List of Indianapolis public schools
Unencyclopedic list. Was tagged with prod, but the tag was removed and no reason was given. Delete. Fightindaman 20:12, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the schools had articles. When they do, they should go into a category, not a list.  Wh e  re  (talk) 23:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep why is everybody category crazy? Lists and Categories serve two different purposes, if you have one you should have the corresponding other. Jcuk 00:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment:The lovely thing about categories is that they also create lists. Going to Category:Stuff gives you a list of all articles which fit under the heading of "stuff" which are notable enough to have an article.  What is the need for duplicating this in a list article?

 * Comment:To allow for redlinks, which Wikipedia seems to encourage as a method of highlighting articles which have not been written, but could be written about any given subject, and also to allow extra information to be presented which Categories dont allow. Such as "Noted for being the first A from country B to do C." Or whatever. Jcuk 09:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: If somebody were to add such information that you couldn't have in a category I might rethink the deletion, but as it stands now it's just a list of lots of schools that don't have pages yet. That's what userpages or project pages are for. Fightindaman 14:23, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep to preserve red links. Sumahoy 03:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete to get rid of red links. The few blue links resolve to schools elsewhere with the same name. Pointless list. Fan1967 04:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Jcuk, categories != lists. Silensor 23:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Indianapolis Public Schools. Does not need an article just for the list of schools.  Vegaswikian 00:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * keep please these lists are important to have Yuckfoo 01:34, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment:I'd be more convinced of it's importance if even one of the schools listed had an article written about it. Fightindaman 01:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete now we don't just have nn schools but lists of them; probably categories soon too! STOP! Make it all go away! Carlossuarez46 02:46, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * saveAll you can go somewhere and shove it because 1st of all the list can be edited 2nd of all catagories added these schools are needed 3rd of all y'all are just some pipebaggers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tummy08 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment: Please refrain from making personal attacks. Thank you. Fightindaman 05:45, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is what categories are for. People should maybe think about writing articles, which contain things called "sentences" and "paragraphs". -R. fiend 21:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
