• Hooray another one not intimidated by attempts to subvert vfd. Super Strong Reinforced delete for a non-notable school.Dunc|☺ 21:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable. Abstain, I forgot this issue hadn't been solved yet... people are sure taking their time. --Sn0wflake 21:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Frankly it's as close to a solution as it's going to get (merge small articles, break out large ones). Kappa 22:07, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I mean a solution in which people actually come to terms instead of endlessly fighting over the subject and using reference pages to vote. But that seems unlikely at the moment, sadly. Cheers. --Sn0wflake 01:42, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, see Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Kappa 21:20, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Schoolcruft. Stub with no real usable information. Hermione1980 22:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect with San Diego City Schools. JYolkowski // talk 00:14, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It might take twenty years to improve, but that doesn't matter at all. CalJW 00:27, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per WP:SCH to the district page. The text there is totally confusing. Complaints about the site being small and that the school is being built but it also seems to exist. Clearly not an article worthy of keeping without a lot of work. Vegaswikian 02:37, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge with San Diego City Schools. See WP:SCH for good advice on how to avoid these pointless and inconclusive school deletion discussions. Briefly, the merge operation could be done without resort to VfD. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 12:17, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. DoubleBlue (Talk) 14:35, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Christopher Parham (talk) 04:06, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
• Keep. See Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments, especially the last two under "Keep". Unfocused 04:42, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. We know all the arguments now, and WP:SCH seems to have failed. --Carnildo 05:19, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Yet another non-article which receives a lot of support due to general dogmatic principles rather than analysis of the specific subject at hand. Indrian 04:21, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. A small hint might be in order here. In May and June the rate of nomination of school articles for deletion tripled, with two editors accounting for two-thirds of all deletion listings--in effect, those editors by themselves were responsible for the massive increase. Such an aggressive campaign tends to put one question foremost in people's minds: do schools belong on Wikipedia? And this is the answer. Yes, schools belong on Wikipedia. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 07:55, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Of course schools belong on wikipedia, but every school? Hardly as far as I am concerned. I believe you, at least, are reading the articles and not just following dogma, but I believe many keep votes are registered by users who are not taking into account any specifics. Indrian 08:18, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. There may be one or two voters to whom that is true (I don't recognise every name here) but if you look at those voting keep at least three four of us have not only looked at this article but improved it. Most others voting have worked on other school articles in the recent past. I am not seeing evidence of robotic voting here, it looks like a heterogeneous bunch of people who do happen to sincerely care about these articles and work to improve them. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 08:26, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
