De Shalit high school
Non-notable, delete. Neutralitytalk 05:06, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet. CDThieme 05:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. How many articles on Israeli high schools do we see around here?  All secondary schools are notable.  Etc etc.  --BaronLarf 05:34, 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 05:49, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete until we launch Wikischools. Master Thief Garrett 07:38, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * If there were an effective Wikischools project, I would be inclined to merge schools on Wikipedia into articles reflecting their type/geography (e.g. high schools in California) - but I fear that such a project would be an excuse to shunt them away, not an engine to grow knowledge on them. -- BD2412 thi m k  act  14:08, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
 * The flip side is that, if you just happened upon Wikipedia for the first time, would you be more impressed if you found a dozen pages of the type "[school] is a [type] school in [city], [country]. It goes from grades [x] to [y] and has [z] students", or if you saw a 12-paragraph-long article about all of the high schools in a city?  My guess would be the latter.  Personally, I think that consolidating articles would encourage expansion more than a bunch of individual substubs, and if the article gets too big the individual schools can always be spun out.  While I'm dreaming, it would be nice if people took a top-down approach to creating school articles, by first creating articles on the city and/or schools in the district, and once those are comprehensive, moving on to individual schools.  Anyway, merge and redirect to Rehovot.  JYolkowski // talk 22:33, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Indeed, that's the sort of crap I saw here when I first visited WP back in... 2002? 2003? Somewhere round there. It was mostly crappy and I was unimpressed. As it is we now have thousands of pages' worth of stunning information, but we've still got some crappy hangons. Yes a Wikischools project would seem to be getting rid of them, but then this whole "schools are auto-notable!!!" problem would be gone--it would be THEIR problem to fix and Vfd the schools. Every single one of these school-deletion pages is being made to sound like it's a heartfelt "ethical" debate about things that are essential to the forwarding of mankind's collective consciousness, and that's just bull. Complete and utter bull. Either you vote or you don't, you don't try to make others' votes sound invalid based on their own perverted POV, which is the whole thing the Vfd rests upon for its conclusions.

 * Keep You know the drill. R Calvete 19:50, 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.
