Fred C. Beyer High School

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable Californian high school. Does not appear to meet the guidelines on Schools. Almost nothing links to it. Also, has suffered a ridiculous amount of vandalism, presumably by its students; it would save a lot of trouble all round if it were deleted. Terraxos 01:24, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge into the school district article (if it has one), non-notable school. TJ Spyke 01:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Schools is not an accepted guideline and the proposed content is higly disputed. Vandalism is not a reason for deletion. Nominator should become familiar with the policies and guidelines before becoming invloved in AfD. --Kevin Murray 02:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The article does not establish notability, and does little more than confirme the school exists. TJ Spyke 02:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * DeleteNot the least indication of anything potentially N.DGG 03:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with a school district article if one exists, otherwise weak delete unless expanded. WP:SCHOOL is only proposed, and attracting vandalism is not a reason to delete. Nonetheless, this article currently doesn't do much to assert notability. BryanG(talk) 05:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Change to keep per Chris Croy's additions. BryanG(talk) 20:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Every American high school nominated for deletion ends up with the same discussion.  People who don't think high schools are inherently notable vote delete and people who do think they are inherently notable vote keep.  I thinks steps should be made to address the inherent notability of schools before this discussion is repeated another 100 times. Johnn 7 16:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SCHOOL]. The point of having such a guideline is to avoid repeating the same arguments in every afd. Inkpaduta 20:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I've added links to four non-trivial articles discussing the school, albeit two discuss the same story. It won an international award for its marching band and has a notable alumni.  It passes the notability test.Chris Croy 21:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * keep, especially per the refs and Chris Croy's links. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 21:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep given the links, it's N, but barely.DGG 01:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep As a former student, I would not consider this school non-notable. If you need me to write something about it to turn the "delete" votes into "keep" votes, give me a list of topics and I'll do some research.  I can also take photos.  I also noticed the vandalism; I have no idea why that has happened, as when I attended people would not have been prone to such blatant, idiotic edits.  I believe if something substantial were written about the school, it would stand up to the vandalism much better.  But I don't think it should simply be deleted. Arden 03:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep all schools are notable and the article references secondary sources. Vandalism is not a criteria for deletion. AntiVan 07:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep There are plenty of High Schools articles, some at much smaller cities (ex: Plainfield, Illinois). If Planfield High School has an article, why shouldn't this - it has a higher enrollment then many Canadian High schools.JForget 00:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Would like to see this worked on a bit before making up my mind. WMMartin 16:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Most/all high schools are notable. - grubber 22:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It's a high school, therefore inherently notable, as I argue here. Noroton 05:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
