Whitney Young Middle School
Article about a non-notable school. Nothing links to it, is just clutter. &mdash; Frecklefoot | Talk 17:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete nothing in the article asserts notability —M e ts501 talk 17:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge Notable School Hipocrite - &laquo; Talk &raquo; 18:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep if cleaned up a bit. probably rm the statement about it being the shit, and insert some useful info then bobs your uncle. THE KING 18:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Schools are not inherently notable, and nothing in the article itself (or the comments above) indicate to me that there is anything notable, distinctive, or encyclopedic about this particular school. Agent 86 20:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unreferenced statements that, even if sourced, would still not make a middle school particularly (or inherently) notable. -- Kicking222 21:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Decent start on a valid topic. CalJW 21:52, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cleveland Municipal School District (Cleveland, Ohio) or weak keep and expand. I would prefer a short paragraph/article with some info on a school than a entry in a list with just the name; however, I think the case for notability of elementary/middle schools is much weaker than that of high schools. Needs refs on the academic assertions regardless, of course. BryanG(talk) 00:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per User:Agent 86. —   pd_THOR  undefined | 03:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. As much as I think school stubs clutter wikipedia, it's pretty much a lost cause, there's already umpteen school stubs to be found on Wikipedia. See also Schools. Equendil Talk 18:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bad choices in the past are not good reasons for voting keep.  I do not oppose merging the content as mentioned above. Vegaswikian 22:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Well, there's many thousands of similar school stubs on Wikipedia (Category:School stubs), I'm not in favour of Wikipedia listing every single school on the planet, but I'm trying to be consistent. It would be arbitrary of me to call for a delete here while I've left several hundred such stubs go past while on new page patrol. AfDs like this will amount to nothing until such a time the community agrees on criteria for speedy deletion of such entries (Maybe on the 1,000,000th stub ...).

 * Keep as per Schools/Arguments and continue to expand. Silensor 17:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
