Castlebrook High School

Non-notable high school, orphaned article, Google turns up nothing substantial. Seems like promotional fluff. R.E. Freak 05:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There's plenty of "non-notable" schools at WP, of which this is probably one of them. Either a lot more should be deleted or this one should stay. The real problem here is the content. --Richhoncho 11:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Tychocat
Keep (but move to proper capitalisation), verifiable and has at least one significant alumna. JYolkowski // talk 15:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep not a single, verifiable high school has been deleted in the past 2 years of precedent-setting consensus. Subjective observations of a school being "non-notable" are not a valid criterion of deletion of a school. High schools are clearly noteworthy.--Nicodemus75 18:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- There was one exception: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arbor View High School. — RJH (talk)
  - That deletion was a disgrace, and the person who deleted it needs to be banned from Wikipedia for misconduct. Landolitan 18:12, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - I am shocked to find that the user is someone with especially high status in Wikipedia. This shows that the wikipedia model is fatally flawed and doomed. Landolitan 18:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - I have now discovered the the deletion was overturned on deletion review, but I can find no evidence that the deletor was published for his misconduct. Landolitan 18:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        It wasn't overturned; the article was re-created within the provisions of the close, an act which had my full and vocal support. Did you actually read the deletion review? Mackensen (talk) 18:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Obviously, the article in question was re-created following the AfD. The point of my statment above is not dealing with the technicalities of whether or not an article has been deleted, but whether or not the AfD process resulted in an article being expunged from WP. In the case cited, the article was effectively cleaned up as a result of what occurred at AfD and DRV, it wasn't deleted. This has happened before where admins have improperly closed school articles as delete (even in one case where there wasn't even a single delete vote) and the article was revived at DRV. The point is, that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arbor View High School survived the deletion process by being re-created.--Nicodemus75 19:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as schools are important and move to Castlebrook High School. Ramseystreet 22:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just a school in England so no consenus applies, and Hollyoaks actresses are hardly notable. So far we have managed to avoid having every UK school in wikipedia and long may it continue. Catchpole 09:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep — H.S. article meets my criteria for notability. :-) — RJH (talk) 15:08, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable high school. Landolitan 18:12, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep and the long running precedent not to delete these articles. Silensor 19:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As listed above, there are many worthwhile reasons to have articles on every school. My favorite reason is that it's a good way to get schoolkids interested in Wikipedia, since it's something local that they can identify with. We should take every opportunity to educate youth on how they can grow up to be good Wikipedians. I do recommend that it be moved to Castlebrook High School though, for consistency's sake. --Elonka 17:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Secondary level educational institutions and above are inherently notable. Yamaguchi先生 23:20, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Schoolwatch flood above. All schools deserve a chance to flourish in the Encyclopedia. --ForbiddenWord 18:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per wp not being an indiscriminate collection of stuff. I can't think of much that's less discriminate than a list of every school in existence. Valrith 21:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
