From VfD:

Once again, I can't resist. This time, it's a grade school. Non-native English, too. Check out the name of the corresponding redirect: Shri Mahaveer Digamber Jain Senior Secondary School. - Lucky 6.9 05:51, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Hmm... a grade school (oops, it's a secondary school -- Wile E. Heresiarch 03:25, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)) ... no evidence of notability in sight. Still, as such, it's more meaningful than the entire compendium of Pokemon fancrap cluttering up WP. No vote yet. (Vote below -- Wile E. Heresiarch 03:25, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)) Wile E.

  • Comment: You sure got that one right. I'd rather see this stay and get cleaned up than stumble across the latest waste of server capacity and shake my head over the whole thing. Isn't there some active talk about redirecting all those Pokemons and Digimons and Dragonballs and other anime whatsits to their own wiki? Consider this dismaying observation: Pikachu reminds me of Rosie O'Donnell. - Lucky 6.9 07:43, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Wrong side of the line, no matter how well done. Lucky 6.9, I was sorta kinda joking about the anime ghetto, but it is a good idea. Geogre 12:46, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Expansion: We seek to offer information on all institutions that are notable. There never was and is not now really a policy rule that one type of school (college) stays or goes. By simple deseutude, we came to a sort of deletionist's agreement on that, but the truth is that there is one criterion: notability for NPOV non-stub articles on schools. "Notability" is something we can argue about. I have voted to keep, for example, schools that were the first school of a particular denomination in a place. This school offers us no notability. There are many, many web guides to schools available now. Most of them are free to users (because they charge schools). We do not need to get into the habit of trying to duplicate in a clumsy way what others do in a professional (i.e. they're paid to do it) way. Sorry if this is testy. Geogre 00:13, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Side-Comment: I have not been here as long as many who vote on this page have, but I am in total agreement with the previous statement. Notability is an arguable subject. Also, we (those who vote on the basis of notability when it is in question) are not elitists, but if you let everything and anything have its own entry, this beautiful project goes from a heirarchy of what is seen as credible knowledge to a scattered mess of this and that information. I do not feel my time is well-spent in working to make Wikipedia better if the latter is going to be the outcome. Skyler 00:42, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Note: Just because there are a lot of entries of inappropriate content, this does not give reason to keep others. I have seen the "If you delete this, than you'll have to delete that..." argument far too often as an excuse to keep. From my understanding, the point of this page is to improve Wikipedia and keep it respectable. Other similar tolerated content should not be used as an argument, they should be listed here as well.

  • Keep. Would be included in an unabridged encyclopedia of religious schools. Information probably useful for those researching: Jainism, architecture of the Johari Bazaar, or the historic legacy of Sawai Man Singh Bahadur. Remember: just because you personally find no need for an article, doesn't mean it can't useful to someone else. Needs cleanup, though for format and context. Davodd 20:10, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. --Dittaeva 21:17, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
