 * Delete Hey it's my junior high school! Delete it anyway. howcheng   [ t &#149; c &#149; w &#149;  e  ] 01:08, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the reasons expressed at Schools/Arguments. Please be aware that this nominator has a history of frivolous deletion proposals and is also the subject of an open RFC at Requests for comment/ComCat.  Silensor 01:14, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I think we should discuss the article, not the nominator. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:03, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Silensor .   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  01:20, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, I could find all of that information out via google so we don't need an article. The whole thing is terribly cheery, the school is "outstanding" there are "great" places. It's impossible to salvage without a complete rewrite, but it still wouldn't change the fact that it isn't notable. Broken S 01:43, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per BrokenSegue nn middle school --JAranda &#124; watz sup 01:52, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable middle school despite being named for a famous American writer, unless it is clear before expiration of AfD that someone has made a reasonable start on the "complete rewrite" Broken says it needs. I just listed this on User:GRider/Schoolwatch. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:02, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing vote now that the article has received attention. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:52, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment please stop nominating schools, especially when the nom consists of nothing more than "NN, D". As long as both sides of the debate continue attacking each other in AfD, the issue will never be resolved. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 02:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Cheery is not a valid reason for deletion.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 02:25, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable. --InShaneee 02:35, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I would have more sympathy if we are talking about a HIGH school here instead of a middle school... Olorin28 02:43, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete middle schools (and other items with a default presumption of non-notability) unless (A) they play a key role in the history or development of middle schooling, or pedagogy in general or (B) they are otherwise the subject of sustained interest on the regional, national or international level, or reasonably expected to be so. Neither is asserted in this article. flowersofnight (talk) 03:05, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable school Bwithh 03:18, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm personally in favour of keep schools, but this is so poorly written, and we're not likely to have a Wikipedian that could fix this up, and it's not worth searching one out. I was personally hoping it was named after Bret Hart, from the WWF/WWE. -- user:zanimum

 * Keep as it might help explain some of why Howcheng is Howcheng. :) (That's not meant to be a personal attack, just an expression of interest) Oh, and per Schools/Arguments. Jacqui  ★ 07:31, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Not sure how well it explains me, as it's been over 20 years since junior high (Bret Harte class of 1983). (: -- howcheng  [ t &#149; c &#149; w &#149;  e  ] 07:40, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per flowersofnight, whose vote happens to bring up the same points as my criteria for inclusion for schools below the high school level. --Idont Havaname 07:46, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Schools/Arguments, no need to throw away rob's work. Kappa 08:30, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete totally unimportant topic. In the unfortunate case this is kept it should be moved to Bret Harte Middle School, San Jose, California to bring it in line with other school articles.Gateman1997 18:41, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
