[edit] Air Base Elementary School

Non notable elementary school Dismas|^(talk) 06:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Merge this and the other stub articles on Miami schools to a Elementary schools of the Miami-Dade Public Schools system. Local notability only. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:44, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Kappa 06:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. ouch. Pilatus 09:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all non-notable elementary schools. TheMadBaron 11:36, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, and I question the wisdom of nominating so many schools at once. The nominator does not appear to have had time to research each school individually, and instead may be promoting a blanket policy of "no elementary schools are notable". This particular school was the first to desegregate in its area. Surely that's even more notable than the average school. Pburka 13:58, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

When the article came up for deletion it was the usual trite stub with address, principal and school mascot. The paragraph on desegregation was added only after the article was nominated. Articles are judged on their own merit, and if they fail they end up here. The author should be slapped with a big fish for for doing poor research, not the nominator.

• Delete not notable. AFAIK only Dragon School is. Congratulate the nominator for excellent crufthunting. Dunc|☺ 14:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all articles nominated by Dismas this day. All were nominated in bad faith. This is a copy/paste mass nomination. I don't have time to read, analyze, and vote for every one. It's absurd somebody can remove large content from wikipedia, by simply nominating quicker than others can vote to keep. TWhat's really sad, is recently there was a hoax school created by a senior user. It took a lot of time and investigation to prove it was a hoax. Of course, inicidents like that make me want to spend more time for each school, to verify it should be kept. But, now I have to either quickly vote for every school risking some bad ones are kept, or let a bunch of good ones be deleted. AFD takes time and thought, and should not be ruined by spam. --rob 15:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Concur utterly with Rob. IMHO schools are inherently noteable. Any comparisons to vehicles and apt. buildings ignore that the children of our future are being educated in them (hopefully well enough to understand and contribute to Wikipedia someday!) This mass delete nomination is very bad faith. IMHO Dismas' barnstar was unwarrented and has gone to his head. Please stop doing this - all of us have better things to do, hopefully even you.

    • AFD takes time and thought, and should not be ruined by spam. No, writing an encyclopedia takes time and thought, and "spam" is a pretty good description of slapped-together cookie-cutter entries about Yet Another School take belong in the Yellow Pages more than they do in a real enecyclopedia. --Calton | Talk 04:16, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Delete.--Isotope23 15:15, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Clear bad faith mass nomination. It is inappropriate to mass-nominate articles for deletion on the specious criteria that "elementary schools are inherently non-notable". If this sort of mass-nomination is allowed, it will set a very bad precedent for the AfD process in general.--Nicodemus75 15:29, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep --Vsion 15:41, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Schools are no more notable than apartment buildings. Bunchofgrapes 18:40, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Nominating en masse does not appear to be a productive measure, but I am assuming that the nominator did so in the best of faith. Please read Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep to better understand why these articles are important to the community. Silensor 19:09, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. No basis for deletion. Christopher Parham (talk) 19:37, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Please do something useful instead. CalJW 21:50, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, schools are notable, bad faith mass nomination - Wikipedia is not paper. Who gave Dismas his janitorial barnstar??? Unwarranted time wasting effort to remove all elementary and middle schools from Wikipedia. KillerChihuahua 23:20, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no more reason for an entry then my car.Gateman1997 23:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, schools are not inherently notable. Lord Bob 00:50, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete All Elementary Schools I live in the Miami area and they aren't really notable here --Aranda56 01:37, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep article about verifiable public institution and censure nominator for disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point. --Gene_poole 04:09, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • verifiable public institution So's your local bus yard, so I look forward to your in-depth treatment very soon. --Calton | Talk 04:16, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. About as notable as my local bus stop. --Calton | Talk 04:16, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Its that simple. Merge would be better but it gets counted as a keep for the article which is not what the goal of the merge suggestions above. Vegaswikian 05:55, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete only famous schools should have articles --redstucco 08:45, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, per Calton. Of course, some people think every bus stop article is worthy of inclusion too. Nandesuka 13:00, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Well written, formatted and referenced stub. We should be encouraging this type of participation. Unfocused 21:39, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
