Speedy delete A7, zero claim of notability. Nothing more than a single sentence containing the name and the town it is in. RadioFan (talk) 03:05, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:A7 does not apply to schools. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:43, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to city or school district, per the well-established general consensus here for the vast majority of K-8 educational institutions. Since it seems there are a fairly vast number of AfD challenges of elementary schools today, I'm going to copy-and-paste this where appropriate, with apologies. The rule of thumb to redirect elementary schools and keep secondary schools is a necessary thing, a good compromise between those wanting a narrow, focused encyclopedia and those wanting a vast, expansive one. Rather than going to war over the notability or lack thereof of dozens or scores or hundreds of schools each day, we have a streamlined and ultimately effective process that most everyone can live with. Apologies to the creators of affected pages, but it really does need to be this way, in my opinion... Carrite (talk) 07:06, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as usual. I remind RadioFan that school articles are not subject to A7, for the reason that, at worst, they can be redirected. WP:Deletion policy holds for all articles whatsoever, and deletion is the last resort, with merging or redirection preferred. We therefore don't actually need a specific policy for elementary schools, as they are located in a fixed place, redirection/merging is always possible. The single sentence present is quite sufficient to specify the redirect. DGG ( talk ) 17:46, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A7 doesn't apply to schools but it should and this is a good example. Schools aren't magic, they aren't inherently notable. Latitude is given to schools because generally sources can be found. Sources have been searched for by multiple editors here and apparently dont exist. Redirect is what the outcome here will be but it's a bit silly since statistics on this article indicate that it only came to light when it was AFD'd.--RadioFan (talk) 02:52, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to article about school district or locality according to established procedure for non -notable primary/elementary/middle schools. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:43, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE to closer. If this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the {{R from school}} template on the redirect page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:43, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
