Jeppe High School for Boys
Delete, create article for all the Jeppe schools and merge. Toasthaven2 18:00, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand considerably. --Irishpunktom\talk 18:53, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, doesn't indicate notability. Gazpacho 19:47, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It's a school. I've categorised it. CalJW 21:26, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please it is a school and we have been over this how many times already Yuckfoo 21:46, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Their site is well-designed and goes into nice depth, but I don't see any notable alumni listed anywhere (despite the school's existing for over 100 years).  It's pretty much just a local school with little if any non-local impact, and not even worth merging into Gauteng because only universities are included in that article.  "It's a school" is not a reason for keeping it. --Idont Havaname 21:51, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dunc. I love the "despite the Cabal's best attempts to promote that silly idea" comment. :-) --Idont Havaname 22:02, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Schools aren't inherently notable, despite the Cabal's best attempts to promote that silly idea. However, this one seems to be.  Try Special:whatlinkshere/Jeppe High School for Boys for old boys (unfortunately their page entitled Well known old boys lists none!). Dunc|&#9786; 21:54, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dunc, though explicitly not as part of precedent (will there ever be consensus on the schools thing?) Shimgray 22:09, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the purpose of ending school VfD debates. Xoloz 04:59, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Bicycle. For the usual reasons.   &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 05:55, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * TINC, and also Fnord. So there, I voted twice! So sue me. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 14:20, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Fortified Keep &mdash; the usual reasons. &mdash; RJH 15:06, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete boderline notable at best. JamesBurns 03:14, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just look at that list of alumni. There can be no valid objection on notability grounds, even if such grounds applied to schools. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 18:44, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. appears notable for its history and alumni Salsb 00:10, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Fish, as above. --Carnildo 04:39, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, the school seems to have contributed to society over the last 100+ years. Vegaswikian 00:10, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable school. DS1953 04:19, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Indicates notability in the title. Grace Note 04:27, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I enjoy voting keep on schools, it gives me a warm glow inside. Luckily they are under no real threat any longer. Kappa 23:21, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
