A. Y. Jackson Secondary School (Kanata)

• Keep - it was decided in September that the Ottawa schools project could continue. Old debate. - SimonP 21:55, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment. The vote apparently was on Brookfield High School (Ottawa), not "the Ottawa schools project". A disproportionate number of inclusionists voting one day on VfD cannot establish a permanent immunity from deletion for high-school articles. -- WOT 22:18, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, no evidence of notability. I've certainly never heard of them. -Vina 23:41, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: No notability, and being in Ottawa isn't enough. Geogre 01:52, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Comment Personally, if someone were to put up a single article on schools in Ottawa—and given that what we seem to have for most of them is a couple of lines and a logo there would seem to be plenty of room—I wouldn't have a problem. In fact, collecting them together on a single page would, it seems to me, make it more likely that Ottawan contributors would discover the page and expand the sections on individual schools. Wouldn't it be pleasanter and faster to scroll through a single article than click and wait for separate articles to load? What is the advantage of a few dozen logo-decorated substubs versus a single article with short summary entries about individual schools? If the section on one school grew too big to fit, then it could be broken out into a separate article. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 02:08, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Exactly. Many schools and the history of education in an area is more likely to be notable than the schools seperately. Therefore, I would vote to merge and redirect if a "Schools of Ottawa" page was created. Otherwise delete this particular stub. Cool Hand Luke (Communicate!) 07:51, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Count in 2 more delete votes from Improv, WOT. See above. Mandel 09:17, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Jayjg 16:42, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• D Alternatively, you could move it to Template:School, since that's all it's good for. Chris 02:54, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. NeoJustin 23:24 Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep - factual, verifiable entry. Mark Richards 17:12, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep this. Schools are notable. Notability is not a deletion criteria. Intrigue 21:12, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
