List of high schools in New York City – Manhattan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Subst and delete There is no reason why these borough-by-borough lists can't simply be part of the main article List of high schools in New York City, it makes editing harder and doesn't help the reader. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 19:01, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Question. This nomination is a little confusing because List of high schools in New York City is also marked for AfD. Is that just a transclusion glitch?  --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:17, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. The main page is not nominated for deletion. The AFD notices from the transcluded pages were showing through to the main page because the nominator misplaced the AFD notices on each sub-page. I have corrected that now. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 01:20, 9 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep All - Valid navigational function for these sourced lists. Carrite (talk) 00:04, 9 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. I was the user who originally broke List of high schools in New York City into five transcluded pages for the five boroughs to make editing of individual boroughs easier. The original page with all five boroughs was so long that it was difficult to edit and maintain. (Note that there are over 750 external links and hundreds of wikilinks on the combined pages.) Transcluding the five boroughs into one master page works perfectly well and is within Wikipedia policy. See Transclusion. The nominator apparently wants to recombine all five borough articles into one massive article but not delete the master page. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 01:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Correct. The main page is not nominated and by all means should be kept. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 02:05, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep all. Given the size of New York City, it is perfectly valid to have separate lists for the five boroughs, then to combine them via transclusion. --Orlady (talk) 13:53, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep all as per other editors - breaking down into manageable chunks is appropriate. --Simple Boba.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 12:56, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep NYC is a big place, I am sure it will help those looking for schools to have a good list. Has anyone seen "Waiting for Superman"?? Sounds like a hard place to be in, looking for a public school in the USA Jtbobwaysf (talk) 13:47, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
