Village Preschool of Saratoga
This is a non-notable school. It has not established notability in the article nor can notability be established for it. DELETE. BillyCreamCorn 19:19, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * *sigh* This article was created for the sole purpose of making a point. Please see Talk:Village Preschool of Saratoga for details, while it lasts... &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 00:54, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, looks like WP:POINT. --Tony Sidaway Talk 00:56, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It would have to be a ridiculous article to fit WP:POINT first off, secondly see the talk page, this is my own preschool from when I was a kid, why would I want it deleted. This is a baseless personal attack by RuMan. Gateman1997 01:19, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey, if you want to create articles just so your "coworker" next door can delete them, be my guest. &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 04:14, 9 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete Come on, now, people... Universities, sure. High schools, great.  Middle schools, ok.  Grade schools... well, maybe.  Preschools?  Not a chance.  This is not even a seperate "school" per se, but rather a prechool program at a church   Really, think about this one, folks.  Don't just see the word "school" and blindly vote to keep for no other reason than "school" was in the title. This is not actually a school. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  19:31, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete I'm willing to see whatGateman1997 may have that makes this school notable, but if its nothing more than what is up now, delete it.
 * Delete non-notable preschools (and that's just about all of them). --Scimitar parley 20:06, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Real place --malathion talk 22:46, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete more nurserycruft. Dunc|&#9786; 22:50, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please this nomination seems weird to me Yuckfoo 23:05, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a church preschool. I'm happy that it exists, but a Wikipedia article? -Aranel (" Sarah ") 23:07, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Proof that not all schools are notable. --Carnildo 23:30, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Stop the insanity. Gamaliel 23:32, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No vote. I haven't made up my mind about private preschools.  They're probably not particularly verifiable in the sense that public institutions and private schools for older children are, because of the apparent lack of regulation of preschool education. --Tony Sidaway Talk  23:41, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Andrew Lenahan. Sabine's Sunbird 00:30, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Bicycle, for the usual reasons. Keep up the great work, Gateman1997.   &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 00:33, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Come on now, a preschool? Unless something mindblowing happened here, no thanks. - Hahnchen 00:34, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I like to consider schools on a case-by-case basis. This would have to be a really important preschool to be included here. Sadly, it is not. Carbonite | Talk 00:58, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Extreme keep, by which I mean delete. --Deathphoenix 04:01, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This vote shows what editors think about the include all schools view.  We need some reasonable criteria to judge schools.  Vegaswikian 06:06, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree with you completely with respect to the "include all schools" view; there are clearly not many who subscribe to such an extreme view.  We do have some pretty good criteria to apply to schools: verifiability and neutrality, on those we can all agree. If someone comes up with an external school report on this preschool that uses reasonable standards applicable to early education, I'll change my vote to keep.  Your mileage may vary. --Tony Sidaway Talk  12:08, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Tony, surely you'd accept that the information is in principle verifiable, and as such meets those criteria? This seems to be a well-written, short article that, while it's not essential, wouldn't harm to keep. Philip Arthur 06:46, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * WP:POINT or not, it's good to set a precedent. Delete. Proto t c 09:47, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Unless this school can show some claim to fame other than just being a school, it doesnt belong here. In my opinion, this would require something like: a) being the site of some groundbreaking and widely accepted work in early child development; or b) being the site of some notorious tragedy. 12.22.157.254 13:25, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Maybe i'm a keepoholic, but i do see grounds for expansion... and even if not, some information is better than none at all. Beta m (talk)
 * Delete. Just a pre-school program at an apparently unremarkable church. Niteowlneils 22:09, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, in light of consensus I'm changing my vote to delete. Gateman1997 06:17, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't see how it harms Wikipedia to have a short, well-written article on this preschool or how it helps it to have it deleted. There's plenty of work to be done in fixing rubbish articles without wasting our time trying to get rid of the good ones. Philip Arthur 06:46, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, but this isn't a good one. It's vague. Delete because, as Niteowlneils says, it's "Just a pre-school program at an apparently unremarkable church". -- Hoary 07:30, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Preschools are not inherently notable. Sjakkalle (Check!)  13:53, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Some preschools might be notable, but not this one. Salsb 14:15, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Philip Arthur.   Un focused 15:06, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * delete indifferentiatable from other pre-schools --Tim Pope 16:45, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * delete as per Carbonite. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:53, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
