[edit] Gander Academy

I sooooo didn't want to do this, but I'm fool enough to do it anyway. Originally listed as speedy per A1 (empty). The article at that time was simply an infobox. The speedy tag was removed and two sentences were added which, succinctly, tell the reader that this is an elementary school. With apologies and no intent to impute endorsement by Dpbsmith, I've applied the WP:BEEFSTEW test. The answer to every question is "no". Add to that the fact that elementary schools are not inherently notable, WP:SCHOOLS did not pass and is not binding one way or another, and precedent is not supposed to apply, I'd say that this article must go.

• Comment — I have no preference on elementary schools. But I imagine they could be readily merged with a school district page (Nova Central School District?). Perhaps somebody who would normally recommend "keep" will be willing to set up the school district page and do a merge? Thanks :-) — RJH (talk) 14:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I've added a couple of things but I'm not sure if these would make it notable enough to keep. If not I could try to get the district article set up myself. HeartOfGold 19:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I see these nominations ended up listed on different "dates", but for the purposes of full disclosure I have also nominated Smallwood Academy for deletion (see discussion here). Agent 86 20:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I think that HeartOfGold's additions now demonstrate that the school isnotable. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 18:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. The article has undergone quite a bit of editing since this was nominated, but the alleged "notability" of this school is really nothing special or unique. Still doesn't meet encyclopedic criteria, so I'm not withdrawing the nom despite the changes. Agent 86 19:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Clearly noteworthy.--Nicodemus75 02:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, no need to merge. Kappa 23:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep, already off to a good start. Silensor 02:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
