Article was PRODed, but I think it's too long-standing an article for that and needs some proper discussion. This is procedural, and I'm not recommending Delete - I'd probably come down on the side of keeping it and looking for 3rd-party references myself. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move to List of Xavier Institute student and staff and strip of cruft. I didn't realise when PRODing, due to the category this was in, that it wasn't an article about a fictional educational institution. Claritas § 17:33, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup We all know there are plenty of RS for the X-Men, many of which will mention Xavier's school. As such, there is probably room for such a list of attendees like this, but it's not clear to me whether or not such a list belongs at this title, or in this form. Currently, it's cited to primary sources, which isn't particularly helpful. Jclemens (talk) 23:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep If you want to discuss the article's development, please use its talk page. AFD is not provided for this purpose - please see WP:BEFORE. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:39, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Boing! said Zebedee, that is not a valid reason to send something to an AFD. Please withdraw your nomination so we can close this thing quickly. Dream Focus 04:03, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough - I should have started a Talk page discussion rather than bring it here -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw: Considering the clear consensus so far, and the requests above, I'm happy to withdraw Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Question: Would this AfD have been avoided if this was named "List of Xavier Institute students"? - BalthCat (talk) 10:16, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No - I raised the AfD (in error, it seems) purely because it had been PRODed and I thought it needed further discussion (Whether the PROD would have been avoided is another question) Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:40, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
