White Oaks High School[edit]
Non-notable high school. DJ Clayworth 18:40, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete for appalling lack of content and notability. Another bored student in the school library, another nanostub. - Lucky 6.9 18:56, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete this useless sub-sub-stub. Gamaliel 20:26, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete for lack of content. Article doesn't even tell me where the school is located and isn't linked in- or outside Wikipedia. Mgm|(talk) 20:36, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- It is in Oakville, Ontario.--Lucky13pjn 21:12, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, appears to be written by a bored student, possibly the name mentioned in the article. No useful information to merge with appropriate geographical article. Average Earthman 20:45, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, I briefly attended this high school a few years back and I know it does not deserve an article.--Lucky13pjn 21:12, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Incidentally, the correct name is White Oaks Secondary School. I'll change my vote if there are more notable alumni than golfer Adam Weir, or something really special about the school itself. Here's their brag sheet from the school web site: [1]. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 21:33, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Notability not established. Almost seems speediable for "little or no content". It would be exagerrating to call this a sub-stub. --BM 21:56, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The only thing that comes to my mind after reading it is "Who cares?" Zzyzx11 23:47, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Minor Alteration Maybe? It might be of more significance if there were more information about it. Until then, where the heck is Oakville? Frank12
- Merge into appropriate Oakville and delete - Skysmith 11:07, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep we have university entries, why not schools. Beta_M talk, |contrib (Ë-Mail)
- Keep. Has potential to become encyclopedic. Allow for organic growth. --Andylkl 18:45, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Non-notable school. Carrp | Talk 20:01, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Where were all you voters on the many other school articles that slip under the radar? Delete. Lacrimosus 22:28, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Sigh. I'll never win this battle, but I feel that all schools should have an entry on wikipedia, no matter how notable. We let all small towns have their own entry, don't we? Even towns of absolutely no import. We allow towns with populations of less than 100 people to have their own entries, and all the articles ever says is the stuff the robots put in there. Yet we don't allow individual articles for each school? I don't understand the difference. So I'll vote keep, even though I already know I've lost this one. Maybe my vote will convince someone else to rethink their position the next time a school article gets put up on VfD. Eric Herboso 22:33, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Merge. Although this really is a crap article, it could help the Oakville page. And I think schools should get wiki entries. And students too if they're worth mentioning.
- Vote was given by User:DavidMendoza. Please remember to sign your votes on VfD pages.
- Keep - just about all schools pass the Pokemon Comparative Notability Test - David Gerard 22:59, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
