Fox Chapel Middle School
Article is about a nn middle school, an reads as bordeline nonsense/attack page. Speedy and prod removed by author, whom I suspect is a studetn of the school. Either delete or someone with better knowledge of the shcool do a SERIOUS re-write. Wildthing61476 05:21, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Run-of-the-mill middle schools aren't encyclopedic. Shimeru 06:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. My Alt Account 07:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - No content save single sentence and infobox, Wikipedia is not a directory of schools. Catchpole 09:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. I removed all the attacks and nonsense, which left one sentence. Herostratus 03:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's an okay stub now that can be expanded. The school has about 1200 students and is certainly notable. bbx 11:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and allow for organic growth. Some of us believe that these "run-of-the-mill" topics are in actuality quite important.  Bahn Mi 15:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per the reasons described at User:Silensor/Schools. Also meets the failed/proposed/ever-changing WP:SCHOOL guidelines with 27 non-trivial LexisNexis hits.  Please contact me if you would like to assist me with the expansion of this article, there is a lot of content available to work from.  Silensor 22:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Silensor. I believe this article should continue to exist to allow for organic growth.  --Myles Long 22:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep per Silensor, the school has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the school itself (taken from WP:SCHOOL). RFerreira 00:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article has been redone and has numerous references. School made headlines with the arrest of ten year old. Clearly this is on its way to becoming a model for our encyclopedic middle school coverage. I would ask Delete "voters" and the nom to update their comments to reflect the new article. --JJay 21:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Content remains trivial, requires a little bit more than fluff about butter knives to make an encyclopedic article. How about a separate wiki for schools? Catchpole 21:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Schools are an important part of the Wikipedia landscape, much like train stations and small towns. If you disagree, you are welcome to WP:FORK at any time.  Silensor 01:38, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Seeing has how the article has been greatly cleaned up, and I am glad for that, the article merits some inclusion. My original AfD was to stop the petty vandalism going on on the page, and to HOPE some kind souls would take notice and clean it up. I felt a cleanup tag would not have sufficed in that case. I wish to withdraw my nomination, and believe the article should stay. Wildthing61476 23:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per the noms withdrawal. Arbusto 00:59, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
