List of schools in the United States

Even more frightening a prospect than List of schools in Washington. RickK 23:40, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete before it spreads. — Gwalla | Talk 23:56, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not at all encyclopedic. Author should be hit with a fish. --Improv 00:54, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Could be useful for some individuals looking for it, though the words "this is not a comprehensive list" need to be written all over the place. --DMG413 01:03, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. ugen64 01:23, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Talk:List of schools in the United States/Delete. This is the THIRD listing of this article. (No vote yet) WhisperToMe 02:25, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Oh, btw, I'm gonna move this so ALL of the previous VFD discussions are shown. WhisperToMe 02:27, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, using a fish is too kind. RedWolf 02:33, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, and reinstate the links. I really don't see what's the problem with this, as long as only notable schools are listed, and this currently seems to be the case. User:Cow 03:07, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, at least until we reach a point where we have a policy against long lists of things. --Alex Krupp 03:20, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Also, I agree with User:Cow: reinstate the links. This simply looks like the originator has made the page useless to help it get deleted. Sahasrahla 03:24, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I concur with User:Cow . This list is fine if it only contains notable schools. -- J3ff 05:11, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Yes it should contain notable schools, and thats just asking for an argument over what is POV. Aren't lists like these what categories were created for? -- Chuq 07:10, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. We don't want to encourage high school pages, and I fear this might. At best make a category for existing schools. Cool Hand Luke 07:37, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Some High Schools have already been "kept", and some more will be kept in the future. Why not have a list of them? And eventually, I foresee that all schools will stay.--AAAAA 16:00, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Stop this, it's silly. Either the list is going to be selective, in which case it is incorrectly titled, or it is either going to be far too large, or incomplete. Perhaps redirect to List of notable schools in the United States in an attempt to make some people think before adding their bogstandard High School (note - I went to a bogstandard High School).

    • I don't see what's wrong with incomplete. I think Wikipedia was, is and will ALWAYS be incomplete. So what?--AAAAA 13:01, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete. Another list the looks like it intends to be complete, but won't ever be. Any current high school articles within Wikipedia should be so categorized, which creates an automatic list of articles within Wikipedia about high schools, a list automatically maintained. If, in the far future, Wikipedia becomes granular enough that all high school articles are kept, then the category list will update itself accordingly. So what is the purpose of this one. Change it to a list of "notable" schools, whether there is an article or not? Who decides which ones are notable? Might change my vote to Keep if some clear criteria appeared within the article as to exactly what schools should be listed or if there are clear sources which can be consulted to update a complete list.

  • Keep - SimonP 16:32, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Make a category for the notable school articles. -- WOT 19:17, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • There is a Category:High schools -- J3ff 21:31, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep- It's just a list. We have other lists. Saopaulo1
    • Comment:. How does this argument differ from: "It's just an article. We have other articles"? Or "It's just some words, we have other words"? Jallan 14:22, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - we have lists of fictional cats. The Recycling Troll 03:17, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
