Bel Air Middle School

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Two line, unsourced stub about a non-notable middle school created nearly two years ago. There have been zero substantive edits, ever, and no sources added, ever. Survived two previous AfD nominations in May 2005 and October 2005, both times on the strength of the assertion that middle schools exist and all are notable. Unfortunately, this article fails, as it always has, WP:V, and with no improvement in two years shows no prospect of ever being improved. Withdrawing nomination; as Alansohn correctly cites, all issues raised have been addressed. It's a pity it took two years and three AfDs to accomplish it, but better late than never.

 * Merge with the article about the city. This kind of solution is becoming more common than the keep decisions of the past, if I'm reading trends correctly.  Regarding the previous discussions, I cite WP:CCC.  YechielMan 19:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm certainly comfy with a merge. And yes, it's nice to see that consensus is coming around to believe that school articles don't automatically get a unique exemption from WP:V.    Ravenswing  19:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep Recognition by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, combined with other unique programs and achievements documented using reliable and verifiable sources constitute a strong claim of notability. As I can see it, every one of the issues raised in the nomination has been addressed. It's amazing what can be done in 10-15 minutes to improve an article. Alansohn 16:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep not a merge. Blue Ribbon schools are within the top 5% of US schools and there is enough sourced, encyclopaedic material here for its own article. Nice work by Alansohn. TerriersFan 17:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
