Hornby high school

Nonnotable high school and dead-end page. Linuxbeak 22:45, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. This page doesn't have any useful information on it. The information could instead be added to Christchurch under a new heading titled "Schools" or something of the sort. It definitely doesn't need a page on its own. Mystique 04:12, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
D: no encyclopaedic content. Joe D (t) 00:39, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
delete nonnotable. Sensation002 23:50, 11 May 2005 (UTC) see below[reply]
- i would like to change my vote, i say clean up and keep.Sensation002 02:14, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This debate was apparently never listed on the VFD page. I will therefore (re?)submit it. No vote is always the safest on a hot topic like high schools... Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:12, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; substub, no evidence of notability. Dunc|☺ 12:19, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete How it was decided that schools are automatically notable, I have no idea. Friday 14:30, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect to List of schools in New Zealand. High schools are certainly more notable than most bus stops or train stations, but I don't see any of those up for VfD. Why is that? :) — RJH 16:06, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Silver Street railway station is a recent example of a train station on VFD. Overwhelming keep consensus, perhaps even more so after the nominator started arguing for the deletion of kings of England, and non-notable countries.

Delete as per Mystique. OpenToppedBus - My Talk 16:10, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
Keep Schools are kept because they are clearly more significant than much of the pop culture material on Wikipedia. CalJW 16:20, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. One sentence substub. Gamaliel 16:42, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article is absolutely worthless at present. --Scimitar ^parley 16:45, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Normally I do regard high schools as encyclopedic, but this is so short I make an exception. PatGallacher 17:29, 2005 July 14 (UTC)
- As this has now been expanded into a reasonable article I change my vote to keep. PatGallacher 22:50, 2005 July 14 (UTC)
Delete. If the original writer didn't care enough to even attempt to indicate why it is notable or interesting, then there's not much potential for expansion. -Aranel ("Sarah") 18:05, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If the school website [1] wasn't down, I'd expand this myself. Although I must admit I'm getting tired of people bringing articles here just because they need to be expanded. -- Visviva 18:10, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
keep but please expand even tho this is not a cleanup page Yuckfoo 18:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
High schools should assert some claim to notability beyond mere existence. Not every school has to be Eton, of course, but it should have to have significant notability beyond teaching and graduating students, having a couple of successful alumni (although having a very large number would be notable), etc. Does this HS have that? Delete unless such evidence is given. Dcarrano 20:03, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Good school stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:26, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, looks better now. JYolkowski // talk 20:38, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. May have been poor before; now is a good start on a school article. Un focused 20:49, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No more notable than any other box with students in it. --Carnildo 20:51, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable --jonasaurus 21:31, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Christopher Parham (talk) 22:31, 2005 July 14 (UTC)
Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:13, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. siafu 23:43, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Bicycle. —RaD Man (talk) 01:10, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete the bicycle but keep the school. R adiant _>|< 08:52, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
Delete most schools as non-notable. And yes, I know about the previous discussions, but I still don't think this one needs an article. -Splash 01:28, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep since it has glasshouses and extensive gardens which I find to be unique and maybe encylopedic. Vegaswikian 07:21, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment if the vote is to keep, the article needs to be moved to a new name and a DAB created at Hornby High School since the article itself lists another school with the same name. Vegaswikian 07:25, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. Maver1ck 08:02, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, needs expansion. -- Lochaber 14:12, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (and I'm not just saying that because my ex is an ex-HHS student!) Real school, which should be notable enough. I've added a tiny bit more to it. Should nebe at Hornby High School (New Zealand), though. Grutness...wha? 04:37, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, schoolcruft. --Idont Havaname 22:36, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Obvious keep. Nominator should be drawn and quartered. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 02:10, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- To be fair, the version Linuxbeak nominated was far different than the current version. DoubleBlue (Talk) 02:34, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Dunc|☺ 21:49, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
