Claude Watson School for the Arts
Magnet elementary/middle school. Can't we merge this into education in Toronto or something? In any case delete the article/redirect. Neutralitytalk 04:32, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet. CDThieme
 * Keep. Nice little stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 04:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, specialized curriculum makes it notable. Gazpacho 05:20, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into applicable school district. Would do more research, but there's already 24 other schools up for deletion today. Am tempted to vote keep out of spite, but controlling myself. --BaronLarf 05:22, 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 05:26, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, possibly merge. Kappa 06:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not Triviapedia. Instutional vanity Gmaxwell 06:09, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable as a specialized school DS1953 06:26, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, if I came across this via Special:Randompage I wouldn't say "hmmmm!" I'd say "boring!". It has to win the casual reader over, to prove it is interesting and notable. Master Thief Garrett 07:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into appropriate education district in Toronto and delete - Skysmith 09:16, 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 13:37, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this fine little article Lupin 14:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 14:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity. Radiant_* 15:02, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * As CDThieme says, Delete unless Wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet.--Mitsukai 15:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/Consolidate into an article on the local school district. &mdash; RJH 15:35, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Longhair | Talk 16:57, 17 May 2005 (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. 21:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable.  Quale 23:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as with others. Christopher Parham 00:47, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
 * Merge with Willowdale per my school article policy. Kelly Martin 01:51, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable. Jayjg (talk) 21:47, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a nice little stub -- let it grow. Visit Schoolwatch for a list of vfds for high school articles. --Zantastik 02:57, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * "Every time that I plant a seed // He said, "kill it before it grows."" Is this article going to grow at all? Hmmm... no. *pours weedkiller on it* Master Thief Garrett 03:44, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pointless institutional vanity. --Calton | Talk 04:47, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, need expansion. -- Lochaber 17:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Delete nominator's account instead. CalJW 18:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete = not notable. NoAccount 02:51, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools in wikipedia. -dozenist 05:29, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep/cleanup/improve. Magnet schools are extremely rare in Canada compared to the United States. (With no forced bussing issues to navigate, we missed that silver lining...) Samaritan 01:20, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable school worthy of inclusion. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 23:29, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
