As the last nomination in 2005 states, the handrail exists, and it is well-known by those in the skateboarding community. However, to me, the state of the article two years later does not prove that its keeping it in Wikipedia is the best thing to do. It has a history of mostly IP edits and reverts, and the most telling element of this page is Whatlinkshere - which links to three actual articles, two of which seem to me like barely notable elements as well. I'm all for the scope and different perspectives of Wikipedia, but little articles like these are what makes inclusion guidelines hazy. ALTON .ıl  00:43, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. It's very POV, and a magnet for self promotion and vandalism. i said 06:27, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of notability for this handrail (it wont be easy giving significant coverage to a handrail) Corpx 06:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a handrail at a high school. I mean, come on: it's not even a Pokemon card.-- Mikeblas 06:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is written with an excess of jargon and is insufficiently sourced despite the length of time it has been here. As a remote second choice, slight merge to El Toro High School, where it is located. --Metropolitan90 07:43, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, It seems unlikely to be sourced. A two to three sentence mention in El Toro High School would not be inapropriate. Dsmdgold 03:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, and mention in El Toro High School per Metropolitan90 and Dsmdgold. bd2412 T 03:25, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as the nominator says it is "well-known by those in the skateboarding community". You are going to delete it because you can't bothered to look after it? That's in the best interests of wikipedia, huh? Kappa 08:30, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Smerge (shrink and merge) to some skateboarding article. Carcharoth 13:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, the nominator said it best. Paul 21:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually it's pretty disgusting that you people evaluate topics based on who edits the articles. Kappa 07:09, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * redirect' this to el toro high school is best here yuckfoo 07:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't see any notability here. A claim is made that this object is well known, but after 2 AfDs I still don't see any 3rd party sources covering it to verify this.  Without notability, or reliable sources, looks like an obvious deletion.  Author and maintainers have had time to provide these things if they existed.  ◄  Zahakiel  ►  17:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom, ironically I just reverted vandalism on the page.  Cheers,JetLover  01:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
