[edit] Rancocas Valley Regional High School

Not notable at all, clearly not ever going to be more than stub, should delete--Cr0w bar 00:22, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - It looks like a lot of work went into it - it's not a stub. It should be improved, but not deleted entirely. --Tony (Talk), Vandalism Ninja 00:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not notable, reads like the school's site. Completely void of encyclopedic value --Mecanismo | Talk 00:31, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. My understanding of current consensus is that high schools are usually notable. Please point me somewhere if I'm wrong. --Allen 00:44, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - see Wikipedia:Schools. However, article needs to have POV written out of it, and phrases like "our" and "we" taken out, also WP:Schools suggests that only the principal should be mentioned. Camillus (talk) 00:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - All schools deserve a spot on wikipedia, just because it's a stub doesn't mean it should be deleted. Always has the potential to be expanded. --lightdarkness ^(talk) 01:01, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Schools are more notable than subway stations, and subways stations are considered notable per se. Monicasdude 01:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but tidy, as per above. -- 9cds^(talk) 01:10, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it's a stub but a useful one. Could be expanded. Mikker ^... 02:04, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, all schools are notable. --Terence Ong 02:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep I have no idea who submitted this AfD, or why, but a cursory review of the article demonstrates that it meets all of the criteria for retention per WP:SCH. This battle has been fought on high school articles dozens of times with AfD's failing 99.9% of the time, even with articles that had far less content. The article was also been created as part of Wikiproject New Jersey, which is expanding many articles related to the state of New Jersey, with a particular emphasis on education. Furthermore, as the school is a regional high school, serving students from multiple municipalities, the text cannot be simply merged into one article. Clearly the article will benefit improvement and expansion. But the user who created this AfD has been on Wikipedia for barely 12 hours and has already submitted several AfDs without clear justification. I fail to see any reason that a Speedy Keep should not be the result. Alansohn 04:27, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. All verifiable schools are notable. Carioca 05:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but rid of the POV. Royal Blue 05:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Notable. --Siva1979^{Talk to me}06:44, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
