[edit] Bishop Kearney Field

This isn't even about a school. It's about a non-notable athletic field at a non-notable school. Delete with extreme prejudice. Neutralitytalk 23:25, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge with and create school article. Lupin 02:49, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, pro-sports venue establishes notability, although it would be nice to have an article about the school which it serves, and the field entry a mere part of it. Rlquall 02:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with and create school article. --BaronLarf 03:29, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Looking at the article I notice that it's the home field of a highly successful pro Lacrosse team. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:34, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. --Calton | Talk 03:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. The Rochester Rattlers deserve an article; this field doesn't. Quale 04:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 04:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Verifiable and NPOV. First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge. When there's a school article, we can merge this into that. But thanks to all the VfD traffic, I have no time to do it myself. --Unfocused 04:54, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with the appropriate school or school district article. Kelly Martin 05:14, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete unless someone writes an article about the school before end of VfD, in which case merge and redirect. JYolkowski // talk 20:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)Looks like someone's created the school article and merged the content in, so redirect. JYolkowski // talk 02:16, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 22:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • DELETE No, notability is not a deletion criterion, but the logic of keeping this article implies that we create entries for all fields named after bishops around the world. Keep a perspective of a Martian who just landed on planet earth, people! Project2501a 22:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notability is still not a deletion criterion. It's NPOV and verifiable. That's sufficient. James F. (talk) 23:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable field used for playing major league lacross. Klonimus 13:23, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. (1)We don't even have a policy about schools yet, (2)schools are important and should be included, (3)this massive deletion campaign is terrible. Introduce a limit of 3 vfd nominations per day. Expand this stub. Project Schoolwatch. --Zantastik 22:33, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
  • 'Delete - I don't usually enter into VfD debates but I'll make an exception for this. BrokenSegue 00:14, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, this is the sports field of a major league lacross team, and should not become an innocent victim of the schools controversy. Kappa 22:21, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, this goes beyond our normal "to school or not to school" debate. This is the home field of a professional sports team. - Jersyko 01:17, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
