Centauri 06:23, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Note that the most recent Wikipedia poll on the subject indicates that articles on non-notable schools should be deleted. This poll is asserted by some people to be policy. Radiant_* 13:23, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
    • Many things are asserted by many people. For example, some people have gone as far as to assert that a user page which promotes article improvement should be deleted. No policy consensus was ever reached at said poll, don't you agree? --GRider\talk 19:07, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Ah, and several people assert that GRider is not a troll. Anyway, I fully agree that said poll does not have a consensus. And note that I never said it was policy either (nor do I think it is). Radiant_* 09:36, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
      • Well that should make things a whole lot easier for you Radiant!, because there's no such thing as a "non-notable school". --Gene_poole 23:31, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • That's your POV. The 'pedia would be a better place if we could reach a consensus on this. Radiant_* 09:36, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and allow for tender love and organic growth. --GRider\talk 19:04, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I've said it before and I'll say it again: This is another typical "bored student" substub that is patently useless as is and does nothing to establish anything of note about its subject. It's more of a Yellow Pages listing than an encyclopedia article. Respectfully disagree that any handful of words that try to describe a public facility is automatically sacrosanct and/or capable of growth. OTOH, if this is fleshed into a real article and not a phone book entry, I'll gladly vote to keep this. Public facilities can be and often are notable, but this article doesn't ring the bell for this particular example. - Lucky 6.9 23:39, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. --BaronLarf 03:42, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Err, GRider, I understand why you did the page move, but it says right on the VfD notice: Please do not remove or deface this notice or blank, merge, or move this article while the discussion is in progress. (Article is now at Keira Technology High School; Keira High School is now a redirect to it.) android↔talk 04:36, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. See my points at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Any policy regarding school articles?. -- Toytoy 04:37, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Wollongong, New South Wales and delete. I wish that those who would write about their schools could instead start a school project to expand articles about their whole community - Skysmith 10:02, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable school. --G Rutter 12:29, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable school. Any useful information should be in an article on its local area. Carbonite | Talk 13:31, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep' and allow for tender love and organic growth. If nothing happens in a reasonable timeperiod, then VfD it again Klonimus 09:25, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Note: user's 22nd edit (and most of them are talks or VfDs)
  • delete. I do not believe that the average high school is encyclopedic. Joyous 11:50, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established. Indrian 23:53, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This is more notable than a pokemon character. --Spinboy 07:40, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with Lucky, who said it well. Jonathunder 15:44, 2005 Mar 31 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-existant BEEFSTEW score. -- Riffsyphon1024 18:51, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. VladMV ٭ talk 18:31, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
