[edit] Brent Kennedy Elementary School

Brent Kennedy Elementary School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable primary school with no assertion of notability. Emeraude (talk) 11:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. It's a school; therefore it will have had a profound impact on all past and present pupils. Markb (talk) 12:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete- no assertion of notability. It is already listed in the school district page so no merge is needed. GtstrickyTalk or C 14:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and yell NOOOOOOOOOO to the "impact on students" logic... that's what homepages are for... let's make an article for Dunkin Donuts next...Epthorn (talk) 16:06, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
    • coment Here it is: Dunkin_Donuts. I await your proposal for deletion Markb (talk) 06:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
      • I suspect Epthorn meant an article for the Vancouver CMA (Surrey) Dunkin Donuts: [1]. CRGreathouse (t | c) 16:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 18:35, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to School District 8 Kootenay Lake. Redirects are cheap and deletion makes no sense. TerriersFan (talk) 19:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Re-direct to School District 8 Kootenay Lake - A simple solution, beneficial for navigation and preserves page history if anything happens to make the school notable enough for its own article in the future. Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 20:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: no assertion of notability, no reason to think it's notable. A redirect would be fine as well. CRGreathouse (t | c) 21:08, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: it is a school. So what? And groceries are... well, groceries. My local grocery has a profound impact on all its customers, I may assure you. Goochelaar (talk) 22:50, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
    • coment I doubt your local shop taught you to read and write and hence contribute here. Markb (talk) 06:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
      • First: Actually my mother taught me, and she was a great woman, but nonetheless she does not deserve a WP article, or not for that reason, at least. Second: My local grocer sells me food on a daily basis, which turns out to be essential for my continuing to contribute wto WP. Third and most important: You understood perfectly well what I meant. Happy editing, Goochelaar (talk) 16:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
        • Your local grocery may well have a profound impact on all its customers. mine does. But your assurance alone won't cut it. If you can find sources that would meet WP:N (and I guess WP:ORG for a business), WP:V, and WP:RS, then your local grocery would also be worth a Wikipedia article, just like mine is. We also have articles on a lot of mothers who meet WP:BIO. There's a lot of room on the Internet for a lot of Wikipedia articles. But there will never be enough time to work out all the niggling ideas about notability if we don't have simple, broad rules for it, or broad rules for simple categories of items like schools. Your personal ideas about what's notable are just that -- personal. What we need are principles that everyone can understand that would lead, let's hope, to eventual consensus.Noroton (talk) 16:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect with School District 8 Kootenay Lake since it is barely an article better suited off there Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 00:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, elementary schools have to show notability like everything else. There is about one elementary school for every 3200 people in the US, so assuming Canada has about the same proportion, there are 10,000 elementary schools in Canada. I would rather not see 10,000 redirects, Wikipedia's internal search engine will find it. AnteaterZot (talk) 00:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable entry and redirect to School District 8 Kootenay Lake. Mh29255 (talk) 01:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per Coccyx Bloccyx et al. The article mentions no notable alumni, no sports, no major academic programs, no arts/music progam, etc., therefore, it is not notable in my book. Bearian (talk) 00:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect School District 8 Kootenay Lake to as per Terriersfan, Coccyx Bloccyx. I would rather see redirects so that if someone is willing to actually create an article that meets Wikipedia standards, they will have as few difficulties to creating it as possible. Pace, AnteaterZot, I'd rather see 10,000 Canadian elementary school redirects that might eventually lead to 10,000 Canadian elementary school articles, each one meeting WP:N, WP:RS, WP:V. We would be a better encyclopedia for it. Noroton (talk) 16:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
    • I doubt that 1 in 100 Canadian elementary schools are notable. AnteaterZot (talk) 02:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect with the hopes of saving ourselves from these exact same arguments every time a school is nominated for deletion. Keeper | 76 23:00, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to School District 8 Kootenay Lake. DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or Rediect. Nothing to merge. Vegaswikian (talk) 04:27, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to school district page as suggested. (jarbarf) (talk) 00:10, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
