Heart Lake Secondary School
Not notable enough. Mandel 18:58, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)

 * Count in 3 more delete votes from Improv, WOT and Vina. See above. Mandel 09:16, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. It is frequently alleged that articles on very obscure topics, such as schools, are rarely verified, and that the information on them is unlikely to be kept up to date. The fact that an anon actually checked the information and found that half the content of the article was wrong shows that this allegation has merit. It is frequently asserted that school stubs should be kept so that they "will grow." Stubs do not grow, absent a dedicated community of people with a serious commitment to writing encyclopedic-quality articles about the topic area. The fact that this stub has not grown since February 9th, 2004, suggests that no such community exists for school articles. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:37, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Jayjg 16:42, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * D Probably only just missed out on being classified as a "newbie test". Chris 02:53, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. NeoJustin 04:36 Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - factual, verifiable entry. Mark Richards 17:11, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep this. Schools are notable. Notability is not a deletion criteria. Intrigue 21:11, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Indrian 20:49, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

Comment NSK (nsk2@wikinerds.org) has stated that Wikinerds, an all-encompassing "knowledge base" rather than an encyclopedia, is interested in having all VfD-ed articles resubmitted to them. I have submitted this one to them. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:35, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * Thank goodness there's a place to submit all these stubby school articles. I hear that anthony depiero wants to start something like a school database for all schools, small or big, notable or otherwise.  Now that's the place to visit.  Before I get slammed further, I'll keep my mouth shut. Mandel 19:42, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
 * Does that make Anthony notable enough for a WP article? ;o) Chris 02:22, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
