****Why must you automatocally assume that people want to delete this page because it is uninteresting to them? I find math to be absolutely ghastly, but I would never condone the deletion of the many pages on wikipedia dealing with various theorems. The fact of the matter is that this is not a directory of schools, it is an encyclopedia. This means that the goal, at least in my opinion, should be to record those pieces of knowledge that contribute to a greater understaning of the world around us and of the human response to that world. When a school does something daring and new, or is the site of a historic event, or is a prestigious center of learning, or perhaps even has several distinguished alumni (not entirely sure about that one myself) then it should be included. Every school in this world that is or ever has been is not worthy of remembrance in this medium. This is not wikipedia policy, just one member's opinion on how to interpret the goals of the project. You are free to disagree with me and lend your voice to discussion, just don't assume the motives of others; it is not condusive to good debate. [[User:Indrian|Indrian]] 16:20, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

*****I fully respect your opinions. Still, I can't see why this one should be deleted when small Norwegian municipalities like [[Tysvær]] and [[Ølen]] are included. Wikipedia isn't a directory of municipalities either. I fully understand that you and others wanted this article deleted as it used to be -- but as it is now I think it is worthy of inclusion.

*Keep, because I like the picture. I'm sorry [[User:Chriscf|Chris]], I'm sorry [[User:Geogre|Geogre]], and, [[User:Indrian|Indrian]], you're absolutely right. And, yes, I've never been so aware before of the meaning of the phrase "slippery slope," and never before have been in so much sympathy with fathead administrators who say "We can't do it for you because if we did it for you we'd have to do it for everyone." But I like the picture, though. [[User:Dpbsmith|[[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]]]] 00:49, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
