Oak Hills High School

non-notable public school... also may be a vanity post b/c it mentions "internet troll named after the school" Feco 05:39, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

OakHills199 has also just appeared... looks like a troll

• Delete, highly likely to be in bad faith.

• Delete, BEEFSTEW 3 (ABD), and a red link to a town or city in the US makes me highly suspicious. —Korath (Talk) 09:11, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • I was suspicious, too, but even though there is no
    List of cities in Ohio, Google Maps seems to be aware of at least a place with that name, whether it's a city or not. android↔talk

    • It seems to be a real school. I'm not clear on the relationship between Bridgetown and Cincinatti, but I've run into a number of things like that. Bridgetown is apparently either a suburb of, or neighborhood-with-its-own-name-and-Zip-code-within, Cincinatti. The school's website here puts it at 3200 Ebenezer Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45248, while Bridgetown] seems to be Zip code 45211. Oddly enough, this listing puts it in Addyston. This is all an indication that whoever wrote the article wasn't too punctilious about facts, but I don't think it's an outright hoax. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:14, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. More dubious than most of these. Jayjg ^(talk) 09:56, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I wouldn't be suprised if this was created as an attempt to make a case for keeping the OakHills199 article by the same person. Thryduulf 11:18, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per low BEEFSTEW score. Radiant_* 15:13, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Also, -1 from the BEEFSTEW score for posting two vanity articles at the same time. Chris 19:50, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable, probable bad-faith edit. android↔talk 19:57, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I love how it's filled with weasel-words too.

• Delete. School vanity. Not encyclopedic: WP is not a directory of high schools. Jonathunder 03:20, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)
• Keep. This pointless anti-schoool vendetta is become quite tiresome. All schools are public institutions, and all public institutions are notable by definition. That's right - all.--Centauri 06:20, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Where does it say, in Wikipedia policy or elsewhere, that all public institutions are notable by definition? You're entitled to your opinion, but if that's no more than your personal opinion it would be nice if you would label it as such. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:14, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for organic growth and expansion. Remove the duplicate article. --GRider\^talk 19:11, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. See my points at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Any policy regarding school articles?. -- Toytoy 04:36, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep since GRider is organically growing and expanding it.

• Merge into Bridgetown, Ohio and delete - Skysmith 10:05, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge if possible then delete. Agree with Skysmith and kudos to Dpbsmith for catching the geographical glitches. Hail, Smiths! - Lucky 6.9 04:24, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and improve---BaronLarf 22:58, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP! It's part of a government institution, and that's notable in itself. The Wikipedia permits geography articles on cities with less than one thousand people, so I fail to see how this would be an exception. The "non-notable" rule was to keep the Wikipedia an encyclopedia, and free of advertising and vanity pages. This should fly, folks. Phobophile 09:52, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, needs expansion. -- Lochaber 11:03, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Just another boring article about a non-notable school. Sarg 13:59, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
