 * Delete I personally think this is a case of overcatergorisation, with respect to lists. There's already a List of high schools in Missouri, so this merely duplicates that and presents itself as a bit of a content fork. Funny  Pika! 08:07, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - This is a list of all high school athletic conferences in the state of Missouri. That's a logical breakdown.  There are similar lists for other states.  I agree it should be referenced but that's not the issue.  I checked it with the ones I now including obscure ones with small schools and it is correct.Americasroof (talk) 10:58, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * All of those should go then. This is completely irrelevant junk, and it is not what Wikipedia is for. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 11:34, 30 March 2013 (UTC)


 * KEEP -- I fail to see what real harm it is causing to anyone while conversly providing a valuable resource and quick breakdown by conference for those researching Missouri high school sports. If Wikipedia isn't for providing information, no matter how trivial some may consider it then why are we all spending our time editing and creating articles? Sector001 (talk) 16:29, 1 April 2013 (UTC) UPDATE - I have now added a reference to the article, if a somewhat complicated one. Conference membership is confirmed by the link provided.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - Not a content fork, this actually strikes me as an extremely useful basic arrangement of a more or less non-dynamic data set. Valid navigational function for those querying WP in search of sports information, a useful index of articles. Carrite (talk) 19:02, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Carrite. There might other ways to accomplish this, of course, but the article here seems to do a fine job. It really is the best option that does not involve a massive sortable table. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:52, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep As a fan of lists, it's a bittersweet experience when I find a really good one on this page, knowing that it may not be around much longer.  Glad to see that so far the votes seem to be on the 'keep' side. Listmeister (talk) 18:08, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
