Baptist Lui Ming Choi Secondary School

This is yet-another-school promotion page. Most of the contents seem to be taken form a student's handbook. Not encyclopedic --Ragib 00:21, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Non notable, google returns only 1000 hits and most are blogs and trivial list of schools or student clubs. --Ragib 00:24, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If you think this will be deleted, you haven't been looking at VfD recently. The article needs cleanup, not a delete. There is ample verifiable information here. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:58, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.... =/ -- Christopher Parham (talk) 01:00, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
Keep, and cleanup. Verifiable, important topic. See also Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep (but not Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Delete). Kappa 01:15, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, agree with Kappa. --Un focused 02:19, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, informative and establishes notability. Gazpacho 02:46, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would really love to see more concrete policies on what we will and will not keep. Voting on these schools one by one is tiresome. Kappa's reference is interesting, but not policy. No vote from me for now. Force10 04:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain. Refer to Wikipedia:Schools and please think three times before nominating a school article for deletion. All such debates will end with a "no consensus". Sjakkalle 06:12, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - no harm in keeping. Rangerdude 06:44, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The article in its current form is far, far too granular in level of detail, and virtually guaranteed to become out of date and incorrect unless someone actively promises to maintain it. Average Earthman 08:56, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into appropriate location and delete. Transwiki to Wikistudents cold be a good idea as well - Skysmith 09:03, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Has anyone checked this on Google for a copyvio? It looks very suspect - I doubt anyone would actually go to that amount of work as a starting point on a high school. Harro5 09:53, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, agree with Kappa. -- Lochaber 14:03, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Damn but it feels like a copyvio -- but I can't find anything. Might be from a brocure, or it might be a translation of the school website. --Carnildo 18:10, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no evidence of notability. --W(t) 21:18, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
keep can we please stop this? go to wikipedia:schools instead Yuckfoo 21:44, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article needs to be cleaned-up though. --IncMan 22:03, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
Keep but someone should edit this down. A detailed staff listing is NOT encyclopedic. DS1953 22:09, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep trying to delete schools. It's a safer release for your destructive urges. —Teknic^T-M-C 23:26, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I have wikified, encyclopedified, and greatly trimmed the original article. —Teknic^T-M-C 01:46, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, clean-up, and edit. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:39, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notable, could use some clean-up but definitely should stay. -CunningLinguist 02:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, clean-up, and edit. --JuntungWu 10:11, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete yet another high school. Denni ☯ 20:07, 2005 May 28 (UTC)
Keep Please stop nominating school articles. It is becoming more and more clear that doing so is a waste of everyone's time. CalJW 23:27, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and continue to refine. Use Wikipedia:Schools' guidelines, stop wasting time on fruitless VfD nominations. --BaronLarf 01:45, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, but with reservations. —RaD Man (talk 07:59, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep, most schools listed for Vfd are because of lack of notability, but now you want to bring it down because the detail is so much, it is too notable? What kind of hypocrisy is this? I am reminded of a fable concerning a man, his son, and his donkey. Especially concerning notability: its a school in Hong Kong, not in the US, and hence the notability is raised even higher as it is an article attacking Systemic bias and even further, a great example of a Christian school in a Chinese culture within an authoritarian China. Yes, it needs to be copyedited (so things don't go out of date, ie. is the prinicipal of *add in year here*, rather than "current principal"), but it seems good enough. The very act of its actions concerning Tiananmen while being in China is an interesting issue, as well. Keep, definitely. You deletionists have gone out of your minds! -- Natalinasmpf 01:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep. There is a place for school articles on Wikipedia.Pufferfish101 22:10, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Ketsuban (is 1337) 03:28, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Must keep: There are a lot of articles about schools in Wikipedia. If you want to delete this article, then does that mean we have to delete ALL of them? Besides that, this article is pretty long. It can be seen that the writers have paid a lot effort in it. Please respect the effort of the writers. I think all of us don't want other people to delete an article that we have spend a lot of effort to write. Also, Wikipedia should include all kinds of information, including information about schools. If you think this article is a "school promotion", then try to modify / clean up to make it a more contented article. But anyway, I truely believe that those people who started this article did not aim at having an advertisement for the school. This is a very predigious school in the area. I see no points for deleting this article just because it is school-related.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.231.1.231 (talk • contribs) 19:52, 10 Jun 2005
