User:Milowent/History of High School AfDs
Appearance
Summary: This page documents the history of deletion discussions related to high schools. In short, verifiable high schools that aren't just a one-sentence piece of crap are almost ALWAYS kept. Its well over 95%.
- The below timeline (substantially created in August 2011) currently includes:
- Results from an "everything" search for the first 200+ search results of 16,119 result for "articles for deletion" "high school" "
- First 20 results for "articles for deletion" "secondary school" (1,922 results)
- All high school VfDs I could find from 2001-May 2004 from the old VfD archives.
- First 600 of 4,494 search results for: "articles for deletion" "high school" 2010
- Note that when the article is not properly capitalized in the AfD title, e.g., "Town high school" instead of "Town High School", which isn't that uncommon, it probably means the article was newly created and in bad shape when nominated.
- First 320 everything search results for --"articles for deletion" high school 2009--(added March 2012 to fill out 2009 listings)
- I also made some attempts to include sample AfDs from non-English speaking countries. Sometime these are harder to verify, but once verified are also almost always kept.

- Talk:Lynbrook_High_School#From_VfD (keep, October 2003)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in the United States (keep, October 2003) (not a high school AfD per se)

- [3] Sydney Boys High School (keep, November 2003) ([4] closing comment: "7 say keep. 2 say delete. 2 made comments but did not say keep or delete.")

- Talk:Hansraj Morarji Public School (merged to town, November 2003) (school location: Mumbai, India) (recreated February 2005 and has remained)
- November 2003: [[6]]. Jimbo Wales comments on discussion of deletionism with example about high school articles, and his comments suggest that articles on typical high schools should be permitted as long as they have some decent content and aren't mass stubs.
- "Put another way: if someone wants to write an article about their high school, we should relax and accomodate them, even if we wish they wouldn't do it. And that's true *even if* we should react differently if someone comes in and starts mass-adding articles on every high school in the world.
- Let me make this more concrete. Let's say I start writing an article about my high school, Randolph School, of Huntsville, Alabama. I could write a decent 2 page article about it, citing information that can easily be verified by anyone who visits their website.
- Then I think people should relax and accomodate me. It isn't hurting anything. It'd be a good article, I'm a good contributor, and so cutting me some slack is a very reasonable thing to do.
- That's true *even if* we'd react differently to a ton of one-liners mass-imported saying nothing more than "Randolph School is a private school in Huntsville, Alabama, US" and "Indian Springs is a private school in Birmingham, Alabama, US" and on and on and on, ad nauseum."
- Jimbo doesn't say high schools are notable, but the notability concept was fuzzy in 2003.
- Wikipedia's size in November 2003 was about 175,000 articles. Randolph School is school is created February 2004. Indian Springs School is created July 2005.
- November 2003': Wikipedia:Deletion policy/schools - poll/discussion started on " Should Wikipedia have articles on schools? Rather than discuss this repeatedly on VfD every time a school article appears, it would be more sensible to gain a consensus which could be applied to all of them. That's what this page is for."
- [7] Tremper High School (delete, December 2003, likely was an attack article, one comment: "Looking at the history of the article, and the kind of stuff the user who created it was contributing, I just don't know if it's worth keeping. Of the edits to the article, most were insults against the school or people who go there.") (recreated April 2006 and has remained, George Nelson Tremper High School)
