Jordan Middle School

• Nobody has edited this page since I have introduced the vfd, I am now choosing to Delete this page. --BrenDJ 17:42, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 03:45, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Same reason as always.--Gene_poole 05:53, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete same reason as always, lack of content and small likelihood there will ever be any. This school is in my hometown, btw, and it's a great school, but still doesn't merit encyclopedia status. —Wahoofive | Talk 05:56, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Make a mention in Palo Alto, California and delete - Skysmith 07:59, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Another non-notable school. --Bucephalus 11:00, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Only of local geographic interest, and the existence of this school is already mentioned in the Palo Alto, California article. Average Earthman 12:12, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per the above. ]Radiant_* 15:56, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
• User:Dr Zen/keepschools —RaD Man (talk) 18:22, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons stated by Wahoofive (except the "same as always" part among VfD regulars). Schools for students younger than US "high schools" have a higher bar of notability under WP school guidelines. I don't see a reason to keep a redirect, since there's no significant content we need to keep for history / GFDL attribution. Barno 20:20, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, just another middle school. Rje 21:49, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Hedley 21:50, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Article fails to establish notability. --Carnildo 23:27, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Its a school. It has x number of students in certain grades. It is named after a person. It has a mascot. It has cross-town rivals. Nothing here to set it apart from thousands of other institutions. Indrian 00:55, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable Palo Alto middle school. I just added some material on the school's administration and library. All schools are notable enough for a truly great encyclopaedia. Klonimus 01:38, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Schools are notable.--BaronLarf 02:12, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Having read the stub, I agree with Indrian. Jonathunder 02:24, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)
• Delete, school vanity. Dave the Red (talk) 04:49, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, necessary to coverage of its local area. Kappa 06:25, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable' Noisy | Talk 07:31, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for the reason Inrian gave. When it comes to schools I'm a deletionist. I generally have no problems with things like fancruft but I don't feel that anything interesitng can be said about the average school. Jeltz talk 14:38, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • School's are inherently interesting and worthy of being a great encyclopedia. I am slightly annoyed that someone reverted my attempt to add information about the school. This is very illustrative of deletionist, obscurantism Klonimus 22:01, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, schools are perfectly 'notable'. Dan100 20:30, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Misplaced Pages is not a directory. It's had over a month to grow "organically" and all that's happened prior to VfD is the addition of a category and the addition of a cleanup tag. I am afraid, Klonimus, that the fact that "the libraries collections are sorted using the Dewey Decimal System" does not do much to distinguish it from other school libraries; it would, on the other hand, be very interesting if it used any other classification system. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:44, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and just look at the time being spent on this process. Non-notable schools can always be recommended for speedy deletion with the "db|non-notable" formula. Anyone can then object, and we can go through the "long form". --Wetman 00:52, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • But, given that many VfD voters are inclusionist about all schools (rather than all universities or all secondary schools), someone will always object, with a good chance someone will be upset that you tried to speedy it. Until non-consensus changes among the WP community, it's safest to waste spend the time getting the usual mix of "all schools are notable" and "all middle schools are non-notable unless (they make the national news / somebody kills a record number of people / haven't seen a notable one yet)" reasons. Also, I think many more people usually see VfD than CSD. Barno 02:05, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Although I believe that not all schools are automatically encyclopedic, and although I believe that "notability" plays a legitimate role in deletion discussions, it is simply not a criterion for speedy deletion under current policy. I have no idea where that template came from but it should not be used. The criteria for speedy deletion are quite clear and quite restrictive—and a recent proposal to allow speedy deletions on the basis of non-notability appears to have overwhelming opposition.

• Keep. Middle Schools should be included. --Zantastik 07:03, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, BEEFSTEW score of -2 (A, middle school). —Korath (Talk) 08:20, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, extremely unnotable. Grue 09:10, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Absolutely nothing is mentioned that sets this middle school apart from others. I agree with Indrian. - Sango123 20:13, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
• delete insufficient information to justify a separate article and probably not interesting enough. Make a table in an article on educational provision in the region. Mozzerati 20:34, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)
• Delete. Average middle school with no (apparent) distinguishing characteristics. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 23:55, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Schools should be included and Misplaced Pages is not paper. - Jersyko 05:48, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep There is no size restriction on WP. Burgundavia 07:28, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Gamaliel 14:11, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, needs to be expanded. -- Lochaber 16:43, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Snowspinner 18:23, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Average Earthman. Thryduulf 19:18, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
