• Delete per the argument against school articles at WP:SCHOOL. Eusebeus 17:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. School articles should be kept so that school AfDs don't absorb editor time that could be better used doing other things. --Eastmain 22:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

"Keep so we don't have to do work to delete them" is, in my opinion, a fairly weak argument. Either the article meets policy and guidelines or it doesn't. If deleting articles means extra work, oh well. Dugwiki 22:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I Agree with Dugwiki. That's not an argument for keeping at all. In fact, by that logic, no page should ever be deleted, and Wikipedia should just mere become free hosting. — Swpb ^{talk contribs} 23:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment The only reference in the article is not independent of the school. I would be more comfortable keeping the article if it can provide published references independent of the school itself. If it can't do that, I'd lean toward deletion Dugwiki 23:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable. Soltak | Talk 23:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• delete School articles should all be deleted to save time so that school AfDs don't take up our valuable time. It's as good an argument as the opposite.(smile) DGG 06:23, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability not shown, and independent references/sources are inadequate. WMMartin 16:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• keep no offensive we should be keeping all the school articles enough said no matter noteable or not if they exist the school should be allowed to stay okOo7565 16:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

No, that's no OK. You don't even claim that all schools are notable, instead insisting that schools should be kept, notable or not. Why? Soltak | Talk 19:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• comment i ment All high schools/ upper leval schoold anywhere in the world how smail they might be should be kept because someone could add more information on them. to be honest i been trying to start an article every high school in the USA when i start the page adding a little amount of information than add the Expand tag so other people can expand the article to mold it to a bigger and better one so all i am saying that how big or small high schools should be inclueld here on wikipedia even if they noteable or not i hope explanes my view if not i will try again later okOo7565 21:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

You basically repeated the same argument I questioned before but with more words this time. I'm still confused as to why you want to include what you admit might be non-notable material. Because it some day might become notable? Soltak | Talk 22:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment let me try this again i hope this helps it my not who knows. The information whick might seems non noteabel to you and me it might mean a lot to someone who goes or went to that school which make them proud to part of the school. one more thing at least my mind we (all) of us have no right to say schools are noteabel or not i hope this helps if not if you do not mind i will try again but this time maybe leave meassage on my talk page instead of here okOo7565 22:56, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to leave a message on your talk page only because I think this exchange is relevant to the AfD discussion. Your argument is flawed in that your basic reason for inclusion is that "it might be notable to someone". Notability is not subjective. In addition, I'm proud of my old high school but it doesn't have an article and I wouldn't presume to create one. Why not? It's not notable. Again, I must stress: Notability is not subjective. Soltak | Talk 23:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• one more thing i guess we agree to disagree as well there a lot more artlices (schools) and other subject non noteabel as well unless you to ged of of those in my myes noteabel is subsective holds no waterOo7565 23:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia:Inclusion is not an indicator of notability — Swpb ^{talk contribs} 17:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

8 COMMENT thats my point that this is inculusion does not mean is noteabel i understand that but also my point is there other things along with schools someone could agrue that they are non noteabel as well so unless you want to delete those articles as well in my point of view you have no legs to stand onOo7565 19:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I believe I understand your point, and I believe you don't understand mine - the point of the essay is that the inclusion of other articles, no matter their notability, has no bearing on the notability of this article. — Swpb ^{talk contribs} 20:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
