[edit] Premature merge

I dispute the tag above. "redirected ... just after discussion started" is not a result of an RFD, because there was not time for the discussion to finish. I've undone the merge, and suggest that we have a discussion here to see if there's a consensus on redirecting (or not). David (talk) 22:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

• opposed — nearly every other Ottawa school that isn't a red link has its own article, and I think that the redirection just causes confusion, especially since there are links coming in from school board templates that appear in every school article. I recommend expanding this article instead. David (talk) 22:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: The tag is not precisely correct. If you look at the page history you will see that I declined a speedy deletion and redirected to the school board instead as it was an article with no real content to merge as per WP:SCHOOL proposal. Following that, the article was nominated for deletion as part of a bundle (though never actually tagged for AfD). Here is when I redirected, Here is the time it was nominated. The result of the AfD was no consensus and left things as status quo.

If you can expand the article, with reliable sources that would be great. Otherwise leaving it in the context of the school board may be best until there is enough verifiable content to break it out on its own. DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure that I see a problem with leaving a stub in place for people to fill in later — most of the articles in List of airports in Canada are still stubs, for example, but they're gradually being filled in. David (talk) 01:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • For the record, I agree with you but consensus seems to have swung against this view for the time being. DoubleBlue (Talk) 02:14, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
