[edit] Leander High School

This article meet the speedy deletion criteria and still does. It only lists the location and that is all it has contained for the past 30 days. Deleting will lose nothing and when someone writes an real article it can stay. Vegaswikian 30 June 2005 01:56 (UTC)

• Delete, no evidence of notability. --W(t) 30 June 2005 02:04 (UTC)
• Keep. All schools are notable enough for a truly great encyclopaedia. —RaD Man (talk) 30 June 2005 02:15 (UTC)
  • RaD Man, see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Articles sections 1 and 3. -- Bcat (talk | email) 30 June 2005 02:18 (UTC)
    • Please try being bold in updating pages rather than casting them aside for deletion. —RaD Man (talk) 30 June 2005 02:25 (UTC)
• Speedy delete unless expanded. -- Bcat (talk | email) 30 June 2005 02:16 (UTC)
  • And you should know damn well this is not even remotely a speedy deletion candidate. —RaD Man (talk) 30 June 2005 02:27 (UTC)
    • Cool down, man. I thought that it was as speedy candidate or I wouldn't have said so. (Remember to assume good faith.) -- Bcat (talk | email) 30 June 2005 02:34 (UTC)
    • BTW, my vote refers to this version of the article. -- Bcat (talk | email) 30 June 2005 02:36 (UTC)
  • No kidding, Bcat knows better. As to the version difference, that just proves that the time you spend arguing here could have been spent making the article better. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 02:37 (UTC)
    • • reminder. The policy against personal attacks is quite clear, even if the speedy deletion policy is not. Dystopos 3 July 2005 16:40 (UTC)
        • what.SchmuckyTheCat 3 July 2005 17:48 (UTC)
    • One might point out that "speedy delete unless expanded" never makes any sense. Jgm 3 July 2005 12:37 (UTC)
  • No longer a speedy candidate. Weak keep. -- Bcat (talk | email) 30 June 2005 02:47 (UTC)
• Keep valid stub. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 02:37 (UTC)
• Keep most schools. Does need expansion though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind June 30, 2005 02:38 (UTC)
  • Note I expanded it a little, it's certainly well out of the speedy realm now. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind June 30, 2005 02:55 (UTC)
• Keep. Good stub on a notable topic. Factitious June 30, 2005 07:09 (UTC)
• Merge with Leander, Texas. Improved from the almost contentless substub level, but still a stub and notable only at a local level. Sjakkalle (Check!) 30 June 2005 09:35 (UTC)
• Keep. Inherent notability. Unfocused 30 June 2005 12:34 (UTC)
• Keep. Definitely good information here. Metromoxie 30 June 2005
• Strong delete not notable. Dunc|☺ 30 June 2005 16:08 (UTC)

• Delete: A box with students and teachers in it. There is no character assigned or described, no individuality to the place at all. No more notable than a gas station or pizzaria. It sure was a speedy delete candidate. Please do not accuse VfD nominators of acting in bad faith when they bring legitimate candidates to this page. Just because you think every school is sacred, that doesn't mean that speedy delete substubs should be left around on this one subject (but none others). [1] [User:Geogre] 30 June 2005 17:00 (UTC)
• Keep - good start. DS1953 30 June 2005 17:40 (UTC)
• Merge with the article on the school district. --Carnildo 30 June 2005 20:44 (UTC)
• Delete, as with 99% of all high schools. What happened in the last round of the debate on listing schools? Would be nice to make a policy decision, and not have to have this thread every single day. Tempshill 30 June 2005 21:05 (UTC)
  • Keep It would be nice if the deletionists accepted that they always lose these votes now and moved on. CalJW 30 June 2005 21:15 (UTC)
• keep please as with 100% of all high schools this deletionism is pointless Yuckfoo 30 June 2005 21:21 (UTC)
• Keep. This article has gone from a marginal keep-and-cleanup to a pretty good stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 30 June 2005 22:19 (UTC)
• Merge with the article on the school district, unless notable alumni with articles in Wikipedia (which are not on VfD) are listed. --Idont Havaname 1 July 2005 08:00 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a school directory, and this school is not notable. Isomorphic 1 July 2005 08:02 (UTC)
• Keep as per agreed schools guidelines/policy. James F. (talk) 1 July 2005 10:22 (UTC)

We have a policy on this? Cool, where is it? Jgm 3 July 2005 12:37 (UTC)

• Keep — same reasons as always. — RJH 1 July 2005 16:49 (UTC)
• Keep. Per previous debates, all High Schools have potential for notability. Though best practice is to keep it on the city or town page until sufficient information is contributed to merit a separate article, we are better off not wasting our time rehashing old arguments here. Dystopos 1 July 2005 23:10 (UTC)
• Delete high school articles that don't indicate notability, not that anyone's listening. Gazpacho 2 July 2005 02:05 (UTC)
• Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. Notablility is not a deletion criteria but I believe schools are inherently notable. I will be civil, assume good faith, and not claim that you aren't listening to that argument. DoubleBlue (Talk) 2 July 2005 22:09 (UTC)
