Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bellevue West High School
This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. 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 ambiguous. I count 18 clear "delete" votes, 12 clear "keep" votes (2 anons and 1 probable troll discounted) and 2 "merge" votes. While there is a clear majority to delete, there is not the overwhelming concensus necessary for deletion. The decision defaults to keep in some form.
Noting both the majority to delete, the current state of the article and the fact that "redirects" do not destroy history, I am going to be bold and merge and redirect this article. Rossami (talk) 05:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This is a high school, so I'm just going to say delete and see what consensus is this week. —Korath (Talk) 12:42, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Very well, delete. Radiant! 13:29, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. BEEFSTEW score of 2 (A,D). A high school where there are sports teams and clubs. No apparent news events, notable alumni, or historical significance. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 15:05, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete unless Wikipedia has become the Great Catalogue of American Primary and Secondary Schools when I wasn't looking. Arkyan 18:51, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, non-notable high school. DaveTheRed 22:48, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. How much more generic and/or uninformative can you get? Arkyan brings up an excellent point, by the way. - Lucky 6.9 00:10, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. There is no reason we can't have an article on every high school on Earth. --Zero 04:04, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Agree with Lucky, generic and uniformative. Non-notable. Gamaliel 07:34, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The only useful bit of information in the entire thing is that Bellevue, Nebraska appears to have two high schools. This can be mentioned in the Bellevue, Nebraska article. Oh look, it already is. Average Earthman 23:10, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep' - SimonP 00:59, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. Just like all other school articles.--Gene_poole 02:17, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Extreme keep. Thank god User:GRider didn't tell me about this one, I'd hate to think that my vote might actually be ignored because someone used my talk page. —RaD Man (talk) 08:05, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I see nothing special about it. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:09, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
