Comment: You have been whacked in the head with a wet trout. Nominations should state why an article fails inclusion guidelines or other guidelines and policies. Calling something non-notable without explanation carries no weight whatsoever. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete A7 as an organization that fails to establish why it is notable. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:55, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll say Delete, and also amend that A7 does not apply to schools. ViperSnake151 Talk 23:43, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying it does. I'm applying it to an organization. Organizations aren't exempt. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Schools are certainly organisations in the normal usage of that term. However, in WP:A7 it states "... an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools)". TerriersFan (talk) 20:27, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great I'll add an exception for videogames and animals too. Just because it's there, doesn't mean it's the result of consensus. The discussion you cited elsewhere (Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_31#A7_and_Schools) was not widely advertised nor was it kept open for a reasonable amount of time nor did it get input from a representative cross section of editors. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:16, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ihe reason it was taken out of speedy is because they are not deleted under even WP:AFD, but merged. It doesn't make sense to delete speedy something which is not deleteable at all. That has been explicit consensus now for about 6 months, and practical consensus for at least 1.5 years. We have a few stable compromises and this is one of them. I know you've been trying to change it at AfD, but I don;t see any general inclination to do it. Videogames if entirely browser based are currently included under webcontent, though I am not sure they should be; animals are not entirely clear: consensus seems to be it does not apply to them either, but it is sometimes disputed. (And we do speedy delete schools under other criteria if necessary) DGG (talk) 15:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to Grand Erie District School Board as is normal practice. TerriersFan (talk) 20:18, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
