 | This page in a nutshell: Valid articles on secondary schools had been virtually always kept. People had pointed this out at WP:AFD (often using the shortcut WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES). And this being true, it was asked if this near-universal common practice should be codified as a rule. With a 50/50 vote and reasonable arguments on both sides, this was rejected, and fine. Then the closers, after admitting they didn't understand a lot of the arguments, decided on their own initiative disallow AFD commenters from stating the fact (that secondary school articles were always kept time after time after time again). This sucks. |
