Carmel High School (Carmel, California)
Non-notable high school of 750 people and no special significance. Delete. Neutralitytalk 04:49, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless wikipedia wants a boring, pointless article for every average school in every country. CDThieme
 * Keep. Dunno how you can says a school with such a massive number of pupils   is of no special significance. Good stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 05:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. High schools are notable.  Could we limit the number of schools nominated per day to a nice 10 or 15 or so?  Thanks.  --BaronLarf 05:30, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV.  First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge.  Thanks to Neutrality, I've had no time for adding content today. --Unfocused 05:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Subject should be verifiable. - SimonP 13:24, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Encyclopedic, verifiable and NPOV. Meets all agreed-upon Wikipedia standards. Like some others, I will be copy-pasting this to all the high school votes since Neutrality seems to have mass-suggested articles for VfD simply because of a POV judgment of their subject--Cynical 13:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this fine little article Lupin 14:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep -- Longhair | Talk 17:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools. Inherently notable. By the way, what does the size of a school have to do with whether it belongs in an encyclopedia? R Calvete 19:42, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
 * Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world.

 * Keep the schoolcruft. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:05, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Bogus (non-policy) nomination - notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable.  Quale 23:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Carmel, California per my school article policy. Kelly Martin 01:59, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and admonish Neutrality for engaging in WP:POINT by doing mass VfD of schools, when ho knows that all this does is waste time on VfD since there is no extant concencus on schools. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 02:59, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Please don't post out of order, it can get confusing. It should be noted that he openly said (on another Vfd) that he was crawling through the alphabet looking for Vfd-worthy material. Now why is it mostly schools? Because ALL other types of crufty articles are caught soon after creation, but many if not most users have become scared--yes, scared--of nominating schools because of the "All schools are auto-notable! How dare you call them otherwise?!?" crusade. You know full well how biased you are on this issue, and I am unsure as to whether you are seeing him in the best light.

 * Delete = not notable. NoAccount 03:06, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * If someone is going through all articles, then they need to stop the VfD for schools while the criteria is being discussed (again). Adding more VfDs right now may not be the best thing to do. Vegaswikian 06:07, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Really, it's being discussed again? Do you have a link, please? Master Thief Garrett 07:08, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Schools, oddly enough - David Gerard 16:25, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested above. Vegaswikian 06:08, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. High schools are notable, and this article is far better than most stubs we allow, and less obscure than many of them. --Zantastik 02:33, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and delist. Non-notability not established by nominator.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 07:39, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Introduce a limit of 3 nominations per day. CalJW 18:41, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep until Wikipedia runs out of space. -- BD2412  talk  02:38, 2005 May 20 (UTC)
 * Delete until Wikipedia becomes a general information repository, not an encyclopedia. Jayjg (talk) 18:13, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
