[edit] Beauxbaton Academy

Procedural nomination for anon user:216.185.84.246 who wrote on Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy "Would someone please delete Beauxbaton Academy? It is fictional. I am brand new, have no idea how to do this, and figure that this will get it done fairly quickly. Sorry to dump it in here-- please delete this entry when you fix Beauxbaton." I have no opinion (yet). Rossami (talk) 05:19, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: If the timestamps on the articles are correct, approximately one half hour after posting this request for assistance with the deletion nomination, a user from the same anon IP attempted to blank the article. Rossami (talk) 05:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - a quick Google "Beauxbaton Academy" -potter -magic -forum seems to indicate that outside "Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu" there's little to be found. Anyone have any sources? - brenneman^(t)(c) 05:29, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete with a chuckle. Durova 05:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC) Okay, redirect. Durova 14:26, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No verifiable sources for this as all references to Montesquieu are sourced to Wikipedia. Capitalistroadster 05:57, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Beauxbatons as a plausible search term. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• REDIRECT per Sjakkalle. I was going to vote keep, as, even tho its fictional, it being mentioned in Harry Potter, makes it notable. But since an article already exists, its a redirect. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 09:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect it's a no brainer surely? Steve block talk 10:02, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Beauxbatons. Just because it's fictional doesn't mean it should be deleted as a topic. Jtmichcock 12:45, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect as per above, with removal of reference to Montesquieu, who is an actual French political philosopher (see Baron de Montesquieu.) The Beauxbatons exists in Harry Potter, but BdM obviously never attended. Stephen Job 13:39, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect of course. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:30, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Beauxbatons, and remove any Baron de Montesquieu references. Carioca 21:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect per Andrew Lenahan. Stifle 15:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
