The result was  Redirect to Chignecto-Central Regional School Board. Whether or not to merge the content there or possibly, at a later date merge/redirect to a new article at Education in Pictou County, Nova Scotia is an editorial matter. (non-admin close) RMHED (talk) 23:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

East Pictou Middle School

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

Non-notable middle school. My attempt at redirecting it to the school board was reverted, and attempts at communication and suggestions for sources were rebuffed. Corvus cornix talk  23:23, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment May I ask for the user's definition of "suggestions for sources", as all I've gotten from them is AfD outsomes and Wikipedia policies. Cavenba (talk • contribs) 23:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not true, not only have I linked Cavenba to the WP:RS page on their Talk page, but I've tagged the article for lack of sourcing, which also links to discussions about sourcing.  Corvus cornix  talk  23:33, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Please read the part of WP:OUTCOMES where it explicitly says that it can't be simply ignored just because it's a list of precedents rather than a binding policy. You need to provide a reason why this particular case should be viewed as an exception to it. And the reason there's an onus on you to find some sources is that you're the one who reverted the redirect. You don't own the article, true, but if you want to make an assertion that the school is sufficiently notable to have its own separate article, then you have to back that statement up with evidence.

 * Merge to Chignecto-Central Regional School Board, where it can be discussed in context and expanded until there is sufficient independent, reliable sourced content to justify a break-out article. Double Blue  (Talk) 23:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That's what I attempted to do from the beginning. And then my followup, I thought was friendly and constructive, but my communication with Cavenba has deteriorated to the point where I have been forced to ask him/her to stop posting on my Talk page unless they have something constructive to say.   Corvus cornix  talk  23:54, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I noticed that. Perhaps, a Request for Comment for broader input could have been tried. Double Blue  (Talk) 23:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chignecto-Central Regional School Board, no assertion of notability and no verifiable third party sources. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect as usual. CRGreathouse (t | c) 15:32, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect as a non-notable middle school. -Djsasso (talk) 17:30, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect perhaps we should create an Education in Pictou County, Nova Scotia article where more details about Pictou County's education can be discussed, instead of the broad, non-descriptive CCRSB article, which contains almost 90 schools in central Nova Scotia. Cavenba (talk • contribs) 19:53, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Absolutely, if there is enough sourced content, that would be a good article. Double Blue  (Talk) 20:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Or at least, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.  Corvus cornix  talk  18:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect to Chignecto-Central Regional School Board as usual. If Education in Pictou County, Nova Scotia is created first then merge there. TerriersFan (talk) 23:06, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable. GreenJoe 02:25, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chignecto-Central Regional School Board is probably the most sensible thing to do. JBsupreme (talk) 05:01, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chignecto-Central Regional School Board unless and until proper sources proving genuine independent notability can be provided. Bearcat (talk) 14:44, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
