Matoaca High School
There is nothing notable about this high school Censorwolf 20:34, 15 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep or Merge into school district or town if article is both below three sentances and lacks any sort of illustration, boxed info-template or picture when AFD is closed. This school, like all others, is an important public institution and should be written about somewhere, even if it cannot sustain an article on it's own. Presently people do create school articles containing neutral, verifiable information and it is impossible to delete them, even though many have a desire to do so. Rather than striving for an impossible consensus to delete any given school article, I feel it is always preferable and takes much less energy to merge the text of the article into an article about a suitable habitation or administrative unit: a city, county or state, or a school district of local education authority of other school system, while taking care not to delete the information contained in the article. If the article is merged, the current location should be replaced by a redirect, and the edit history maintained for future use. This is the baseline consensus that I feel was reached at WP:SCH.

 * Keep and Expand. It's a High School. -- JJay 23:58, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep One of 38 articles about high schools in Virginia. Rhollenton 00:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge until it meets WP:SCH proposal.Gateman1997 01:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep based on WP:SCH which requires (for a stand-alone article) three sentences each containing a fact verified by an independent source, which the article (just now) has. A google search on the school name indicates there's a good basis for growth of the article.  --Rob 04:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per precedent on high schools. Could perhaps be merged, but this school has at least a couple of notable alumni and merging in the weblink references might clutter up the Chesterfield article. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:47, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep providing enough information is found. Proto t c 10:51, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep all valid high schools. &mdash; RJH 17:13, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a violation of the long standing precedent to keep articles about high schools.  Silensor 22:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
