[edit] Science High School

Six edits to get to the address as the only content. Does not meet speedy criteria so here we are. Vegaswikian 1 July 2005 06:30 (UTC)

  • Expand or die! Yuk. If this thing expands, my vote is keep. If not, delete. Harro5 July 1, 2005 06:46 (UTC)
  • Does meet speedy criteria. Dunc|☺ 1 July 2005 10:18 (UTC)
    • Did meet speedy criteria, but someone's wasted their time writing it. Strong delete not notable school. Dunc|☺ 1 July 2005 15:32 (UTC)
  • Keep. The speedy was premature as the school as clearly identified and as such the article is easily expandable. As it happens, an award-winning movie director is filming a documentary called "American Teen" based on the class of 2006 at that school. Nanette Burstein walked away with numerous major awards for her documentary On the Ropes and the movie was nominated for an Oscar in 1999. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 1 July 2005 12:10 (UTC) (See comments and apology below for my error) --Tony Sidaway|Talk 1 July 2005 21:06 (UTC)
  • Keep and await (or hope for) further expansion. Since this school will be featured in a documentary which makes it more notable than the average school. If not just merge it with Newark or the appropriate school district. Sjakkalle (Check!) 1 July 2005 12:17 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Unfortunately, being seen on TV does count as notability in today's world. — P Ingerson (talk) 1 July 2005 12:24 (UTC)
  • Keep. Verified stub. Almafeta 1 July 2005 12:32 (UTC)
  • Keep, see w:Schools/arguments. The article has an interesting history. Kappa 1 July 2005 15:06 (UTC)
  • Wait there's something odd about this name. The external link points to Newark High School, but the article is named "Science High School". So which is it? That needs to be clarified in the page. If that's done, I vote to keep. :) — RJH 1 July 2005 17:33 (UTC)
    • LOL good point RJHall. It looks like Newark High School is not the same as Science High School, Newark. The article has been rewritten, people may wish to reconsider their votes. Kappa 1 July 2005 20:06 (UTC)
    • Thanks. I screwed up and mixed the schools. The article is now in any case a perfectly good stub, thanks to other editors, but I think those who consider notability to be a significant criterion in such cases should review their votes. My apologies for getting the schools mixed up. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 1 July 2005 21:06 (UTC)
  • keep and please stop using vfd for cleanup Yuckfoo 1 July 2005 23:41 (UTC)
  • Keep. Spork. —RaD Man (talk) 2 July 2005 08:45 (UTC)
  • Keep Please don't nominate any more schools as you will be wasting your time and other peoples' time. CalJW 2 July 2005 20:01 (UTC)
  • Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. The external links provided by Kappa promise an interesting possibility of expansion. I'm also curious as to why the initial author blanked the article. Though far from perfect, it was an interesting start. DoubleBlue (Talk) 2 July 2005 22:17 (UTC)
    • At a guess, it might have been more than one person, using a school IP. Kappa 2 July 2005 23:43 (UTC)
  • Keep. Needs expansion, but legitimate article. -- Necrothesp 4 July 2005 18:59 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. --Idont Havaname 5 July 2005 00:51 (UTC)
  • Keep. At this time it is a good start for a school article. Unfocused 6 July 2005 04:28 (UTC)
