Contested prod. Non-notable elementary school in Texas. Article has essentially no content to speak of. Zachlipton (talk) 04:24, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, an article that states: that someone, somewhere, in Texas knows the awnser to the notabiliy of the article; should definetly be sent on its way off of Wikipedia and back to Texas.Sumsum2010·T·C·Review me! 04:57, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Come on. It says someone, somewhere in Waller County knows the answer. That's at least a whole order of magnitude more precise! :) Zachlipton (talk) 05:55, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Purely for the record, the school's own website says "Holleman Elementary was opened in 1974 and named after long-time educator I.T. Holleman. I.T. Holleman was 18 years of age when he began his career in education – a career that spanned 41 years. Holleman was named principal of the Waller School in 1939, and the superintendent of the district in September 1942 – a position that he kept until June 30, 1973.". - Dravecky (talk) 22:32, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This AfD is now substantially more informative than the article. Zachlipton (talk) 03:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, the article was so ugly it was starting to bug me, even knowing that it's going to get vaporized in the very near future. Unable to help myself, I've expanded it a bit, cleaned it up, categorized it, moved it to a more specific stub template, and added a reference. My "delete" !vote below stands. - Dravecky (talk) 09:08, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Waller, Texas#Education. Quick search says it isn't a blue ribbon elementary, so redirecting to the locality is the common outcome. tedder (talk) 14:49, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, no evidence of notability and no encyclopedic information. Redirect seems unnecessary as the title of the article isn't even spelled correctly. --Kinu t/c 18:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as school does not meet the notability threshold. I have just created a proper redirect at Holleman Elementary, the correct spelling, to Waller, Texas#Education as suggested above so this misspelling may be simply deleted. - Dravecky (talk) 22:29, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I searched, but found no indication of independent notability for "Holleman" Elementary. --Orlady (talk) 03:52, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
