[edit] North Star Middle School

I can't find any reference to this "school" on the web. Also, the page keeps being changed to add ridiculous information. --MZMcBride 21:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but clean up. Just because a stub is currently being vandalized doesn't mean it should be removed. Bp28 21:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

*Delete unless we can verify that this school exists. The only North Star Middle School I can find mention of with Google is in Lincoln. I agree with Bp28 that vandalism is not an argument for removal, though. --Ashenai 21:36, 10 June 2006 (UTC) The article has been changed since, and is now about verifiably existing schools. I am now neutral on this issue. --Ashenai 22:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC) *Delete as I find no proof it exists. GassyGuy 21:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: It does. Vulcher 00:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I found the same info that is now on the page when I searched too. When I voted, however, the article gave the school a location not currently mentioned on the page, as no school of this name exists in that area. I've stricken my vote as it no longer applies, however. GassyGuy 11:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Schools are not inherently notable, and nothing in the non-vandalized versions give any indication of notability for this school. Furthermore, if this can't be verified, then that's an even better reason to delete. Agent 86 21:57, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Follow-up. I see that North Star Middle school is now gone, but North Star Middle School has taken its place and is a disambiguation page. As an article, I still see nothing notable despite the recent verification. As a disambiguation redirecting to an article on a school district, as long as it's to a list of schools within a school district, I can't object too strongly. However, it now begs the question as to whether this AfD ought to be closed as the article is no longer an article, and any discussion (if any) must now take place on WP:MFD.

• Redirect to Lincoln Public Schools per Rabid Keep but clean up per Bp28. I verified some information. --Starionwolf 22:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• changed vote thanks to Rabid --Starionwolf 01:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete To me, it looks like a disambig page, but instead of linking to other wiki articles it has external links —Mets501^talk 23:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: It now links to one valid source of info within Wikipedia, which has apparently existed a while (Lincoln Public Schools) Vulcher 00:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I agree with Agent 86's thoughts on the (lack of inherent) notability of schools, especially middle schools, and I also agree with his (I apologize if saying "his" is a poor assumption) thoughts on this middle school not being particularly unique or important. WP:V, of course, is also a big issue. -- Kicking222 23:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This article was created by a user in order to put nonsense into Wikipedia [1], [2]. It's not like some seventh-graders wrote an accurate article about their school which was later vandalized. Now this article has been turned into a disambiguation page about two real schools by this name, but these are still just middle schools with no content in this article other than their location and should be deleted per Mets501. --Metropolitan90 23:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:20, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Lincoln Public Schools. --RabidMonkeysEatGrass 00:32, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless substantial verifiable content can be found. Currently, this is nothing but links. Jesuschex 04:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep, this is a valid and now verifiable disambiguation page. Silensor 17:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all schools are notable see Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep.  ALKIVAR™ 17:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Alkivar. Also, regularly being vandalized is not a deletion criterion. --Myles Long 18:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and redirect. Czj 20:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• keep and please do not redirect there is more than one here Yuckfoo 22:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It seems like the information has now been verified, and the schools do exist Vulcher 00:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as a useful disambiguation page. Bahn Mi 00:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
