Perhaps closing admins should simply ignore opinions of the form "nn, delete" and "Keep all schools". People will stop offering such such bland opinions if they realize that their input is being ignored and will instead offer more useful commentary.
What if "keep all schools" is the reason the person is voting to keep? There are many that feel that all X for some X are "notable".
I would recommend that such opinions be given low (or perhaps even no) weight. Arguments to keep or delete an article on the merits of the specific article (or, rather, the subject of the article, which should be the main basis for a keep/delete decision) should be given more weight than those based on any categories in which the article (or its subject) might happen to fall in.
I'm not sure I understand. You're saying that VFD exists to delete badly-written articles on "notable" subjects? I've always understood that it's for figuring out whether the subject is "notable" enough. If what you say is true, VFD would be even bigger than it is now.
