[edit] Village School Charlottesville Virginia (3rd nomination)

Village School Charlottesville Virginia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A prior no consensus decision was overturned at deletion review, but the discussion was inconclusive as to what to do with the article, so it's back here for more discussion, incl. whether there are non-trivial secondary sources. Procedural nomination, no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 00:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Forgive me for not reading the previous discussions. Although the article is referenced, I am not at all convinced of its notability. YechielMan 00:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete nn middle school. Resolute 00:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete If we are deleting non-notable schools (which we are) this one should go Jules1975 09:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per both of my previous nominations. Michaelas10 (Talk) 10:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - it's a school, hence it's notable. Markb 13:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Not necessarily. Please see WP:SCHOOL and WP:LOCAL. Michaelas10 (Talk) 13:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• comment I argue that schools are notable because they have a profound affect on their pupils (this could be several thousand people, depending on the age & size of a school). As such, this makes them notable, not only to their community but to the world at large if former pupils move away. Markb 13:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with Charlottesville, Virginia article per WP:LOCAL. It looks like the school exists and serves a good function in its community, but there is nothing to show it is notable. If it ever becomes notable the article could be recreated. By the way, how often can one re-nominate the same article without it being considered disruptive editing?

• Delete With respect, what makes this school different to any other school in the world? If there was a wikipedia article for every school in the world there would be about an extra million articles, it fails WP:SCHOOL.Tellyaddict^{Editor review!} 16:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete per WP:SCHOOL - it does look like just demographic data. If it's been up twice before and still no reliable outside sources have been provided to establish notability, it should probably be deleted. Charles Kinbote 17:54, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for notability. Why are we still doing this with this article? They've had plenty of opportunities to demonstrate notability, and I still don't see it. Philippe Beaudette 18:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per all above. Completely non-notable middle school. While some people have made arguments for the inclusion of every high school (most of which I disagree with) I find it completely unreasonable to suggest that a middle school is notable simply by virtue of its existence.

• Delete sources fail WP:RS thus school fails WP:V Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 23:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Still fails on notability concerns, and still has weak references. WMMartin 19:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Charlottesville, Virginia as per WP:LOCAL and multiple proposed school guidelines. Yamaguchi先生 08:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
