The result was   redirect to School District 39 Vancouver. Obviously, the consensus was to go by the common outcome. The speedy keep !voters argue that this nomination was an attempt to end an editing dispute, but the user who supposedly disputed,, admitted that they didn't mean to spark a dispute and supports redirecting.

Carnarvon Elementary School

Redirect to school district article per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Another user reverted my move without explaining, so I am forced to open a deletion debate. TBrandley (what's up) 19:36, 24 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep per WP:SK, "nominations that are clearly an attempt to end an editing dispute through deletion. Also, WP:OUTCOMES is not policy. Warden (talk) 20:47, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Obviously not, Warden. The longstanding consensus, as noted below, is to redirect elementary school articles to their respective school district articles. I know that WP:OUTCOMES is not a policy, but it is an essay based on valid arguments under WP:N and WP:GNG. How is this elementary school notable under policy? Is there an exception here? I don't believe this clearly an attempt to end a dispute, editors don't just go around undoing valid contributions because they don't like it. Please provide a better argument here.

 * Redirect per longstanding consensus for all but the most exceptionally noteworthy of elementary schools. Sadly, this outcome will cause the loss of such timeless prose as this: "Sessions start at 9:00, however the warning bell rings at 8:55. Recces starts at 10:35, and is a fifteen-minute break. Lunch, which starts at 12:15 and continues to 1:00, however there are three bells in between. The first, at 12:30, and the second, at 12:55. There is no end of school bell, but classes are dismissed at 3:00." (The inevitable lack of actual encyclopedic content is one reason why articles on such elementary schools are presumed non-notable. Elementary schools are to educational institutions as mom-and-pop grocery stores are to commercial enterprises.) Carrite (talk) 22:06, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to School District 39 Vancouver, the school district. No substantial RS coverage found in search. • Gene93k (talk) 01:20, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Clearly, the standard procedure is to Redirect, but as TBrandley noted the previous attempt to do so was reverted, in this case by User:Flomen. Is there a way to re-set the redirect and prevent its reversion?  If not, then Deletion is reasonable.   PK  T (alk)  01:29, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry to whatever debate I've opened up. I'd be happy to let the page be a redirect again.  All I did was add sources. Flomen (talk) 16:11, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per WP:SK, "nominations that are clearly an attempt to end an editing dispute through deletion".© Colonel Warden The nominator doesn't seem to have understood that message the first time. If any editing action, of which redirection is one, is contested then the thing to do is to discuss it on the talk page, not to call for deletion of the article in question.

 * Like I said, sorry for any debate I opened up. I'd be happy to let the page be a redirect again.  All I did was add sources, but with very little knowledge on what I was doing other than the thing that said on the top of the page 'please add sources.'  Ignore me please, discuss what you will about the deletion of this page, but know that I do not really mind what happens.  Thanks, and sorry. :) Flomen (talk) 03:07, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
