Failed Speedy delete. (This is not an 'All schools are notable versus school cruft' debate!) The problem that this 'article' produces is a common one. Obviously written by a student, it is barely literate. Now it could be kept on the basis that it might be cleaned up and expanded (though it is improbable that it will); OTOH do we want this sort of low grade stuff hanging around in a serious encyclopaedia? There are loads of these being produced so I think we need a proper discussion as to what to do. BlueValour 04:05, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete, without prejudice, unless it is properly rewritten by the time this AfD nomination closes. Agree with nom, the subject is possibly encyclopedic, but the contents is definitely not; since there are likely nearly no real editors with knowledge of this school, there is no point in having this sort of stuff here. ikh (talk) 04:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep has been cleaned up; appears to be notable. ikh (talk) 18:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or else put in some real information that someone can actually use. --BennyD 05:00, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete no claims of notability what-so-ever. --Eivind^t@c 07:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I would have suggested "prod"ing it first in case someone actually wanted to fic it up, but oh well. Viridae 08:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, no context, no claims of notability. --Coredesat 08:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and clean up, obviously. At least one notable former pupil, and the article is bound to have scope for expansion. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 11:23, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, claims of all high schools being notable are empty and without logical basis. No claims of notability made, and none found beyond once having a current sportsman as a pupil. - Motor (talk) 13:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for pretty much all the reasons given by the nomionator. These sorts of articles are beginning to become a problem Ydam 13:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - per Motor. I've always been against the whole "high schools are all notable" mode of thought. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 13:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. If it was badly written, it looks like it has now been cleaned up. I have no objection to articles with interest only to a minority, as long as they don't violate policy. David L Rattigan 13:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, and cleanup. Nationalparks 14:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. I have wikified and updated the article. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 14:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. --Arnzy ^{(whats up?)} 14:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep cleaned up and some notable things mentioned. --Arnzy ^{(whats up?)} 00:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep article has been cleaned up and is now worth keeping. Gwernol 15:02, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete despite the rewrite. Pascal.Tesson 16:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Looks fine now. Honbicot 16:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The first time I visited Wikipedia I looked up my school. Then I clicked on one of the links to an alumnus and amended it (this was long before I had an account). If there had been no article about the school I might never have visited Wikipedia again. Golfcam 16:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Some work has been done and it looks fine now. At least a couple of notable things mentioned.--MichaelMaggs 17:05, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Problem solved. Olborne 17:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep --TonyM ^{ｷﾀ━( °∀° )━ｯ!!} 17:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment If you come across more of these, best idea is to PROD it and add a {{cleanup-school}} tag so those interesting in maintaing school articles become aware of it and may clean it up.--Isotope23 17:39, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - an excellent outcome. Isotope23's PROD suggestion is one that I will implement. BlueValour 18:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep — Per above works for me. — RJH (talk) 18:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. In the future some cleanup template variant should do. Silensor 20:51, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Yes, I really am voting to keep a school article. It's better now and seems to be more notable than the other schools I've voted to delete. --Coredesat talk 22:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep high school articles should be kept.--Konstable 03:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I think efforts would be better spent cleaning these articles up than nominating them for deletion.--Konstable 03:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Agreed, [1]. Nationalparks 13:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• keep please we should be expanding instead not erasing Yuckfoo 18:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The article is better than before. --TruthbringerToronto 01:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Admin-Speedy Keep - the rubbish that was there before has gone and this article has been cleanedup sufficiently for it to be encyclopaedic. I therefore withdraw the nomination. BlueValour 02:46, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
