You obviously do; you've even voted to delete some schools.
Haven't we all?
Nope.
The organized inclusionists do not read the article, nor do they believe they should have to; for them, including all school articles is a matter of "principle", usually of the "Wikipedia is not paper" and/or "schools are intrinsically notable" sort.
Well that's a very serious charge. You're accusing some unnamed people of making bogus votes on VfD--copy-pasted and without looking at the article in question. Do you have some evidence to support this?
"Very serious charge"? Get real, this is a Wikipedia mail-list. As for evidence, here's one example of an editor who took some valuable time out of editing Pokemon related articles to make 17 identical keep votes on schools in 9 minutes, and soon after another 10 identical keep votes in 4 minutes: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=K...] Several times she was able to get in 3 keep votes a minute. I envy her her internet connection; I couldn't have even gotten to all those VfD pages in that time, much less read the related article, edited, voted, saved, and returned.
Jay.
I could just about match that edit rate using multiple tabs in firefox. It would be very tricky though and I would have had to open all the edit window first.
