'''Adult High School (Ottawa)''' was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was '''DELETE'''. 8 votes to delete, 4 votes to keep. [[User:Postdlf|Postdlf]] 22:20, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
===[[Adult High School (Ottawa)]]===
An adult high school but ultimately still just another school. [[User:Mandel|Mandel]] 18:43, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' - it was decided in September that the Ottawa schools project could continue. [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Brookfield High School (Ottawa)|Old debate]]. - [[User:SimonP|SimonP]] 21:
**Thanks for the link. But I certainly don't read that debate that way. It is a debate on a particular article (one that I voted to keep, by the way). I do not see anything resembling policy or decision on "the Ottawa schools project" in general. Where do you see this?

*<s>'''Delete.''' As an article that gives virtually no information beyond what is in the article title, it would even be a speedy deletion candidate under a criterion that was recently proposed (though not accepted). In other words, it is not a speedy deletion candidate, but it borders on it. [[User:Dpbsmith|[[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]]]] 23:29, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)</s>
*Delete: I certainly don't agree with a school project in main article space. I see a day when we take the materials that consistently violate the main deletion rules and allow them to propser in sister projects, but that day hasn't arrived, and the debate is over the article space. Things have to be notable, and, for me, just another school is interchangeable with another. [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 01:44, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
**Comment: if the Adult High School (Ottawa) was actually the name of a kindergarten in Vancouver, it '''would''' be notable.
*Delete. There is no policy that every school in Ottawa could be kept. [[User:RickK|Rick]][[User talk:RickK|K]] 06:10, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Conditiona delete'''. Would vote to merge and redirect if schools of ottawa page created to devour these stubs. This one looks familiar though, was it nominated before?

:'''Comment''' I must have been punchy from looking at too many school articles—are they really being created in good faith or is someone trying to [[Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point|disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point]]?—and too angry at the idea of creating an article with no more information that this. I woke up and realized:
::'''I've never heard of a high school specifically for adults before.'''
:If this is a unique Ottawa institution with an interesting background it ''could'' potentially merit an article. If adult high schools are a feature of the Canadian school system then an article on [[Adult high schools]] could be in order. If the name of the high school is a euphemism for something, that is worth an explanation somewhere (but not a whole article). Anyway I still think the article should not be kept in its current form but am open to the idea that it might be notable. So... changing vote to:
*'''Delete''' unless article expanded and notability established prior to expiration of VfD. [[User:Dpbsmith|[[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]]]] 09:52, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' unless someone at least ''tries'' to establish non-speculative notability. [[User:Aranel|[[User:Aranel|Aranel]] ("[[User:Aranel/Sarah|Sarah]]")]] 00:57, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' no need to bring this up every few months. If something isn't deleted the first time, it's not going get deleted this time. [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 04:10, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
**???? Are you saying this has been on VfD before and survived? I don't see any previous VfD listing in the history. What do you mean? [[User:Dpbsmith|[[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]]]] 09:45, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
***Well not this particular page, but similar pages. [[User:Earl Andrew|Earl Andrew]] 03:00, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*Count in '''3 more delete''' votes from Improv, WOT and Vina. See above. [[User:Mandel|Mandel]] 09:20, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. [[User:Jayjg|Jayjg]] 16:43, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
* '''C''' Might be notable, but for the love of $DEITY say something useful about the place. [[User:Chriscf|Chris]] 03:01, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' - factual, verifiable entry. [[User:Mark Richards|Mark Richards]] 17:12, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep this'''. Schools are notable. Notability is not a deletion criteria. [[User:Intrigue|Intrigue]] 21:14, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
*Delete. [[User:Indrian|Indrian]] 21:15, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like other '/delete' pages is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion or on the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. '''Please do not edit this page'''.
