West Vancouver Secondary School

 * Tagged on May 19 (also West Vancouver Secondary School,, now a redirect) but not listed on VfD. No vote here. --Nabla 2005-07-06 17:05:53 (UTC)

Vanity page (unfortunately not accomodated by speedy deletion.) Deltabeignet 01:15, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the article without the comma at the end How is this a vanity page? It is a an article on a school. Schools are inherently notable. Needs to be expanded but should be kept. However delete the article with the comma at the end of the name, poorly spelled and unneccessary as the other article exists. -CunningLinguist 03:24, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I cleaned up the article a bit, if anyone can clean it up more please do so. Also this VfD notice should be split up into two seperate VfD pages. It is somewhat tricky nominating these two together because one is a rather obvious delete/move vote (the one with the comma at the end) on the other hand the other is not a clear delete vote, by tying them together you make it harder for people to vote. -CunningLinguist 03:27, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll do a bit more, I can add to the IB section, I'm in IB.-catmka
 * Delete. Just a school as any other school. At least delete the useless redirect. --Nabla 2005-07-06 17:05:53 (UTC)
 * Keep the school, per precedent. I don't think they're notable; however, they are never deleted, so why even bother trying?  Delete the redirect, though.  Also, CunningLinguist, if you check the vanity definition, it makes specific reference to high schools, which is part of the reason I disagree with the pro-school campaign. --Scimitar 6 July 2005 17:15 (UTC)
 * Jimbo doesn't seem to think "school vanity" pages are automatically a bad thing... Kappa 6 July 2005 20:45 (UTC)
 * I'll reply on your talk page. --Scimitar 6 July 2005 21:08 (UTC)
 * Keep. 119 school deletion listings in May/June, only one deletion and that was a copyvio.  Give up and stop wasting time. Apologies, tagged in May, comment not relevant. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 6 July 2005 18:58 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Tony. Jaxl 6 July 2005 19:11 (UTC)
 * Keep please stop wasting our time. CalJW 6 July 2005 20:22 (UTC)
 * Comment. Wasting your time? This is a leftover tag from May!! Apologies accepted--Nabla 2005-07-07 03:48:43 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unencyclopedic.  Let's not get into writing articles about everyone's high school. Sunray July 7, 2005 05:39 (UTC)
 * The debate over inclusion of schools that some have referred to above is, as far as I know, primarily an American one. They have great lists of schools and many articles, mostly unencyclopedic, unverifyable, and boring (to all but a select few).  Let's not go there. Sunray July 7, 2005 16:49 (UTC)
 * If you can find an unverifiable school article, I think we would all vote for deletion. Double Blue  (Talk) 14:09, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Take this one for example. There isn't anything all that controversial in what is said.  Mostly it is just boring non-notable details about a school.  However, if I wanted to verify some of the information, how, short of going to the school, could I do that?  Sunray 15:47, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * The WVSS homepage link. Cheers! Double Blue  (Talk) 16:10, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Nope. The article doesn't seem to rely on the website for some of its info.  Sunray 16:17, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Tony and precedents. Xoloz 7 July 2005 06:11 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; RJH 7 July 2005 17:00 (UTC)
 * Keep, as per DoubleBlue's comment. Mindmatrix 7 July 2005 17:39 (UTC)
 * Delete. Have another spoon. --Idont Havaname 8 July 2005 22:29 (UTC)
 * Keep. School. Pburka 9 July 2005 17:20 (UTC)
 * I'm personally opposed to articles about high schools, because only a very small number of them are ever legitimately notable enough that anybody outside of the city that they're located in is likely to have ever heard of them, but deletion vs. inclusion of high schools is a pretty famous can of worms around these parts. My own vote is for delete all high schools except unusually notable or famous ones, but I'd also vote for moratorium on even bothering to talk about this crap anymore. Bearcat 21:36, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I already voted, but I second that. WP is not a web directory. --Idont Havaname 23:04, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the call for a moratorium seems to have failed... Kappa 23:09, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You are not refering to this nomination, from May 19, are you? I've stumbled on a VfD tagged article... what should I do? Remove the tag? Based on what reasoning? None that I can see, so I've completed the nomination, and it will be kept. What's the problem? - Nabla 13:53:31, 2005-07-13 (UTC)
 * No, I wasn't refering to this nomination, I was refering to Idont Havaname's comment :) Kappa 13:57, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with Bearcat above  -maclean25 05:59, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * keep but why does this have a comma Yuckfoo 22:51, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, because we might as well make a page for every other school if this page is kept. Carson.Talk 01:32, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
