Buffalo Grove High School

Keep schools. Inherently notable. R Calvete 01:37, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
Delete. →Iñgōlemo← ^talk 02:24, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
Keep - notable school. DS1953 02:28, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Marginally notable in that it is a high school; article needs help. Rlquall 03:03, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world.

Keep. This school is ranked #953 on Newsweek's list of the Best High Schools in America. -- BD2412 ^thimkact 03:39, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
- That 953 ranking means in all likelyhood it isn't even in the top 20 in the state of California alone. Quale 04:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clear signs of organic growth. Excellent. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:55, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, verifiable - SimonP 04:03, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Non-notable. Quale 04:09, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless wikipedia wants a boring, pointless article for every average school in every country. CDThieme
Keep Some people act like gatekeepers trying to keep knowledge OUT of the Wiki! --Unfocused 04:44, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the usual reasons. Kelly Martin 05:17, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Delete Instutional vanity, useless trivia. Gmaxwell 05:26, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Buffalo Grove, as the article does not indicate any notability beyond the local area. It isn't even the best school in the area, the neigbouring Adlai E Stevenson High School is in the top 100 in the country. Average Earthman 08:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree - Skysmith 09:55, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, nn. R adiant _* 14:35, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless we want to start declaring articles such as Warcraft player currently ranked 493rd. Notability not even close to established. --InShaneee 14:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 15:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Buffalo Grove and Redirect to the created section in the Buffalo Grove article. If it becomes a complete article while there it can always be cut and pasted to create a new article. We all need to remember that something does not need to be an article title to be found. You can even create wiki links to sections of other articles. Search is a wonderful tool.

Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 22:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It is an ACCEPTED and valid reason to include with a delete vote. The deletion criteria are not written down officially or thoroughly, and are not explicit (i.e., anything not covered is excluded). Until such time comes (read: never), people can say "non-notable", "vain", "cruft", and other fun terms all they like thank you very much. Don't gimme this bull. Master Thief Garrett 05:56, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All schools are notable by nature. Verifiable and NPOV. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, ergo it is encyclopaedic. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 13:20, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
