Undiscussed deletion and move

Dolfrog: this deletion and move was done without any discussion or consensus. Redlinks are a normal part of Wikipedia as placeholders for articles to be created. The further basis for deletion - that some institutions are "possibly bogus" - [1] is mistaken: "imbecile" and "idiot" were mainstream diagnostic terms a century ago, so it's not surprising to find names like "The Idiot School". A quick Google verifies, for instance, the Institution for Idiots at Barre, MA. I'm busy at this instant, but I'll have a look to verifying more, with more detail.
