 * Keep all useful articles about verifiably real schools (but remove any non-verifiable ones). Also rename to Virginia A. Boone - Highland Oaks Elementary School since a forward slash denotes a sub page, which might cause a problem.  --rob 21:53, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I see no good reason for deleting it. --Andylkl (talk) 16:10, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I sympathize with sjakkalle's motivation, but more so with rob's. Like the other articles in this mass nomination, this is a perfectly encyclopedic article and no good reason to delete it  occurs to me. I'm neutral on the renaming idea--a forward slash is perfectly acceptable in an articlespace name, in my opinion. --Tony Sidaway Talk  16:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * All I can find on the topic is Naming conventions (technical restrictions), which mentions it "...can have some largely harmless side-effects, such as ...".  Is there are a clear rule on forward-slashes somewhere?  It seem to me there should be a clear rule for new articles.  If there's no problem with the forward-slash, than I would naturally support it's use.  But, I don't know what "largely harmless" means.  I originally thought they were't to be used, since they seem to imply temporary sub-pages; but now I'm not sure.   --rob 17:09, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * In some namespaces, such as Wikipedia: and User: the slash creates a subpage. This facility used to apply also to  article-space, but has now been disabled in that namespace.  A sub-page has an extra navigation to the parent page at the top. For instance this page is a subpage of Articles for deletion, so a the top of the page you'll see a navigation that look like this:
 * < Articles for deletion
 * This does not appear in similarly-named pages in article space. --Tony Sidaway Talk 22:12, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Schools/Arguments, and I'd like to learn how Virginia A. Boone got a school named after her.   Un  focused  21:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Careful, some editors have now asked for censure via RfC for users who have the audacity to use a summarized statement of reasons to keep schools like Schools/Arguments. You really should type it all out on every vote. Also maybe re-word a few things so as not to be accused of bloc-voting or cut/pasting.--Nicodemus75 22:18, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
