[edit] Briarwood Elementary School

Briarwood Elementary School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is a list of redlinks, and presumably none of them actually merit articles. Nominating for deletion per WP:NOT an employee directory, and even if this were expanded into an actual article about the elementary school, the subject of the article would not be notable.

• Delete — Non-notable elementary school, seems like an employee listing as Principal Schoolswatter stated. –- kungming·2 ^(Talk) 06:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Scienter 14:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There are hundreds of schools on wikipedia. Does someone famous HAVE to be from each of them to make them notable? I cleaned up the article's silly redlinks. If you look at Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch/Schools for deletion archive, you will notice that over the past two years a developing community consensus has emerged favoring keeping articles on bona fide schools for which there is verifiable information available. Also, WP:DP explicitly states that an article being a stub is not, in and of itself, reason for deletion. Finally, at Wikipedia:Schools there is a proposed policy in development--I would suggest we hold off on this (and any other school articles anyone may wish to nominate) until that policy is finalized and adopted, unless there is a policy specifically requiring the deletion of the given school--otherwise, we risk removing content that may turn out to be explicitly acceptable according to a broader community consensus.

  • If I'm not mistaken, there's never been a clear community consensus on keeping articles about schools of disputed notability; the articles are merely kept because "no consensus" in AFD discussions defaults to "keep". Extraordinary Machine 18:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Also note that in the last few months deletion decison and redirects have become increasingly more common. As to what schools should satisfy, there are currently two proposals in play WP:SCHOOLS and WP:SCHOOLS3. As far as I can tell this would satisfy neither of them. JoshuaZ 05:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect to Florham Park School District. Whatever little content exists should be merged to the district article. Article makes no claim of notability for school, and no evidence was found in Google / Google News to support an ex post facto claim for this school. Consensus is that such articles should be the subject of a merge/redirect which preserves article history and allows for recreation of an expanded article in the event that additional information crops up that would justify a standalone article.

• Delete. Not notable. Jacob1207 04:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per Alan. I'm not convinced that the minimal content justifies calling it a "merge" but there's no point in deleting the content when a redirect will serve just as well. However, I'm not sure there is anything worth merging. JoshuaZ 05:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or alternatively redirect. There's no "there" there. Shimeru 07:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no notability or remarkability at all demonstrated in article (which itself is significantly less than a stub). --Kuzaar^-T-C- 16:50, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nothing here that resembles an assertion of notability. —ptk✰fgs 22:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to the Florham Park School District page until it can stand on its own two feet. Silensor 07:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No assertion of notability whatsoever. No reliable, third-party sources. There is no use waiting until WP:SCHOOL is nailed down, if ever, because this article would not meet even the flimsiest criteria for notability (unless we settled on "existence"). Wikipedia is not a directory of primary schools, or anything else. -- Satori Son 02:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
