Chung Ling High School, Butterworth
Non-notable, delete. Neutralitytalk 04:37, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless wikipedia wants a boring, pointless article for every average school in every country. CDThieme
 * Delete. Substub. Keep if this school is adequately identified ("is a school in Malaysia" doesn't do that). --Tony Sidaway|Talk 05:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC) Keep. Good stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not identified. Gazpacho 05:23, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. I've added links to information on the school's interesting history; will incorporate when I have a chance. (Again – why 24 schools in one day?) Suffice it to say that the information is out there, and can be identified.  --BaronLarf 05:56, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, schools cruft. Megan1967 06:02, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, "things that make you go '-cruft'!" Master Thief Garrett 07:25, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into appropriate location and delete - Skysmith 09:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep.JuntungWu 12:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject should be verifiable. - SimonP 13:25, 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 13:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this fine little article Lupin 14:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The entire text is Chung Ling High School Butterworth or CLB, also known as [SMJK]] (C) Chung Ling, Butterworth is a school in Butterworth, Malaysia. This is a "fine little article"? --Calton | Talk 04:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It's a paste-in. Generic, and probably not thought out too much due to "ALL schools are always notable!!!" mentality. Master Thief Garrett 05:29, 19 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 15:37, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Chung Ling High School. NatusRoma 15:38, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Longhair | Talk 16:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools. Inherently notable (expect to be seeing this posted quite a few times). R Calvete 19:28, 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 20:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the schoolcruft. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:03, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Too many people have such polarized views on school articles that they never even seem to consider the lack or presence of content in the article and its potential for expansion. Unless more can be said about this individual school to merit an individual article than its name and where it is, merge into a list of schools in the location, or if Malaysia has something comparable, an article about the school district.  Don't get so distracted by the fact it's about a school&mdash;that doesn't tell you anything about what to do with this particular article.  Postdlf 21:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * No, but it arguably falls under Speedy Deletion criteria ("Very short articles with little or no context") --Calton | Talk 04:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable.  Quale 23:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as with others. Christopher Parham 00:49, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
 * Merge with Butterworth, Malaysia per my school article policy. Kelly Martin 01:52, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as per Wikipedia's notability policies. If delete fails, merge as above. Jayjg (talk)  21:59, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Little or no useful or encyclopedic content. --Calton | Talk 04:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, need expansion. -- Lochaber 17:27, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lots of articles start out as mere stubs. Expand. Visit Schoolwatch to vote on other schools up for vfd. --Zantastik 18:20, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Delete this unreasonable campaign. Ban nominator. CalJW 18:27, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep until Wikipedia runs out of space. -- BD2412  talk  02:22, 2005 May 20 (UTC)
