The Steven Gao Controversy
The article is about an incident that is not particularly notable concerning an otherwise unnotable individual. No widespread fame of the incident or lasting implications. The salient points of the article have already been included at Cherry Hill High School East&mdash;and sufficiently covered in one paragraph&mdash;so no further merge is necessary. —C.Fred (talk) 02:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Calm down people, I made it for my cousin. Delete if you want. --72.1.206.12 16:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Thank you. I would like to say keep. THis isn't small news, it made international (To some degree) news. --Adam Wang 02:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Disclosure: The above editor is the primary editor for the article's content. —C.Fred (talk) 02:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

*If you want to keep it, then why did you nominate it for AfD? --Mr. L e fty Talk to me! 02:20, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I nominated the article; Adam chimed in before I could finish posting the nomination. For clarity's sake, my position remains delete. —C.Fred (talk) 02:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this is a news story. Like when CNN shows a bear stuck in a tree.  It has overstated significance.  AdamBiswanger1 02:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Cherry Hill High School East. This "controversy" was limited to that school and its local community. Capitalistroadster 02:48, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't think anybody would be searching for "The Steven Gao controversy", so I see no need to keep it as a redirect. I don't even think Steven Gao is a likely enough search term to have it as a redirect; I would favor that redirect being deleted if the article is deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 03:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a forum for people to air their personal grievances about minor High School incidents. Does not rise to the level of a Wikipedia article. Gwernol 03:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, NN, vanity; I must admit that it is hard to find the words to describe just how non-notable this is.  This sort of thing happens at every high school every couple of years.  --Deville (Talk) 03:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.   ''Em-jay-es  04:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Prank turned slightly sour, except the kid everyone will have forgotten this within a year. Hence, non-notable. -- Koffieyahoo 05:26, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:NPOV, WP:NFT (well, it was a school prank), and Wikipedia is not a soapbox. --Coredesat 05:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above + this quote This was not a minor high school thing Um.  Yes.  It was.  -- Alphachimp   talk  06:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:POV, WP:NN, WP:NFT, WP:HORRIBLE SPELLING ... This entire episode reflects upon the stuborness and inefficiency of the Cherry Hill School Board. Say no more. ~ trialsanderrors 06:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete con fuoco. I was trying to be nice when I redirected it. RasputinAXP   c  12:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. TomTheHand 16:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
