Ashley Hall

Possibly notable but notability not yet established. Delete or show significance at the end of the five-day period. Neutrality^talk

Keep. Verifiable and NPOV. DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:12, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable. Demi ^T/_C 21:34, 2005 May 15 (UTC)
Delete. Non-notable. ESkog 22:20, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Verifiable, NPOV, reasonable topic. Kelly Martin 23:53, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. As noted by others above fits the criteria put up by Jimbo Wales for keeping an article on Wikipedia: verifiable & NPOV --AYArktos 00:53, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Excellent subject for an article. Needs to start somewhere, that's why we call them stubs.--Unfocused 03:30, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Good stub. Give it a chance to grow. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 06:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world. Gamaliel 07:12, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Charleston, South Carolina and delete - Skysmith 09:12, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, needs expansion. -- Lochaber 12:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, obviously. --Zero 13:21, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Only all-girls college-prep school in a state with four million people? I think that's a good enough reason to Keep. Mike H 16:14, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
Keep We don't owe you anything. Please stop it. Oliver Chettle 19:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. Only all-girls college-prep school in the state? That's a hell of a lot more notable than some of our star wars articles! --Zantastik 19:56, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it's a school. It's notable. Klonimus 20:40, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- See Beg the question. --Calton | Talk 03:53, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Charleston, South Carolina. --Carnildo 21:22, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect with Charleston, South Carolina unless expanded before end of VfD. JYolkowski // talk 21:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain. At least it has the possibility of being notable, but this article fails to establish it. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:56, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
the only girls' college-preparatory school in the state If you draw the boundaries narrowly enough you can tack on as many superlatives as you like. Delete unless some actual notability is demonstrated. --Calton | Talk 03:53, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Definitely notable. DS1953 04:25, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless wikipedia wants a boring, pointless article for every average school in every country. CDThieme
Delete Wikipedia != Triviapedia, infinite storage does not change our charter. Instutional Vanity. Gmaxwell 06:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I want a boring, pointless article for every average school in every country please. Grace Note 06:25, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.JuntungWu 12:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, it's both verifiable and written in an NPOV way. Notability isn't a deletion criterion. James F. (talk) 12:54, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, vanity. R adiant _* 13:46, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Has a rich history dating back to 1909 .[1] and has been attended by many significant women in South Carolina and America's history, including Barbara Bush. [2] I'll add this information to the article as soon as I'm done voting on the scores of other schools up for deletion. All high schools are notable, but this one especially so. --BaronLarf 19:09, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Notability is still not a deletion criterion. Needs title that includes location. - David Gerard 22:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as with others. Christopher Parham 22:30, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
Keep. Wikipedia would not be improved by the deletion of this article. ~leif ☺ _(talk) 01:12, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Comment With the usual cavaet that secondary schools are inherently notable, this school has a number of significant alumnae: Barbara Bush, former first lady [3]; Madeleine L'Engle, author [4]; Josephine Humphreys, author [5] and Alexandra Ripley, author [6] --BaronLarf 18:17, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
