It should be noted that the VfD outcome statement above has been edited by User:GRider.  Here is the VfD discussion summary by User:Rossami:
:The result of the debate was ambiguous. I count 18 clear "delete" votes, 12 clear "keep" votes (2 anons and 1 probable troll discounted) and 2 "merge" votes. While there is a clear majority to delete, there is not the overwhelming concensus necessary for deletion. The decision defaults to keep in some form.
:Noting both the majority to delete, the current state of the article and the fact that "redirects" do not destroy history, I am going to be bold and merge and redirect this article. Rossami (talk) 05:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, thank you for reposting the outcome statement in its entirety.  So that there is no confusion, it should be duly noted that I did not remove anything from the original statement on this page (Talk:Bellevue West High School), but appended the following verbiage: "The outcome, according to User:Rossami was 18 clear delete votes, 12 clear keep votes (with 3 keep votes discounted) and 2 merge votes.  There was no clear consensus."      --GRider\talk 20:40, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: VfD outcome

message: GRider asked me to look at this article.
In terms of policy, there was no clear consensus to delete the article. The admin who deleted it did not act wrongly however, it was a judgment call, and there is no policy that says that once a non-frivilous article is deleted, an article of the same name can't be reposted with significant new material. Remember, there is a stated policy on Wikipedia not to delete if their is any doubt.
As to the article as it stands. it is pretty thin. I think GRider should have a reasonable opportunity to bring it up to a state where it tells us more than that the school is there and simple mundane details. Is the school significant in teaching any of its majors? Does it have special ed courses of significance? And so on. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 20:48, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: On the contrary, the admin who ignored the established procedural standards, which is to keep with such a vote, did act wrongly.  Admins don't have the authority to delete articles at will.  --Zero 12:20, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: On the other hand, GRider was a sockpuppet created to vote keep on articles, wasn't he?  That being the case, shouldn't the vote be re-counted? Jayjg (talk) 15:29, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: GRider, a sockpuppet? That's a very strong accusation you've made, and I don't see our friendly green pseudo-mascot emblazoned on his User page... Master Thief GarrettTalk 18:14, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I confused his case with another.  GRider used a number of sockpuppets to vote "Keep" on articles, but he was not one himself. Jayjg (talk) 18:21, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm protecting this (on m:The Wrong Version, obviously!) because this edit war is silly.   There's obviously more information on this article than can be crammed into the Bellevue article, so don't even try to justify it.  --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:06, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

message: This article is an excellent example of what can happen when an article is given the opportunity for organic growth.  Look  how it has expanded one edit prior to the first time it was nominated for deletion.  Bahn Mi 07:17, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
