Constance Billard School for Girls

Unnotable fictional school with no extensive coverage in reliable third party sources. Fails WP:NOT, WP:PLOT, WP:N. Failed PROD with prod removed with reason of "will need afd, since it will probably be contested." -- [[::User:AnmaFinotera|AnmaFinotera]] ([[::User talk:AnmaFinotera|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/AnmaFinotera|contribs]]) 01:55, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Delete, per nom. Wikipedia is not a fansite. Nsk92 (talk) 02:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If it fails those three crucial policies... Leonard^(Bloom) 02:44, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is exactly one sentence in the article that is not directly from the books. Wikipedia should not be used for plot summaries.--CastAStone /^{/₵₳$↑₳}^{₴₮ʘ№€} 02:51, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I would say redirect for this, but the title is so long it's unlikely to be a search term. However, do redirect the redirect Constance Billard to Gossip Girl. Nate • (chatter) 02:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Google news only turns up 3 passing references to the school and google turns up no sources, I would say it fails notability guidelines. Atyndall93 | talk 03:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete mostly redundant with Gossip Girl; but, a redirect would not be unreasonable. JJL (talk) 03:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to Gossip Girl. A major setting in the books / TV series. No valid justification has been offered that would exclude a merge. Alansohn (talk) 16:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the major setting of a major fiction. Enough reason--is certainly likely to have sources in the various reviews. DGG (talk) 22:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge to Gossip Girl. Squidfryerchef (talk) 02:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a reasonable breakout article per WP:SIZE. Also, please note that the target demographic for this is likely different than that of Wikipedia. Thus I expect things like Star Trek and gaming stuff will get a more favorable response here than something targeted at 12-year old girls. Hobit (talk) 00:14, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Regardless of audience it doesn't merit an article nor does it fit with policy/guidelines. You said it Dad (talk) 04:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with nom that the article fails multiple policies. Editors above me who searched for sources came up as empty handed as I did. I don't see this ever moving beyond fancrap plot summary. I also think that it's an unlikely search term so a redirect is unnecessary.

Keep Appears to be of sufficient detail which, if merged, would overwhelm the Gossip Girl article and change its focus to a school article. Article does need some work but writing style and quality is not a measure to determine keep or delete per Wikipedia policy. Presumptive (talk) 06:13, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
