Bridlewood Community Elementary School

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This school article fails WP:ORG. They are not at all notable, and the article should be delete. GreenJoe 17:55, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * First AfD from 2006.
 * Merge and redirect to Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, which is the norm nowadays for NN elementary schools. (I don't think it was in 2006.) That article has a template which redlinks all its elementary schools; they should probably be evaluated for notability or created as redirects. --Dhartung | Talk 19:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge . Firstly, it should not be deleted, as it contains well-written information, which would be lost, and we have space for it (WP:NOTPAPER). Merging and redirecting all the NN elementary schools to Ottawa-Carleton District School Board would swamp it with poorly-written stubs. If they are merged, it should be to List of English public schools in Ottawa. Redirects can then be created for the redlinks in the current OCDSB template, to this list (Which also makes the template a lot prettier). However, this will result in the combination of fairly well-written articles (e.g. Bridlewood Community Elementary School) with short, poorly written stubs, creating a rather unappealing page. Just my $0.02! --Patar knight - chat/contributions 20:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect to Ottawa-Carleton District School Board per WP:SCHOOL. • Gene93k (talk) 21:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:SCHOOL is not a policy or guideline. We don't have to follow it. GreenJoe 21:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It is still the regular practice for non-notable schools at AfD. This has been the regular outcome for several months now. • Gene93k (talk) 21:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per information from Patar knight (change of vote). A search shows additional non-trivial 3rd-party attention. • Gene93k (talk) 19:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Ottawa-Carleton District School Board where it can be discussed in context and await sufficient reliable sources to justify a break-out independent article. Double Blue  (Talk) 00:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems to fail WP:SCHOOL, but the article is well written, and WP:SCHOOL is only a proposed policy. I don't really see any need to delete this one; it ain't hurtin' anything. GO-PCHS-NJROTC  (Messages) 00:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge the sourced content to List of English public schools in Ottawa and then redirect. I can't stand up sufficient notability for a standalone page though the school was involved in the Bridlewood, Ottawa, Electric power transmission controversy. However, I can't find reliable sources on this, as yet. TerriersFan (talk) 22:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe this? ? --Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think that the power lines controversy tips the school over the line. I have added a couple of refs, to meet WP:N, and done some cleaning. TerriersFan (talk) 16:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, very well written article on topic with broad interest.Myheartinchile (talk) 23:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
