Cy-Fair High School[edit]

Non-notable, delete. Neutralitytalk 04:16, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand. High schools should not have to pass a notability test. I apologize for the almost cut-and-paste vote, but the large number of schools being added to the list cuts down on originality. --BaronLarf 04:38, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Another perfectly good stub. Encyclopedic, will grow in time. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 04:48, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless wikipedia wants a boring, pointless article for every average school in every country. CDThieme
  • Delete ditto CDThieme. Gazpacho 05:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV. First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge. Thanks to Neutrality, I've had no time for adding content today. --Unfocused 05:23, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Future scholars will no doubt thank you for preserving such unique content for study. Oh, and what's keeping you from adding content elsewhere? Has the Draft been reinstated? --Calton | Talk 04:39, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia is not Triviapedia. Instutional vanity Gmaxwell 06:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Kappa 06:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: nothing to see here, move along. Jonathunder 06:45, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • Delete, nothing here that jumps out at me as being interesting or noteworthy... yet again... Master Thief Garrett 07:20, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Create an article about Cypress, Texas and merge into it - Skysmith 09:09, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep I just wasted 15 seconds, again. Lotsofissues 12:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Stop wasting your time and everyone else's, then. Don't vote. Jayjg (talk) 20:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • As CDThieme says, Delete unless Wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet.--Mitsukai 15:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep.JuntungWu 12:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A notability standard is inherently POV. - SimonP 13:28, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Encyclopedic, verifiable and NPOV. Meets all agreed-upon Wikipedia standards. Like some others, I will be copy-pasting this to all the high school votes since someone seems to have mass-suggested articles for VfD simply because of a POV judgment of their subject--Cynical 13:34, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this fine little article. Wikipedia does want an article for every school in the universe. They may start out boring and pointless, and many may remain that way for some time. But articles have to start somewhere, and they may well develop into interesting articles. Lupin 14:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete EVERYTHING should have to pass the notability test. --InShaneee 14:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 14:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, vanity. Radiant_* 15:01, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • As CDThieme says, Delete unless Wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet.--Mitsukai 15:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/Consolidate into an article on the local school district. — RJH 15:30, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- Longhair | Talk 16:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep schools. Inherently notable (expect to be seeing this posted quite a few times). R Calvete 19:10, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • 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. Gamaliel 20:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the schoolcruft. Ketsy 20:35, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Might be notable, but this article doesn't establish it. If something actually notable shows up in the article I'll change my vote. Jayjg (talk) 20:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the school articles. Christopher Parham 21:10, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-notable. A 3-month old article that is exactly 2 sentences long. How much time will it take for it to grow to 3 sentences? Quale 23:34, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, have no fear, if it was in danger of deletion a number of sentences describing the school mascot, and the arrangement of tables in the cafeteria, and other highly notable and encyclopedic information would soon appear. Jayjg (talk) 23:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. 120+ year old high schools are inherently notable. -- BD2412 talk 00:04, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
  • Merge with Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District per my school article policy. Kelly Martin 01:45, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand this perfectly good stub. It's not impressive now, but tons of great articles started out as little stubs. Some people here would crush an acorn because it's not an oak yet. --Zantastik 02:49, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Continuing with the imagery talk, how long do you wait for germination to occur before you decide it's stagnated and gone rotten and should be dug up and thrown into the fire? Master Thief Garrett 03:39, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. What is the point of articles about Yet Another Indistinguishable Local School? What possible value is there except in stroking local vanity and inflating Wikipedia's article count? --Calton | Talk 04:39, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hey, we gotta hit that millionth article! The day we hit a million, I'm going on a spring-cleaning rampage. Probably, especially with the "keep all schools" idea, 200,000+ of that would be useless. If we're gonna have an article count to display proudly in Time magazine, it might as well be honest. Master Thief Garrett 05:31, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If it's going to become something interesting and notable anytime in the meaningful future, let it carry an "under construction" tag. Until then, non-notable. (Sairen42 forgot to sign off)
  • Delete.-- Fingers-of-Pyrex 11:33, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
  • Keep, need expansion. -- Lochaber 17:18, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Nominator appears to be willing to waste any amount of other users time, and may well have prevented improvements to hundreds of articles which would otherwise have been made in this time. CalJW 18:21, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete = not notable. NoAccount 02:47, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep schools in wikipedia. -dozenist 05:24, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - As Per all Schools, I vote to keep - --Irishpunktom\talk 14:49, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable school. Klonimus 23:23, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
