 * Like usual, merge with Cerritos, California in order to satisfy our friends the inclusionists ;) [not that I'm a deletionist though]. &mdash; Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ) '' 04:17, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree is Postdif. Article has been expanded to warrant a keep, provided it's linked to properly. &mdash; Ilγαηερ   (Tαlκ) '' 03:58, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as above. Postdlf 05:06, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article expanded enough to justify independent article.  Postdlf 23:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as no influence outside the school's geographical area. Average Earthman 07:23, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Definitely expand and keep. Whitney High's claim to being a Wikipedia topic in its own right does not rest exclusively or decisively on its being a highly rated magnet school in California's public education system.  It is also the subject of a widely reviewed volume, School of Dreams, written by the Pulitzer prizewinning journalist Edward Humes, , .  Humes uses this book-length case study of Whitney High to bring to national attention the pressures endured by the students of America's selective schools as they strive to give their families nachas through their academic and future professional accomplishments, and interrogates the "wisdom" of educating children in such a hectic learning environment.--Defrosted 07:51, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per Ilyanep. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:06, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge sounds good. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 09:31, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Leave it alone! Jeez - take another look at the article! Sure it looked kinda useless and stubby to begin with, but I had barely gotton started on it! Check it out now, and reconsider. (Calm down, you overzealous deletionists!  : ) Eric 13:43, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good work, Eric. -- Visviva 15:23, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think, but strip out all the random bolding of insignificant bits of text. It's very distracting. David | Talk 15:30, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, for once a notable school. Proto t c 15:53, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, continue to expand. --BaronLarf 15:58, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge: No indication that this place has any individual character that sets it apart from largely identical institutions performing identical actions. It's a box of kids and teachers.  Geogre 16:46, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Being the subject of a book by a Pulitzer Prize winning author Edward Humes makes it notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 17:22, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. Double Blue  (Talk) 18:06, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep informative, interesting, notable. Themindset 18:40, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep being the subject of "School of Dreams" is notable by itself Salsb 21:00, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge, per the nice reasoning given by Geogre. --Idont Havaname 22:21, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep all boxes of kids and teachers. Grace Note 04:05, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the purpose of ending school VfD debates. Xoloz 05:08, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
