Benjamin Logan Local School District
Thoroughly unremarkable school district with little context created by an IP that also vandalized pages --Nlu 15:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Please don't nominate schools or school districts as it is the most controversial thing you can do on this page and they are almost never deleted. CalJW 16:23, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * However, please note the context that this request was added; the article was created by a vandal. --Nlu 16:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * May I just say, I don't think this is a reason to nominate at all. First, do you know if the IP is a static IP assigned to a private computer?  If its not, this may not be the vandal who created the page.  Second, even if we could be sure that the person who created the page was a vandal, why would we want to delete their legitimate contribution?  I would think exactly the opposite should be true, we should be more inclined to keep a contribution from a former vandal because we would like to encourage them to change their ways.  We can verify it exists  and that the information is correct. Who cares who made it?--best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 21:45, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * keep please we never erase school districts or universities so why not just fix the article instead next time that would make more sense Yuckfoo 17:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment It beats having separate entries on every schoolhouse in the area. Pilatus 18:41, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep despite questionable author.Gator1 19:00, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good Lord! An entire School District nominated!! What's next, an AfD nomination for Education?--Nicodemus75 21:50, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The consensus is unanimous that all articles on post-secondary schools and school districts should be kept.  Silensor 22:08, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. School districts are the places used to build school articles.  Vegaswikian 05:42, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. School districts are more notable than the schools at least. Personally, I think the school stubs should be merged into the school district articles. Sjakkalle (Check!)  06:50, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment why not start an article that doesn't need fixing in the first place? Universities aren't nominated for deletion because they are full-fledged articles or perfect stubs. - Mgm|(talk) 08:29, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the district. There are just three schools, in this "district" (one per level) so I prefer to think of it is a single K-12 school, with 3 buildings.  It should probably have categories, just like it was a school, and stubs for the individual schools shouldn't be needed.  Re-directs for each of the 3 can be added, plus Benjamin Logan School.  I don't generally beleive in rolling schools into the district article, but this is one case, where that seems pretty reasonable.  --rob 15:57, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete useless trivia. Dunc|&#9786; 09:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I wrote this article, and I am not a vandal! I once added a section on fairies to the Everworld article, but forgot to save. I haven't had time to write much, being a freshman from this school. Now that I know it might be axed, I'll work harder. -anon posting by 19:50, 30 September 2005 User:156.63.101.133
 * What do you call what you did to Great Depression, if not vandalism? --Nlu 21:32, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, but I believe the vandalism to the Great Depression was by user:202.6.138.33 as described in the talk page by User:172. Also, none of these may be static IP's.
 * Unlikely. The vandalism happened around the same time that this page was created -- and note that this same user is back claiming not to be vandalizing.  If this is not a static IP, there wouldn't be anyone coming back to disclaim credit.  --Nlu 01:05, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete think how much space would be wasted if we listed every school and district in the world, next we should list the names of all school admin.,teachers,bus drivers, and even students. Dudtz 9/30/05 7:40 PM EST
 * Instead of removing content, it is preferred to have abundance and redundancy of content.1 Joaquin Murietta 20:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yawn. keep. --Centauri 02:28, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep  for all the reasons above,
 * I would also like to welcome User:156.63.101.133 and to Nlu  please, assume good faith and to the rest of us play nice. Joaquin Murietta 20:20, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * See my comment to him above. --Nlu 21:32, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * But he's a kid. Bring him back from the dark side of the force.;-) Joaquin Murietta 22:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)PS Schools/Arguments
 * This point is conceded, but not the point above. --Nlu 01:05, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep verifiable and NPOV information of a school district. Reasoning at Schools/Arguments.   Un  focused  03:44, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have not even been to the Great Depression site, and I'll have you know my IQ is 128. Also my name is John Hartley, and I don't have an IP because I've never had the time. User:156.63.101.133
 * I know exactly how you feel. Good Luck fixing up the article. I think it will come out fine. If you have a digital camera, you can upload photos of the school.  Joaquin Murietta 13:31, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * John Hartley, I made additional comments at Talk:Benjamin Logan Local School District Joaquin Murietta 13:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your contributions, and God knows, I want this school to be kept, but what on earth does your IQ have to do with anything?--Nicodemus75 00:04, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this school district. -- DS1953 14:42, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge whatever school in that district that has there own article into that page --JAranda &#124; yeah 03:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Arrrgghhh!! This computer refuses to save my comments! Sorry about the IQ, ego attack. ;-) User:156.63.101.133
 * If so many people want to keep it, why is this deletion article still here? User:156.63.101.133
 * After an appropriate amount of time has passed an administrator will come by and close the debate. She will remove the tag from the article and put a note on this page showing that the debate is closed.  I'm glad to see you're taking interest in wikipedia, have you thought about getting an account?  It lets you participate in more votes and also means you'll be taken seriously by more users.   (It also helps to avoid accusations too :)  --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 14:18, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I found it...
 * Keep finally a school article worth keeping. Provides sufficient context for a good article. Ryan Norton T 09:28, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
