Bel Air Middle School
non-noteable school, little information, not encyclopedia material. Coolgamer 23:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Bel Air Middle School
Not in Bel Air, Los Angeles, California&mdash;which possibly would make it notable&mdash;but in Bel Air, Maryland. Non-notable two-line middle school substub&mdash;delete. Neutralitytalk 22:59, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable enough. Kappa 23:41, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable. The entire current article is "Bel Air Middle School, built in 1960, is a secondary school situated right next to Bel Air High School. It is a rather large middle school, especially for a one-level school. Its population rests at about 1,300 students and staff. The current principal is Nancy Reynolds." &mdash; this makes it notable enough? Also, "current prinicipal" without providing dates is an unsatisfactory statement in an encyclopedia in any case. Quale
 * No vote, but I'd like to question the statement that being in Bel Air, Los Angeles, California makes something any more notable than being in Bel Air, Maryland. Why is that? --FCYTravis 01:53, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Bel Air High School, which is apparently adjacent and has a fully-developed article, in which this middle school could be appropriately and briefly mentioned (with slightly more detail).  Rlquall 02:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Rlquall's suggestion Lupin 02:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. They seem to be two completely separate schools, for all the proximity. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:28, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world.

 * Merge into Harford County Public Schools, the local school district. --BaronLarf 03:48, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. --Calton | Talk 04:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV.  --Unfocused 04:51, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the usual reasons. Kelly Martin 05:09, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a trivia base. Gmaxwell 05:28, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into whichever Bel Air, Maryland is appropriate and delete - Skysmith 09:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 15:02, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 22:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Maryland All schools are notable by nature. Verifiable and NPOV. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, ergo it is encyclopaedic. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 13:26, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. (1)We don't even have a policy about schools yet, (2)schools are important and should be included, (3)this massive deletion campaign is terrible. Introduce a limit of 3 vfd nominations per day. --Zantastik 22:30, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
