Yorktown High School Theatre

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

A page about Yorktown High School (Virginia)'s theatre department. Has no references and doesn't seem to assert any notability outside the school itself and the local school district. Perhaps a few pieces could be merged, but little about the department is even mentioned on the school's page, nor is it linked. Fails Notability Jh12 (talk) 16:48, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect to Yorktown High School (Virginia). This should be a no-brainer option when a parent article exists that is the ideal repository for this information. The time and effort wasted at AfD would be far more productively used to propose a merge or just go ahead and do it. Alansohn (talk) 19:13, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I thought about proposing a merge, but there isn't a lot of content in the page that I would want in a high school article. If I saw the information on teachers, faculty, class listings, and recent local awards in a school article, I would immediately delete it or tag it for removal.--Jh12 (talk) 20:57, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In my experience, tagging an obvious-merge article for a merge rarely results in a merge consensus. You have the creator of the article who is against the merge versus the one merge proponent. Nobody else chimes in because the article doesn't get any visitors (nobody really cares enough about some highschool theatre company). Although I'm not suggesting playing around with Wikipedia policy, unfortunately, tagging an article for an afd is the best way to gain a merge consensus. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 21:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect to Yorktown High School (Virginia). Ditto on "no brainer" comment. -- Quartermaster (talk) 20:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete & Redirect - only a small percentage of this information belongs on the school's page. While I am sure there are millions of reliable sources from the local papers to support having this article, it simply does not belong. LonelyBeacon (talk) 01:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
