Charleston County School of the Arts
Non-notable magnet school, like thousands of others. Establish notability or delete. Neutralitytalk 04:42, May 17, 2005 (UTC) Yuckfoo 18:20, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Good stub. Yet another sally from the robodeletion campaign. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 04:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good stub. Capitalistroadster 05:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet. CDThieme 05:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oooh, looky there! Robovoting now! --Tony Sidaway|Talk 05:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, specialized curriculum. Gazpacho 05:26, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. No notability requirements for high schools.  Etc., etc., see above articles for argument.  --BaronLarf 05:28, 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 05:34, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * keep per Unfocused. Kappa 06:02, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete notability not established, instutional vanity Gmaxwell 06:05, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep DS1953 06:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Magnet schools as a whole is a fascinating article, and I'm glad this Vfd introduced that concept to me, but individual special-interest schools are utterly unnotable--unless we're talking Digipen!!! Now THAT is notable (appeared in Smithsonian and Reader's Digest!) but they've got a crappier article than most of the Vfd'd schools... hmmm *adds to watchlist planning to expand it* Master Thief Garrett 07:30, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into North Charleston, South Carolina and delete - Skysmith 09:23, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep.JuntungWu 12:42, 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 13:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 14:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity. Radiant_* 15:01, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/Consolidate into an article on the local school administrative district. &mdash; RJH 15:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Just for laughs, here's a little story: there was once a wikipedian who saw a whole flood of nominations for deletion. Despite the fact they were probably in bad faith, he decided to go ahead and do something revolutionary: read each article and write a unique response for each. Some say he even visited this article and found it non-notable with no potential for significant expansion. --InShaneee 15:49, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Wow, and here I thought that person was me! Just because he's mass-marked these doesn't mean I'm cut-n-pasting my "thoughts" on the matter like some others here are... *cough*inclusionists*cough* I thought them all through... *goes back to learning about magnet schools* Master Thief Garrett 16:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Longhair | Talk 16:59, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools. Inherently notable (expect to be seeing this posted quite a few times). R Calvete 19:40, 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. Gamaliel 20:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the schoolcruft. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable.  Quale 23:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with North Charleston, South Carolina per my school article policy. Kelly Martin 01:56, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Non-notability not established.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 07:37, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lots of articles start out as mere stubs, and so long as we have an article for individual South Park episodes -- and we should -- then we shouldn't delete school articles. Please visit Schoolwatch to vote on other schools up for vfd. --Zantastik 18:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep These tactics are outrageous. CalJW 18:40, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Magnet schools are more notable than most. Jayjg (talk) 18:11, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please but expand it seems interesting
 * Keep Notable magnet school worthy of inclusion. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 23:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
