Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Freetown-Lakeville Middle School (0th nomination)
Too short a history (~ 2 years) to be notable. Mandel 18:15, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete along with other contiguous schools. Fails to meet the high bar for pre-university school notability. 17 pieces of cruft. Oy. --Improv 20:31, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete all 17. -- WOT 21:48, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep all. Why do people keep listing these high schools on VfD, they don't get deleted and it just wastes everyone's time. - SimonP 22:01, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
- It is not a high school. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:16, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- People keep on listing these drivel and people keep on voting delete so that eventually, Wikipedia will BE a encyclopedia, as opposed to a collection of drivel and trash. Are you pro-knowledge or pro-garbage? -Vina 23:46, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, non-notable school. Fire Star 22:59, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, also fails to meet the middle bar and the low bar for pre-university school notability. I live within twenty miles of it and never heard of it. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:16, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Delete all 17, schools in an of themselves are not notable outside of their locality or outside of their alumni. -Vina 23:44, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Delete. I didn't see anything in the article denoting notability. Average Earthman 08:16, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Abstain At the time I created this, it was so the List of schools in the United States would have fewer red articles. Someone removed those links anyways. Sahasrahla 20:48, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
- I believe you, and you can't be blamed. That article has caused no end of trouble. First, it had a noisy and ill-tempered VfD debate. At the conclusion of it, people there agreed, roughly, that, well, the links to high schools could stay, but not the middle and lower schools. From that, a person began saying there was a "consensus that high schools are automatically in" in article space. No one can be blamed for going to the list article and filling in a red link, but no policy ever got adopted, so we're back to the same deletion guidelines for schools as for anything else. Most of them fail because the school article fails to show notability of the particular school. At least that's what I've gotten from the repeated battles and the multiple fat lips I've gotten through the last year or so. Geogre 01:23, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
