Dwight-Englewood School[edit]

Non-notable, delete. Neutralitytalk 05:11, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete unless wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet. CDThieme 05:20, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this excellent high school article. If the other articles being nominated were like it we wouldn't be having this argument. Gazpacho 05:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve. The article needs work, but the school is over 100 years old and there's apparently a good deal of verifiable information in here, though it needs revision. Not a good candidate for VfD. (All secondary schools are notable, of course.) --BaronLarf 05:37, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV. First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge. Thanks to Neutrality, I've had no time for adding content today. --Unfocused 05:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete schools, instutional vanity. Gmaxwell 05:53, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Kappa 05:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, not notable, schools cruft. Megan1967 06:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, do I really have to keep giving a reason? Apparently yes. Fascinating page--no, wait, it isn't, but, yeah, nothing noteworthy that's the problem. Master Thief Garrett 07:44, 17 May 2005 (UTC) Merge with schools in (region here) or similar, and Delete, NO redirect. Master Thief Garrett 02:59, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Prekindergarten? Who was the guy who wanted to include every kindergarten in the world? Merge into New Jersey and delete - Skysmith 09:38, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Good school articles are worthy of retention and this is one of those. Capitalistroadster 10:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep.JuntungWu 12:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep This is going nowhere. Please stop. Lotsofissues 13:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Subject should be verifiable. - SimonP 13:21, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I find this listing, like so many recent school listings, utterly baffling. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Neutrality's crusade is getting a bit boring. Lupin 14:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because they use instant-runoff voting. :) -- BD2412 thimkact 14:12, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 14:44, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, vanity - but nominator should be warned for WP:POINT. Radiant_* 15:02, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep — RJH 16:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- Longhair | Talk 17:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep R Calvete 20:04, 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 20:27, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the schoolcruft. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Bogus (non-policy) mass nomination, clogging the system - notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 23:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If this is an example of an excellent school article, it's hard to understand why WP would want to list any secondary schools at all. Quale 23:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • This one is tough. I don't see it as meeting my school article policy for a keep, merging it with New Jersey seems inappropriate, and deleting it seems inappropriate as well. So, weak keep for now. Kelly Martin 02:11, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Schools are notable, and this is a well-written article. Delete it when entire articles about South Park episodes are deleted (which should be never). --Zantastik 00:54, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Extreme keep and delist. Bad faith nominat(or|ion). Tons of notability, too, even though it is not an established requirement for inclusion, stated or implied. —RaD Man (talk) 07:33, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Introduce a limit of 3 nominations per day CalJW 18:46, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep schools (even more so for this very well written one) in wikipedia. -dozenist 05:24, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep please this is an excellent school article Yuckfoo 18:25, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Notable school. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 23:26, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
