I added quite a bit of information to this page, so if you didn't think the article was good enough before, I urge you to review it, and possibly change your vote. However, if you are really convinced that High Schools must have former presidents as their alumni to consider inclusion, then sadly, there is probably little I can do to make you change your mind.

  • Strong keep. Both notable and encyclopedic. [[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 17:00, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • DELETE, it's own website fails to toot its own horn on its notability; I only see a few articles on gaybashing attesting to any notability of this school. 132.205.15.43 18:04, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC) (anonymous vote)

* If they provided information to make it a sub instead of a substub, I would vote keep. AS it is, it is rather useless. Houshuang 18:32, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC) Keep. Houshuang 20:21, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

    • The school has received widespread media coverage as a result of bouts of hate crime targeted towards homosexual students. Keep and allow for organic development of the article. (My actual vote is up top.) [[User:GRider|GRider\talk]] 19:06, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Schools are inheritantly notable. --Andylkl 19:23, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Much better, and much closer to a keep, for its having something about it other than walls and desks and teachers. Again: donut shops are very interesting to their patrons, but something has to set them apart before they're encyclopedic one-by-one. If this article is rewritten to actually discuss the school's hate crime problem, economics, demographics, conclusions resulting from the hate crimes, measures taken, etc., then it's a keeper. However, 2 lines of text and a link to Salon aren't going to do it. Geogre 19:28, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep it. The article appears to have been modified since it was suggested for deletion and holds potential. It would be great, Geogre, if you would spend less time trying to wipe out valid articles from Wikipedia and rechannel that energy towards making it better by editing. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 22:17, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Gee, thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I've only written one new article in the last 48 hours. Is that enough, or do I need to write some about the things I find in the Yellow Pages? Geogre 22:55, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand current article. I agree with Geogre that there still isn't much here. The original listing was IMO a sure-fire speedy candidate as it was little more than a placeholder for a weblink. - Lucky 6.9 22:40, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • My main concern here is that it was listed on VfD 8 minutes after it was created. This is only furthered by the fact that there is a noteworthy story dealing with this school. My comments weren't meant to be interpreted as sarcastic and I hope Geogre can take to heart the point I was trying to get across. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 23:03, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, expand. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:01, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename to San Marin High School (Novato, CA), not that I think there are other San Marin High Schools, but because all school articles should be named in that fashion. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 01:50, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep.--JuntungWu 03:34, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge into Novato, California and delete - Skysmith 08:37, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Everyking 09:56, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Few schools meet the high bar of notability required to be encyclopedic --Improv 16:59, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment: The above vote was left by User:Improv by way of template "{{User:Improv/vfd_school}}". But I'm sure he read the article first to make sure it was keep-worthy. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 06:55, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Have added more information to the article about school's policies against racial/ethnic/sexual slurs. However, my general policy is that a schools article should advise us of what makes a school notable. These might include famous graduates or people who have taught at the school, notable events that occurred at the school and educational philosophy or specialties that make the school stand out.

  • Delete. An other school, with surprisingly enough some teachers, some students... Gtabary 10:40, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, schools are notable. Wyss 12:29, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, agree with Wyss. --L33tminion | (talk) 21:23, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Hate-crime articles and policy demonstrate notability. --Goobergunch|? 21:37, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
