[edit] Terril Middle School

DELETE PLEASE! Are we going to have stubs for every middle school in the world? WikiDon 06:41, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

* Delete nn middle school --JAranda | watz sup 06:42, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect per Kappa --JAranda | watz sup 08:57, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Terrill Middle School. Kappa 07:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Apparently so, but I don't have to like it. Gazpacho 07:43, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • No, but you could help to put an end to wasted time and bitterness by resistimg the temptation to vote delete as a forlorn gesture. CalJW 15:22, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

    When nobody was voting delete on non-notable schools, they were used to justify articles about ridiculously trivial subjects, much as Pokemon is used to justify schools. Gazpacho 17:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy redirect to Terrill Middle School --rob 11:08, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I put a nonfunctioning redirect in place, so nobody accidently ads to the article. I'll leave it to an admin to make it a funcitoning redirect when the AFD notice is removed, and this AFD is closed. --rob 11:13, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy redirect per Kappa. Thanks for the heads-up. Jacqui ^{★ 15:55, 2 November 2005 (UTC)}
• Strong Delete per forlorn gesture of bitterness.--Isotope23 16:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete — I'm not a member of the deeply-embittered "must delete all grade school articles" crowd ;-), but this redirect seems pointless. — RJH 16:13, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per RJH. Does not seem a common spelling mistake. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 16:28, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, with no redirect, you can spell a word wrong an infinite number of ways. There's no space for infinite redirects -Andrew 17:51, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect is unnecessary but better than keeping. (I'm not a school deletionist, but this is an exception.) Also, encourage one of the teachers to set a class project to improve Terrill Middle School. AndyJones 17:56, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete w/o redirect. This is the incorrect spelling of that school anyway. We don't redirect people's lack of spelling ability.Gateman1997 19:41, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes we do. Kappa 19:46, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Well then maybe we should revisit that policy rather then pandering to the lowest common denominator.Gateman1997 19:52, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Gateman, with all due respect, this is not something that Wikipedia alone does. It's a common practice in many libraries, for example, to include common misspellings in search software. Knowledge is for everyone... not just those who spell every word in the universe correctly. Jacqui ^{★ 20:05, 2 November 2005 (UTC)}
        • True but in this case we're referring to a proper noun, for instance we wouldn't redirect Abraham Lincol to Abraham Lincoln.Gateman1997 20:18, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
          • There is no rule against redirecting proper nouns, and there can be few which would be more likely to be misspelled than this one. CalJW 22:52, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• keep please it is a possibloe way to accidentally spell the name of that school and that is one of the reasons that we have these kind of redirects Yuckfoo 19:50, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete the redirect per RJH. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:59, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Terrill Middle School as per Kappa. FWIW, we also have redirects from Malcom X and Abraham Lincon. Thanks for selecting such excellent examples. Silensor 20:39, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The latter one, it should be noted, exists only because you created it just a few hours earlier. --Aquillion 07:16, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
    • OH SNAP! I love it when people use new "evidence" they created because their argument is weak.Gateman1997 19:02, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
      • If you feel that my argument is weak, or more specifically, if you feel that the redirect should not exist, please go to WP:RFD immediately and request that it be deleted. Take note that the Malcom X redirect has existed since May 2002. One of the main reasons redirects exist is to help facilitate the finding of information and redirect the reader to the correct location. If you are at all lost by this, believe me I understand. Silensor 19:28, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Article, under whatever name, fails to establish notability. --Carnildo 23:59, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect as noted. -- DS1953 ^talk 01:05, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. There are, as Silensor points out, redirects for Abraham Lincon.--Nicodemus75 01:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Only because Silensor created it yesterday after my example...Gateman1997 19:03, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Terrill Middle School. "The students in grades 6-8 have seven periods a day." Can you BELIEVE it?? Denni☯ 03:53, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect as noted. Rumor has it that redirects are cheap, have you heard? —RaD Man (talk) 05:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
