 * Keep a good a stub on a worthwhile school. --rob 05:38, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, good stub, well done Silensor and rob. Also per Schools/Arguments. Kappa 06:09, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Kappa and rob. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reyk (talk • contribs) Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:11, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete - No assertion of notability. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 08:50, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, harmless school article. &mdash; J I P | Talk 08:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as Community Consolidated School District 54 already contains all the information Wikipedia should have about this school. Maybe a redirect is in order as well. flowersofnight 13:15, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per User:A_Man_In_Black Pilatus 13:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep There are thousands of school articles and well over ah hundred are added each week. Nominating the odd one for deletion achieves nothing except the generation of conflict. CalJW 14:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Experienced users nominating schools are just wasting everyone's time. Novice users nominating schools are making mistakes. I will assume the later. Hipocrite - &laquo; Talk &raquo; 15:23, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Schools/Arguments, and at this point I think people nominating schools are violating WP:POINT. It's "gaming the system" to try and kill a few school articles and keep wasting the time of people on AfD, because it has become clear that the vast majority of these will pass. --Jacquelyn Marie 15:48, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, and please stop making threats.Gateman1997 20:16, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Er, that wasn't a threat. I'd apologize, but I'm trying to figure out where you got that idea in the first place, so I would know what I was apologizing for. --Jacquelyn Marie 23:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Factual, verifiable and neutral. And please stop AFD Spamming. Trollderella 16:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep and please stop nominating these schools we get your point but this is a waste of time now Yuckfoo 17:10, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete nn Middle School --JAranda &#124; watz sup 20:45, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, schools are not inherently notable. Am I the only one who thinks that a SchoolsAreNotInherentlyNotable template and a KeepPerWPSchool template would be really handy? Lord Bob 21:43, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not-notable. Plus, many school noms have been "no-consensus", not keeps. Saying we should stop nominating NN schools for deletion is like saying people should not vote for opposition political parties because there is a government already in power. How about some statistics on the number of pageviews that these stubs get?--inksT 22:29, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article fails to establish notability. --Carnildo 22:37, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. mikka (t) 22:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete another non-notable school. The Golden Apple winning teacher is far worthier of an article. 'Course he's a person, so he can't have one. Denni &#9775; 01:44, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, verifiable. JYolkowski // talk 02:28, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and stop nominating schools until there is consensus on them --Ryan Delaney talk 03:34, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep See my argument at this page. Xoloz 03:37, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete unnotable crap please. Dunc|&#9786; 10:19, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Since you said please, here is your "unnotable c**p". --rob 10:46, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn school. Dottore So 13:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, it seems an interesting school. Evil Eye 16:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, verifiable, and worthy to include - it is credible and well written and thus there is more good than harm including it in. -- Natalinasmpf 19:43, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * We keep articles on obscure wheeled metal boxes, so we can and should keep articles on enduring public institutions. --Centauri 23:13, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, there is no official Wikipedia policy against public schools. --Aleron235 15:03, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. 85%-90% of all school nominations in the past year have resulted in the articles in question not being deleted. Irrespective of the fact that about 40% of that number were ruled to be "no consensus", the deletion policies of WP clearly instruct that "no consensus" results are kept. As a matter of process, policy and resulting precedent school articles on WP are not deleted by virtue of either being stubs or "non-notable". Please respect exisiting precedent with respect to school articles.--Nicodemus75 22:02, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Important distinction: No concensus does not equate to a concensus to keep, and should not be presented as such.--inksT 08:31, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Irrelvant comment. I never said there is a "consensus to keep", I said there is a precedent.--Nicodemus75 08:36, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
