Bishop Kearney Field
This isn't even about a school. It's about a non-notable athletic field at a non-notable school. Delete with extreme prejudice. Neutralitytalk 23:25, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable dirt. Gazpacho 02:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Vegaswikian 02:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Jayjg (talk) 02:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with and create school article. Lupin 02:49, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, pro-sports venue establishes notability, although it would be nice to have an article about the school which it serves, and the field entry a mere part of it.  Rlquall 02:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with and create school article. --BaronLarf 03:29, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looking at the article I notice that it's the home field of a highly successful pro Lacrosse team. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:34, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Gamaliel 03:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. --Calton | Talk 03:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable.  The Rochester Rattlers deserve an article; this field doesn't. Quale 04:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Megan1967 04:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Verifiable and NPOV.  First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge.  When there's a school article, we can merge this into that.  But thanks to all the VfD traffic, I have no time to do it myself. --Unfocused 04:54, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with the appropriate school or school district article. Kelly Martin 05:14, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the article and the fruitcakes voting to keep it! come on! Gmaxwell 05:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Please remain civil and refrain from insults.  --Unfocused 06:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Rochester, New York and delete - Skysmith 09:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all fields. Wait, do you know how dumb that just sounded? Because it is, it really is. Master Thief Garrett 11:03, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn. Radiant_* 14:35, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete trivial CDC   (talk)  18:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone writes an article about the school before end of VfD, in which case merge and redirect. JYolkowski // talk 20:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC) Looks like someone's created the school article and merged the content in, so redirect.  JYolkowski // talk 02:16, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 22:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * DELETE No, notability is not a deletion criterion, but the logic of keeping this article implies that we create entries for all fields named after bishops around the world. Keep a perspective of a Martian who just landed on planet earth, people! Project2501a 22:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is still not a deletion criterion. It's NPOV and verifiable. That's sufficient. James F. (talk) 23:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable field used for playing major league lacross. Klonimus 13:23, 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. Expand this stub. Project Schoolwatch. --Zantastik 22:33, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't usually enter into VfD debates but I'll make an exception for this. BrokenS'egue 00:14, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is the sports field of a major league lacross team, and should not become an innocent victim of the schools controversy. Kappa 22:21, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, this goes beyond our normal "to school or not to school" debate. This is the home field of a professional sports team. - Jersyko 01:17, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
