[edit] Bensalem Township School District

Irrelevant article about a school district; contains no useful information Bveale 06:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge with Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania - CheNuevara 09:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge as per CheNuevara. Catchpole 10:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, since there's nothing to merge. We have two sentences: one of them states the obvious (that the township has schools), and the other makes the unlikely claim that "Bensalem Township is often recognized by having a very diverse student body of many different nationalities" -- unlikely, because there are literally millions upon millions of towns and districts across the world that "have very diverse student bodies of many different nationalities", and it seems quite implausible that this one is actually considered particularly noteworthy (just 436 ghits for "bensalem township" diversity; the first one is about diversity of extreme sports, and the second one is for the sentence "The low level of diversity within the student population..."). — Haeleth Talk 10:25, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Touche. Redirect it, though, since someone obviously came looking for it. - CheNuevara 10:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Actually, it came up when I hit the random button. --Bveale 15:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect per above (Liberatore, 2006). 12:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per noml not notable. -- Whpq 13:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete/Merge as per nom. Jefffire 14:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment — The article is an amazing two weeks old. With the same amount of effort as spent on this deletion process, it could instead be a much more interesting article that was worth saving. Brilliant. ;-) — RJH (talk)
    • Based on the current content I'm changing my preference to Keep. Thanks to whomever revised the page. :-) — RJH (talk) 15:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I concur with RJH, needs attention and clean-up 65.122.138.194 14:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete/Merge per above. Wrath of Roth 16:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge or Redirect to Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania. This doesn't need an AFD to do. Themindset 17:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. School districts are separate from municipal governments in most places in the United States and Canada, and in general warrant their own articles. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 19:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Per RJH —— Eagle (ask me for help) 19:51, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually I didn't think it worth keeping as it was; I just thought thought it would have been just as easy to expand the stub as it would be to delete. But no matter. :-) — RJH (talk) 22:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, obviously. School districts are completely notable. The article has been rewritten using reliable sources, and still has room for expansion. Silensor 03:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Silensor. Czj 06:23, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • keep please districts are very important ant article is being rewritten Yuckfoo 06:52, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. If high schools are inherently notable, then school districts certainly are. --Aguerriero (talk) 15:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per CheNuevara. — Reinyday, 17:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Silensor, school districts need not be nominated. Yamaguchi先生 22:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep school districts are obviously noteworthy.--Nicodemus75 02:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. relevant article about a school district per above. --JJay 16:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above comment that school districts, just like high schools, are obviously noteworthy. There are people who don't want schools on Wikipedia. Capit 18:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. School districts are encylopedic even if their schools are not. Vegaswikian 20:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
