• Delete --fvw* 14:29, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)
• Keep - I like it! --Is Mise le Méas, Irishpunktom 14:50, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep - Lincoln Way is currently the top school district in one of the most important and populated states in the US (Illinois) I feel that these accomplishment consitute a place in Wikipedia. --Nick Martin 14:52, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. JuntungWu 15:19, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Keep it Wyss 21:09, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, unless we also want every post office in the US ("a public building") or every donut shop ("affects thousands of lives"). Geogre 22:15, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  Your point being? --Centauri 01:41, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  Let's get the schools done first, Geogre, then we can move on to less significant buildings.Dr Zen 05:31, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Copyvio? A Google search on ""Lincoln-Way opened its doors to students for the first time" finds two still-cached but unavailable pages, which look like they already have this content. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:48, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)

  I am unable to find anything that indicates that this is infact a copyright violation of any kind, but just to be on the safe side I decided to be bold and have refactored and streamlined this article significantly. Its a great piece of history and needn't be lost. GRider\^talk 23:07, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  you realize a refactor of a copyvio is still a copyvio. --Eean 08:20, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Merge to relevant cities (see Skysmith's comment). --Idont Havaname 23:12, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep if it is not a copyvio. Otherwise it is a fine article. older≠wiser 03:25, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
  • Looking more closely at this, it does appear to be a pretty blatant copyvio from [2]. The article needs to be re-written to get rid of the copyvio. If this survives VfD as is, it should be listed on Wikipedia:Copyright problems. older≠wiser 13:39, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete and (if you feel you have to) start from scratch. It's not a copyvio anymore. It's a derivative of a copyvio, which is just as bad. —Korath (Talk) 03:45, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep, yawn, when will people learn? James F. (talk) 05:04, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Yet another deletionist troll. Dr Zen 05:27, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I am a deletionist, but not a troll. utcursch 04:44, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
• Can I please have everyone's attention? COPYVIO. This article is one. Copyvios are reported and deleted. Voting to keep won't save this article. - Vague | Rant 08:08, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
  • Last I checked, you can't copyright plain facts. Otherwise, please cite the violation if you're not a deletionist troll. —RaD Man (talk) 11:35, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • [3]. I don't appreciate the implied accusation. - Vague | Rant 08:02, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep it, obviously. —RaD Man (talk) 11:30, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep Its a well-written article. Whats wrong with High Schools having their own entrys? Roodog2k 20:07, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Well, unless its a copyvio, of course... Roodog2k 20:09, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep I don't see why Wikipedia shouldn't aspire to have an article on every high school in the world. They are all of actual or potential interest to thousands of people, and there's no where else that you can find details of all of themPhilip 00:13, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

OK. I am convinced that this is a notable school and I am removing vfd header. And I am not a deletionist troll. utcursch 04:44, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
