[edit] Brandon School (GUSD), now moved to Brandon School, Goleta, California

Delete School vanity, there are many Brandon schools in the World, the page already has a redirect, even has recent updated activites for the school that should be included on it's own Website not in Wikipedia. Srcrowl 07:05, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Note: Cleanup has been done. Please continue voting but with that in mind.--Member 00:59, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC), the creator of the article. (Kappa did most of it :) to him!). It wouldn't be appropiate for me to vote.

• elementary school, not notable. Delete Dunc|☺ 08:33, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete for now. This is not an encyclopedia article. But it is always nice to know that a school I've never heard of will dismiss students at 11:45 on June 17. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Kappa has done some cleanup. Merge with Goleta Union School District. If elementary schools are notable it is only at a local level. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:15, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for organic growth, failing that merge as above. Kappa 09:17, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. Failing that merge as above. — mark ✎ 10:51, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. --W(t) 13:30, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
• Delete as vanity. --Scimitar 15:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • What about the article makes you think it's a vanity page? Factitious 09:36, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete — school information is already merged onto the Goleta Union School District page. — RJH 15:51, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• keep but a merge is ok too Yuckfoo 17:57, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • keep since its being expanded Yuckfoo 23:49, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. DoubleBlue (Talk) 18:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or merge --Carnildo 20:21, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or retain the current merge. Merge has already been done but really this is enough for a whole article, I see no reason to appease deletionism when out of 75 school articles listed for deletion in May not one was deleted. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:53, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment So because there were no listed deletes that reached concensus to delete it means that no school article should be deleted? I don't think this vote is about appeasing anyone. It is about working to keep the quality of all articles at a high level. Vegaswikian 06:38, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with the school district article. A lot of the actual content is more about the district itself than the school, so it seems a good fit. JYolkowski // talk 22:09, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and delete - I'm glad the article Goleta Union School District exists, I felt kinda bad voting to delete a school I used to live a couple miles away from.  :D StopTheFiling 23:22, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Generously mild keep. —RaD Man (talk) 02:51, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --Centauri 04:24, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, article fails to establish notability. RickK 04:30, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Does anyone know how people use wiki to look up schools? If they went to this article are they looking for information about the school or about schools in the district? Vegaswikian 05:34, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - The fact that an elementary school is building a multipurpose room might be verifiable, but it is not encyclopedic. --FCYTravis 08:59, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment A reason I put this up for deletion among others, is that there are many schools in the US/World named Brandon School, how can we allow one school to take the control of the name, and not allow others? What if another Brandon school comes along, and changes all of the information to match their school information? I do agree with merging with the school district article, but the school itself shouldn't be able to hold sole possesion of the name Brandon School or any other school for that matter, IMHO.

  • Agreed. If anything, Brandon School should be made into a disambiguation page. However, this concern should not have been a reason for listing the page on VfD. Bad names can be fixed without resorting to deletion. Factitious 09:36, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. This happens all the time on Wikipedia. We use a technique called disambiguation. A page doesn't have to have the same name all its life (I moved this one to Brandon School, Goleta, California). There is no need to call for articles to be deleted because you think they may have the wrong name, just press the move button or go to Wikipedia:Requested moves and follow the instructions. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 02:12, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. – ugen64 01:22, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons above. Vegaswikian 06:54, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep schools in Wikipedia. Notable, NPOV, verifiable. Unfocused 05:23, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, elementary school, has done nothing noteworthy or newsworthy. If no one in other parts of the country has heard of the school, it's not notable. And that's the case with this one. --Idont Havaname 23:56, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I've heard of it. Factitious 09:36, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Informative, verifiable, NPOV, etc. Factitious 09:36, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, the usual. Christopher Parham (talk) 05:42, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC)
