WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and partially duplicated. We don't have lists of schools by metropolitan areas. Apparently the "list of schools by state" list for DC hasn't been created, and that would be a good addition. The schools in Maryland and Virginia are already covered on those respective state lists.

Keep:

  • Wait? I'm confused. You just told me that the information on the page "Outline of Washington Area Catholic High Schools" was a duplication of this "List of parochial and private schools in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area" page. So all I did was add a template and changed the name to be representative of what was already written. Now you're saying it must be deleted.

  • Plus do you know how small DC is and how the Metro Area Works. This place is so darn small that people who live in one jurisdiction go to another just for school. Especially when it comes private schools. And its not only the rich and upper class who do this, even low-to-middle income families do this. This may sounds like a paradox but that's just how the Washington Metro Area (DMV Area) works. The DMV area is different from other parts of the country and this page should authentically reflect that, which it had already done in the past until this "deletion" incident happened. Whoever started this article page in the beginning knew how things are in reality.
  • And this proposed list of schools by school districts (or cities or states) does not work for Private/Parochial Schools in the DC metro area, it only works for public schools. For example, the Archdiocese of Washington Catholic Schools covers both the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia. Another example is the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference that covers two different states and a federal district that includes the District of Columbia, the State of Maryland, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. They're not confined to one city, one county, or one state like other parts of the United States. Llakew18 (talk) 19:55, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It is not indiscriminate, since it has specific inclusion criteria. Enough of the things on the list have their own articles to be a valid list. Dream Focus 22:35, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw - was a bit confused when I nominated this. Actually, all that needs to happen is the BOLD page move be reversed, content added since removed and an RM started.John from Idegon (talk) 21:44, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
