The result of the debate was {{{1|}}} '''Keep'''. There is some sentiment that this should be marked as archival, but not a sufficiently strong consensus for me to feel comfortable so doing. Of course, such a choice is always open to editorial discretion and talk page discussion. [[User:Xoloz|Xoloz]] 15:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
====[[Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments]]====
Leftover effluvia from a [[WP:SCHOOL|failed policy proposal]]. This is being used in lieu of discussion on [[WP:AFD]], which subverts the fact that AFD is not a vote.
Incidentally, I deleted this (probably shouldn't have, but oh well) and redirected the redlink and nobody noticed for two days. Nobody really reads this page any more; it's cited as though it were policy, when no such policy exists. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <
*'''Delete''' per nom. Citing this failed policy, as AMIB has said, has become pretty rife in AFD. I'm not sure if this will change any of that, but optimism never hurt anyone. --[[User:Kuzaar|Kuzaar]]<sup>-[[User talk:Kuzaar|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Kuzaar|C]]-</sup> 18:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' and stamp as an archive. [[User:BD2412/deletion debates|<span style="background:gold">'''''bd2412'''''</span>]] [[User talk:BD2412/deletion debates|'''T''']] 19:08, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Speedy Keep'''. This nomination is [[WP:DISRUPT|disruptive]]. As admitted, the nominator previously intentionally deleted this page by re-direction without adhereing to proper procedure. It is informative that his attitude towards to his action is "oh well". This page is cited throughout [[WP:SCHOOL]] as part of that historical debate and should be archived as part of that discussion for the same historical reasons as the rest of the debate. [[WP:SCHOOL]] itself has at least 5 links to this page, as well as many interspersed in the historically-archived discussion pages of [[WP:SCHOOL]] - deleting this article destroys the integrity of archiving [[WP:SCHOOL]] for historical reasons. I have never seen this page cited as policy, although it is regularly used to summarize the positions held by various parties in ongong discussions regarding school-related articles. It is entirely appropriate for editors to cite a summary of their rationale on this page (or frankly, any other page) in the course of AfD discussions. In any event, even if someone were improperly citing the page as policy, that is not a valid criterion for deleting this subpage and section of the [[WP:SCHOOL]] historical discussion. It is also an outright lie that "nobody really reads this page any more" as can be easily seen from the edit history, it was edited for content as recently as June 29, 2006, and it is irrelevant whether anyone "really reads this page any more" as it is part of the archived [[WP:SCHOOL]] discussion. The assertion that "nobody noticed for two days" is patently false. The nominator inappropriately redirected this page at 20:02, 25 July 2006, I had asked for assistance from another admin in less than a day and half [[User talk:Alkivar#Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments|here]], which was as soon as I noticed the inappropriate abuse of redirection.--[[User:Nicodemus75|Nicodemus75]] 19:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
*:How is nominating a page I want deleted on MFD disruptive? Isn't that what MFD is for?
*:Anyway, "Keep per [[Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep]]" is what I mean by citing it as policy. People are citing it in lieu of discussion. That said, I'd be more or less happy tagging it as rejected; BD is right that that would solve my main objection. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 19:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
::*You forgot to mention that just as many people use it to say "Delete per [[Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Delete]]". I find this interesting since you just speedily-deleted a Richmond BC school article today ([[Bridge Elementary School]]) without having to resort to the arguments in WP:SCHOOL. Deletion of WP:SCHOOL would just make further school article deletions that much easier to complete. --[[User:S charette|Stephane Charette]] 20:03, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' (edit conflict, three times!) and affix an archive header, such as {{tl|historical}}, which is customary. The initial [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=A+Man+In+Black&page=Wikipedia%3ASchools%2FArguments speedy deletion] of this page by A Man In Black was clearly meant to be disruptive, but I am willing to assume good faith in the nomination process, for whatever that is worth. [[User:Silensor|Silensor]] 19:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
**People seem awfully eager to jump up and point out something I already disclaimed. :P - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 19:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Comment'''. I don't think folks are quoting it as policy, but rather as a shorthand way of referring to common issues concerning schools and AfDs. Whether that is or isn't helpful is another question. -[[User:Will Beback|Will Beback]] 19:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
**'''Comment'''. I agree, to a degree. Similarly, I think that such intellectual shorthand is harmful to the process in that it's almost exactly like saying "well, last time this happened you said X and I said Y and we left at an impasse, so let's just stack up the two sides of our votes", which (pretty obviously) flies in the spirit of Wikipedian consensus-building processes. --[[User:Kuzaar|Kuzaar]]<sup>-[[User talk:Kuzaar|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Kuzaar|C]]-</sup> 20:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' - AMIB, you are as likely to repeat the same old tired arguements as anybody else. You may elect to retype them, and superficially reword them each time (saying things that could easily be swapped from one debate to another, unnoticed). That's your choice. Others opt to make the same old arguements by linking to them; and write extra words, only when there's something more unique to say. That's their choice. Saying "Keep per X" does not imply "X" is policy. Some people prefer spending their time contributing content to article space, where it might be appreciated. --[[User:Thivierr|Rob]] 00:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
**I've come up with novel comments, and had novel responses that forced me to reconsider my thinking. That can't happen when it's just "Foo-ize per [[page that isn't a policy]]." - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 07:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
***With all sincerity, could you please direct me to any truly novel arguments in the debate over schools that hasn't been mentioned in any of the past 750 AfD discussion and [[WP:SCHOOL]] in the past 2 years? I can't even recall the last time I saw a truly novel point made in the reams of discussions. I am not talking about witty re-phrasing that some editors on both sides (including myself) will sometims use, nor am talking about bringing up the same old tired arguments after laying low for a few months (I have noticed that some very old arguments are popping into circulation again recently).--[[User:Nicodemus75|Nicodemus75]] 00:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
****The [[WP:CORP]] argument, for one. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 01:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
*****AMIB, I don't suggest you *never* have specific per-school-article comments. Rather, I suggest, most of the time, you've made generic rehashes of old comments, which were no different than the "keep per link" type, except you do more typing. Many people who say "keep/delete per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments" in certain AFDs, also (like you) make more unique comments on other AFDs where appropriate. Please stop pretending you've been making more constructive contributions than others. Of course if you really were making lots of useful novel constructive arguements worth reading and discussing, which resulted in genuine progress, we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we? --[[User:Thivierr|Rob]] 03:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
*****I was simply speaking from my own experience. Nico asked for an example of a novel argument, so I offered one. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 04:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''', we don't delete failed policy proposals because they are historically important, yet if you ''ever'' see someone quoting one in a discussion, be sure to slap him about with a large trout. --[[User:Cyde|<span style="color:#ff66ff;cursor:w-resize;">'''Cyde↔Weys'''</span>]] 15:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' personally I prefer to use 1000page+ Unix handbooks (for slapping), but other than that I agree with Cyde. [[User:CharonX|Charon]][[User:CharonX/Userboxes|<span style="color:Black;"><b>X</b></span>]]/[[User talk:CharonX|<i>talk</i>]] 16:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' as historical. --[[User:Zoz|Zoz]] ''[[User_talk:Zoz|(t)]]'' 00:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' and '''tag''' as rejected to stop people from citing it as if it were policy (which it, of course, is not). Seeing that some school inclusionists believe there is a conspiracy to delete all school articles on Wikipedia, this may need protection. If people continue to cite it, it can be reviewed again later, and I'll vote to delete. --'''[[User:Coredesat|Core]][[User:Coredesat/Esperanza|<span style="color:green;">des</span>]][[User:Coredesat|at]]''' <small>[[User talk:Coredesat|talk. ^_^]]</small> 03:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
**'''Comment'''. Please cite one example where someone said this was a policy. People linking to this page (which contains arguments to keep schools and delete schools, I might add) as the rationale for their position on an AfD are hardly "citing it as policy". Given that the arguments to keep and the arguments to delete are diametrically opposite and contained on the same page, how could anyone mistake this page for a "policy"?--[[User:Nicodemus75|Nicodemus75]] 03:43, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''', policy digest should be preserved for historical reasons and as a precedent. - [[User:Mailer diablo|Mailer Diablo]] 08:44, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''; this is what should be done with repetitious argument. Compare [[Wikipedia:T1 and T2 debates]]. The correct response, if this is cited in AfD, is to note that this is a collection of arguments, not policy. [[User:Pmanderson|Septentrionalis]] 17:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''', useful page to avoid repetition of similar arguments on thousands of AFD pages. [[User:Christopher Parham|Christopher Parham]] [[User talk:Christopher Parham|(talk)]] 19:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' - I just didn't want this cited as policy any more. It has been marked as historical and the contents are in the page history. If someone wants to make an argument on a school AFD, be it keep or delete, that person can make their argument. Anyone who can't be bothered to do anything but vote is better saving their effort, since AFD isn't a vote. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 06:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
**If linking to this page is that much of a bother, I at least would be happy to paste the content directly into AFDs. [[User:Christopher Parham|Christopher Parham]] [[User talk:Christopher Parham|(talk)]] 07:09, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
***What's wrong with ''just making your own argument''?

****The arguments on that page are mine, I have adopted them for use in discussing the issue of whether schools should be included in Wikipedia. [[User:Christopher Parham|Christopher Parham]] [[User talk:Christopher Parham|(talk)]] 07:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
*****There's nothing wrong with being convinced by arguments made by others, or putting your arguments somewhere in your userspace to show to others. There is a problem with making a ready-made tool for users to cite when bloc-voting, especially when that tool is used in lieu of discussion on AFD, which is not a vote. We aren't here to have a KEEP faction and a DELETE faction sterilely linking their vote-bloc page and saying little more. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 07:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
******I understand your concern about the nature of these AFDs, but it's only a natural result of the fact that we've had the argument about whether schools are notable hundreds of times. The discussions are sterile because there is nothing (or at least very little) new to be added to this deliberation, removing this page is not going to change that. [[User:Christopher Parham|Christopher Parham]] [[User talk:Christopher Parham|(talk)]] 07:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
*******All the more reason to do something about a page that is making them even more sterile. It's not something that can be fixed all at once, but if we can force everyone to actually make their case instead of citing a page with a laundry-list of generic arguments (like we do with ''every single other AFD on Wikipedia''), it's at least a start. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 07:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Comment''': [[User:A Man In Black]] has now resorted to page blanking, which is essentially a form of vandalism. That's normal for a newbie, but not an admin. This combined with the initial out-of-process speedy deletion of this page, is very concerning. --[[User:Thivierr|Rob]] 15:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' Yep, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments&action=history article history] seems to be chock full of [[WP:3RR]], [[WP:POINT]], [[WP:DISRUPT]]. Seems like this could have been avoided with some type of page protection. While the specific actions of the history may not be 100% pertinent to this AfD, hopefully it will be more completely reviewed in another forum. — [[User:MrDolomite|MrDolomite]] | [[User talk:MrDolomite|Talk]] 17:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
**Give me a break. I explained my removal of the arguments on talk, had explicative edit summaries, and a number of users have expressed a desire to not see this cited as a reason to ''vote'' in current AFD ''discussions''. Instead of flinging around accusations of vandalism, you may want to discuss this on talk instead of just claiming "I have community support, so you're vandalising!" - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 19:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Ok, trying to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments&action=history keep track] of what tag is on the article, is like trying to catch a greased pig.

*'''Summarise and then redirect'''. AMiB is right: people cite this as if it were a consensus to keep stuff, when in fact there was a very strong majority in favour of anything but, thwarted by an obdurate but highly vocal minority. This should be summarised and turned into a redirect to [[WP:SCHOOLS]].

**Please read the *whole* page. Notice, that there are *four* sets of arguements, including merging and deletion. While original arguements are good, any good arguement, is founded on prior arguements that have been made in the past. Linking to foundational arguements, instead of repeating them is good. Merging to [[WP:SCHOOLS]] is weird, because that is an actuall ''proposal'' (or "proposals"), which was rejected. This page, is simply a collection of common arguements. Nobody I know of, has ever used the whole page, but merely used the part(s) they support. Some have used more than one part, depending on the article. Often, that's combined with original/unique comemnts on top. Since many people have used this in AFDs, blanking, or redirection, is retroactively changing historical comments people have made. That's the equivilent of editing another editors comments, to change the meaning of what they said.--[[User:Thivierr|Rob]] 19:25, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. If some of the arguments on that page are found useful by some editors, they may be usefully cited. It would be an unusual act to delete a project page, ''because it was still in use'', rather than because it wasn't. --[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]] 20:06, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' - I find it striking that discussion of many of the points on this page is expressly discouraged. When someone has questioned a point, they've been redirected to the [[WP:SCHOOLS]] discussion, which is now defunct. So, if someone thinks a point on this page is nonsense, where do we discuss the appropriateness of that point? - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="color:black;">'''Bl♟ck'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 20:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
* '''Strong Keep'''. Useful page that sums up the pros/cons of school articles on wikipedia. The nominator's claim that discussion is being "subverted" on AfD is false. Wikipedians are mostly adults. They are capable of weighing the arguments in an AFD discussion and making up their own minds. The nominator clearly has made up his mind: he doesn't like school articles. Instead of deleting/edit warring/disrupting various school related pages, a better approach would be to try to convince others that deleting school articles is the right solution. That requires effort and cogent arguments - not spurious deletion nominations. --[[User:JJay|JJay]] 20:19, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. What I'm afraid of (as an active member of [[WP:EiC]]), is that now that ManInBlack has demonstrated that any of our school stub articles can easily be speedily deleted (as what he did with [[Bridge Elementary School]] today) without having to resort to [[Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Delete]], is that by getting rid of [[Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep]] we've lost our voice and all our similar stubs will be speedily-deleted. This is not bad faith, I'm not blaming ManInBlack -- I'm just genuinely afraid that all the work we've put into the ''Education in Canada'' wikiproject over the past few months will instantly dissapear. This boils down to the same old argument about people's characters and views towards keep-and-improve versus deleting. --[[User:S charette|Stephane Charette]] 20:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
**Those microstubs were all in the form of "Foo Elementary School is a school in Foo, Bar.<nowiki>{{navbox}}</nowiki>". (I even left a microstub that had ''one more sentence'' than that.)

::*You are wrong. The infobox takes a fair bit of research to look up. I unfortunately do not know how to look up what an admin has deleted, but I'm fairly certain that the BC school stubs that have been worked on by a dozen people over the past few months have been more than just the navbar. You conveniently left out the fact that the infobox was there for the schools. BTW, leaving comments like this one:
