Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of high schools in Alberta

Banter removed from AFD

 * I took a look at purposes of lists and I think I'm actually a little appalled at how.. broad it can be. Why do schools get notability?  I plan on expanding my objections to this to other pages.  When I saw this particular page nominated, it seemed reasonable to assume that not every highschool in the world is notable enough to get a wikipedia mention, and the list simply lists every school in Alberta.  The justifications for this at WP:OUTCOMES are decidedly insane.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drvoke (talk • contribs) 23:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You're seeing another example of systemic bias on Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia's editors tend to be nerdy teens and early-twenty-somethings, they consider highschools to be disproportionately important as a result of the recentness of their exposure to it.  It's the same reason light saber is longer than saber, and Pikachu is longer than Grendel. SmashTheState (talk) 04:15, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
