MacGregor State High School[edit]

Page constantly being changed/vandlised, and the gang video not really proved to be apart of gang video, rather just a one-off mockup. An ongoing issue, that needs to be done with a full removal of the page.--Tayuke 22:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Please also seeTalk:MacGregor State High School, and the latest section I've written about the page: It ends here! --Tayuke 22:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Your reason for deletion that there is controversial information on the page is not a viable argument. Imagine if every page that had controversial information on it, we just deleted it and didn't fix the information. There wouldn't be any pages on Wikipedia. Just tag the article with {{POV}} and discuss the changes on the talk page. This article is notable enough to be included.

- See, there's where this trouble all began: This editor come's along, and adds this section about "Supposed Youth Gang Violence". Even though it wasn't even verfited back then, and therefore removed from the page, he come's back 6 months latter, having sumbitted it the BrisbaneTimes and Channel 7. And although myself, and a number of others keep on removing it, he thinks he has every right to keep it up, just to bring down the schools name, in what I think, from my point of view, because he was or one his friend was invovled in one fight...one...and now he's claiming there's an entire gang war now going on, because of the actions that happend last year.--Tayuke 00:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: Per WP:SNOW on the nominators reason. - Rjd0060 23:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Vandalism is not a reason for deletion - trys page protection instead. Chris! _ct 00:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Reliable and verifiable sources supporting details regarding the school, awards received and alumni satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability standard. Vandalism is a separate issue. Alansohn 00:59, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep School seems notable enough. AfD seems to be used for censorship in this case. Loopla 01:11, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there is no valid reason to suggest deletion. -- DS1953 ^talk 01:22, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep obviously - notable high school with plenty of awards, plenty of notable alumni and plenty of sources. We deal with vandalism by protection/blocking not deletion or else the vandals win. TerriersFan 03:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SNOW. Deletion is not the place to go when you can't get your way in an edit dispute. Whatever the right thing to do with this article is, it has notability covered, and the dispute needs to be handled through OTHER avenues, not AFD.--Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
