Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bridge Elementary School
Article constitutes a directory entry.  (It has grown a little during the discussion, but not enough to make it useful content.  When nominated, the content was "Bridge Elementary School is a school in Richmond, British Columbia." plus the template for Richmond, British Columbia.

Additionally, one of the expectations that Wikipedia has of every wikipedia project is that the project help build an encyclopedia, which means helping decide where to draw the boundary line between topics to cover and topics to exclude.  Despite the assertion above that the article passes the iC test, I see no test at that project; the word test doesn't appear on the page and I see nothing else on the page or its current talk page that amounts to a test of material worthy of inclusion.  As to why Phoenix Hacker made so many of these nominations, a single user was mass creating these entries with nothing more than a single line of text.  Mass creation of useless articles leads to multiple deletion discussions.  As explained in the intro to Wikipedia:Notability, it is the opinion of "''some and by evidence at AFD, a large number of editors that this is what is meant by ''Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information'' (which is a formal policy). Many editors also believe that it is fair test of whether a subject has achieved sufficient external notice to ensure that it can be covered from a neutral point of view based on verifiable information from reliable sources, without straying into original research (all of which are formal policies
