[edit] William P. Clements High School

This article about a high school is not notable.

Perhaps Merge some of the into the town article? I am not sure. - Stoph 20:21, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep Notable public school opened to the public in 1983. Every school is worthy of inclusion in a truely great encyclopaedia. Klonimus 20:28, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, but it would probably be best if some references were cited to validate claims of excellence (or tone down the POV). —RaD Man (talk) 20:55, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: User:Stoph appears to have been created one week ago. *sigh* —RaD Man (talk) 21:02, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: is that relevant? I honestly wasn't aware that it was. - Stoph 22:25, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • merge to the town's entry, and delete. Not all schools are notable! Mine wasn't, and this one is no better. BigFatDave 22:22, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: perhaps making VfD pages about schools isn't worth it when opinions are divided on this subject, see Wikipedia:Deletion policy/schools and Wikipedia_talk:Deletion_policy/schools - Stoph 22:34, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • VfD is applicable exactly because opinions are divided on this subject. If they weren't, it would be WP:CSD material. Also, delete as vanity. Radiant_* 13:54, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, relax and accomodate [1], decent-sized article about a high school. Kappa 23:33, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • keep this please, very well written and too large to merge. is this for real? Yuckfoo 01:33, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established. This is an encyclopedia not a directory. Indrian 04:15, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Agree with Indrian. --The JPS 10:48, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep quite a decent article. - SimonP 12:55, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Remove the filler material and we're left with the first two sentences and an external link. Note that, as usual, there was also an attempt to stack the vote on this vfd. [2] —Korath (Talk) 14:10, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. JuntungWu 14:49, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nothing jawdropping here. Grue 20:07, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • "swimming teams (boys and girls) often colour their hair wild and eccentric colours." Lots of notability in this... not really. Delete. --Idont Havaname 21:07, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Oliver Chettle 23:10, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Verifiable public institution.--Gene_poole 00:18, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is actually a pretty good article in need of a POVectomy. I'd like to see a little more on the history of the place as well. - Lucky 6.9 05:00, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world. Gamaliel 06:17, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Sugar Land, Texas and delete - Skysmith 08:52, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep and should be heavily edited to remove obvious POV still present. -CunningLinguist 02:09, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep There is a place on Wikipedia for schools. --ShaunMacPherson 03:51, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with everything Gamaliel said. Jonathunder 04:09, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
  • Keep and continue to expand, as we have been doing. I've removed unverifiable and POV information. High schools do not need to prove notability. --BaronLarf 01:48, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. Cedars 06:45, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: This is User:Cedar's 46th edit. The owner of this account immediately gravitated towards VfD-related activity by the 10th edit. [3] [4] —RaD Man (talk) 10:02, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Cedars has been a user since Feb 1. Surely that's long enough for his/her votes to be valid? Gamaliel 22:04, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand for more useful info on the school. Has potential to become encyclopedic. --Andylkl (talk) 15:20, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep invalid vfd listing, its a sockpuppet likely created just to list this.  ALKIVAR™ 09:41, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Houshuang 01:03, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established. This is an encyclopedia not a directory. Master Thief Garrett 01:37, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notability is subjective. ~leif ☺ (talk) 19:59, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
