Aldergrove Elementary School

None of these schools exert any notability. All fail WP:NOTE and WP:ATT --TREYWiki 03:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm only doing A-B right now.There are 1,000+ other articles in the category that fail notability guidlines.

Speedy keep all, tackle each one individually. Let's try to refrain from doing en masse deletion dumps like this, eh? It's just a big headache. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 03:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural close. This isn't the best way to handle this. Also, as noted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Henry Anderson Elementary School, I'm more than willing to go through and redirect all the no-content entries to their school district's page, allowing any that have clearer claims of notability to be examined separately, if there is consensus that such action would be adviseable.

- Comment They are all basically the same article. (school) is a public elementary school in British Columbia. It is more efficient to do it this way then nominate each one by itself.--TREYWiki 03:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment. How do you know that one of the schools listed doesn't have some claim to notability that maybe the original article writer didn't know about? It's highly possible that at least one of the schools in this list has a claim to fame that's not currently stated in the article...

Delete As nominator.--TREYWiki 03:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Close it's going to be impossible to give each of these articles due consideration under a single nom without giving up most of the weekend to the task. Considering you're wanting to use a bot to nominate the rest, I have my doubts that you have given these articles due consideration, either. DarkAudit 04:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment These were all written by the same people. Read a few of them. They are all the same, just with a different name.--TREYWiki 04:02, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment, edit conflicted twice. So what? This still isn't the best way to delete them -- seems very much like a bad faith nom on your part, especially since you suggested creating a bot to nuke all school stubs.

    - Comment Actually, It is in good faith as I am being told to "go to one of these schools to learn how to count past 3" by these pages creator. I am not trying to "nuke" all school stubs. This category is made up of non-notable elementary schools articles. Also, how should I have gone to delete them? I think this is the best way, myself; and I think you need to assume good faith, this is not malicious.--TREYWiki 04:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - How about seeing if you can improve the stubs? Just because a page is a stub doesn't mean it needs to be deleted, even if several other cookie-cutter stubs just like it exist. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 04:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Close with all due respect to the nominator, school articles are still a matter of contention on Wikipedia, and this large a bundle isn't the best way to handle it. I'm sure the factual details of all of these schools could be referenced, and questions as to their individual notability are implausible to determine with this large a number. I would advise trying to get a policy adopted or something, but I can't recommend self-injurious behavior like running into that brick wall. FrozenPurpleCube 04:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, Ok I'll Withdraw My Nomination.--TREYWiki 04:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
