[edit] York Hill Elementary School

DeleteVanity, not notable, and I don't need to know when the bbq is. --Kennyisinvisible 01:04, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, totally non-notable elementary school per Schools for Deletion. Has no potential for any notable future growth. And the BBQ is irrelevant, wikipedia is not a BBQ directory either. Keeping stuff like this is continuing to set a bad precedent. Gateman1997 01:10, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Gateman. Johntex 01:49, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. correct name is Yorkhill Elementary School, and it's not notable. Gazpacho 02:22, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Not notable. Sunray 03:11, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Substub. Gamaliel 04:39, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge to Thornhill, Ontario. There isn't much verifiable information to hand on this school and it should probably be covered in the town article. I don't see any point in just deleting it; it's a public institution. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 05:30, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or merge. Very little information. --Carnildo 06:07, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or keep. If that fails, then keep. —RaD Man (talk) 08:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• D. nn. Radiant_>|< 08:46, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Elementary schools? No way. NN per definition. --Lomedae 09:00, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or merge into Thornhill, Ontario. This article is near a substub and the only interesting bit of info is the Herbrew Kindergarten thingy. which means it would get a WP:BEEFSTEW score of "1". - Mgm|^(talk) 09:25, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or weak merge. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:07, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete after merging. BlankVerse ∅ 11:40, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Someone will say that merge and delete is not a compatible vote with GFDL. So just mention the name of the school in Thornhill, Ontario, and delete this. Proto t c 12:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, per my usual reasoning.--Scimitar ^parley 13:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep please this school looks notable but the name is off Yuckfoo 16:42, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, there's not even anything worth merging. --TimPope 17:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable. Kappa 17:40, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Please! Pilatus 18:19, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete definitely not notable. Dunc|☺ 18:36, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Substantial school for pupils up to about 14. Osomec 19:10, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep is notable, and several individual articles exist for individual schools in Wikipedia. D. J. Bracey (talk) 19:24, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment "several"? This is close to becoming Edupedia or Schoolopedia. In a few months we won't have a serious encyclopedia, but we will have a comprehensive webguide to all schools in the UsA. Until now I thought even the most rabid school inclusionists drew the line at elementary schools. Alas. --Lomedae 19:34, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
    • Believe it or not, we actually had two articles on preschools on VfD a few weeks ago. Bafflingly, they both got a few keep votes. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:22, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
      • Unfortunately, the deletionists carried the day on the preschools, however eventually well-written articles about preschools will be able to survive the barbarity of the VfD process.--Nicodemus75 22:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
      • If you think that's odd, I put my local Albertsons grocery store up, and when it was VFDed it actually got keep votes. Some people will keep anything as long as it has four walls.Gateman1997 21:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. We keep high schools, but this is too much. Sdedeo 19:45, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. As many user above point out, this is a notable school. It is notable not only for its multiculturalism, but most strikingly for it's hosting of a religious school - a notable rarity in Canadian public schools. Also, it is a school. I simply cannot afford to vote Bicycle on this nomination because it looks like it might be close.--Nicodemus75 22:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  • What is that bicycle nonsense anyway? And yes it's a school, a non-notable one. Check Google and alumni... it has few hits and no alums of note. This school is no more notable then my house and is taking up valuable server space.Gateman1997 23:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
    • It is not taking up any signficant amount of server space. Kappa 23:55, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
      • It's taking up too much by taking up any. As I said it's no more notable or ethnically diverse then my house. Gateman1997 00:01, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
        • You have young Jewish children, East Indians, Pakistanis, Arabs and Caucasians all in your house????--Nicodemus75 01:21, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
        • How many men made of straw do you have boarding in your house? —RaD Man(talk) 01:26, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
          • No, but I have whites, vietnamese, african americans, and a mexican jew living with me.Gateman1997 01:32, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per User:Soltak/Views#Schools Soltak | Talk 22:57, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - non notatble / no historial value / no noted alumni or staff - 83.151.204.235 23:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Nothing to see here, move along. CDThieme 00:53, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. - brenneman^(t)(c) 01:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This school is great, I'm sure, and it does not merit inclusion in an encyclopedia. Nandesuka 11:53, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable school. *drew 12:03, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanishingly few elementary schools are encyclopedically notable. Quale 16:33, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Thornhill, Ontario and redirect. -- DS1953 17:05, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per previous arguments to do so. Hamster Sandwich 21:21, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep this good faith addition of good content from a welcome, probably new and as of yet unregistered Wikipedia editor. Schools are notable enough topics for articles. If we give new users this kind of welcome, far fewer of them will stay. Unfocused 18:58, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • That's nonsense. I got the same kind of welcome and I'm still here.Gateman1997 19:03, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
    • NOTE: I didn't say "none" would stay. Unfocused 19:23, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment If they're only here to add non-notable elementary schools then I won't shed a tear if they leave. And the last thing this project needs is more unregistered editors... --Lomedae 21:06, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment The last thing this project needs is more of the same rhetoric from elitist, exclusionist, deletionists. Being registered (especially for only a month) does not a good editor make.--Nicodemus75 01:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment tsk tsk tsk. Big talk :-D Calling someone names whilst yourself are trying to push a religious agenda is quite iffy :-)--Lomedae 08:44, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, borderline notable. 24 at 18:55, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: very few elementary schools are notable and this one is not. Jonathunder 00:43, 2005 September 3 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable, per nominator. --Metropolitan90 06:41, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
