[edit] Orleans Park School

No evidence of notability. Just another crap article about a school Dunc|☺ 14:01, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Another good school stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, there's no consensus that schools need to be specially "notable". Kappa 15:20, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge into an area schools article. Will these school delete attempts ever end? — RJH 17:21, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or merge into an area schools article. NeoJustin 17:32, June 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: "Special" notability is one thing. Being definable for any characteristics whatever that make it different from a donut shop (building with kids in it) would be nice. Having a character, a history, or anything else that demonstrates that this is an entity that has a unique place would be a real bonus. Geogre 17:45, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - reasonable stub. DS1953 17:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with the appropriate geographical article, to keep the school inclusionists happy. --Carnildo 18:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - no reason to delete. Christopher Parham (talk) 18:43, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)
• Delete. Useless substub. Gamaliel 20:22, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Schools belong in the encyclopedia. Unfocused 20:35, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, article fails to establish notability. RickK 22:16, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable and NPOV stub. I agree with WP:SCH. DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:49, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Just another crap nomination. CalJW 05:23, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Twickenham. For those who rely on WP:SCH as a justification you should really read WP:SCH#Method_for_creating_school_articles and you would see that articles like this are not how it should be done. Vegaswikian 05:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I wouldn't say I agree with it if I hadn't read it. That may be how it should be done but it isn't how it was done in this case. If someone wants to merge it, I won't quarrel but I also don't advocate it. It's perfectly valid as an expandable stub. DoubleBlue (Talk) 01:16, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Twickenham and delete - Skysmith 08:20, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Quale 21:25, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Twickenham and delete. Radiant_>|< 10:11, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I'll vote to delete every crap fluff article about schools until there's an article on every supermarket, pub, McDonalds and street. And for the love of God I pray that never happens. Proto 11:21, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep on keeping school articles on Wikipedia. —RaD Man (talk) 22:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Schools belong on Wikipedia. -CunningLinguist 16:33, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is quite a depressing place these days. A noble attempt at creating an interactive, informative, encyclopedia being slowly ruined because an apparent majority of users equate random trivia with knowledge and virtually unlimited capactiy as a call to elmintate all standards. I hope wikipedia can correct itself, but if it does not, I hope the next project that attemps to realize this goal does a better job. Indrian 04:07, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • This article makes wikipedia more informative, and deleting it hardly makes it more interactive. I agree that wikipedia is a depressing place, but I'm determined to stick with it and preserve as much value as possible. Kappa 11:54, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • As am I. I find it unfortunate that we disagree so fundamentally, but I realize that you are doing what you think is best. I assure you, my motives are just as noble. Indrian 03:42, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• keep please it depresses me most that we keep having this pointless debate Yuckfoo 16:33, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
