Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Hope Elementary School

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Redirect to School District 35 Langley et al. I suggest that elementary school articles with no real content or assertion of notability can be speedy-redirected to the parent school district, and even ones that don't yet exist can be preemptively redirected to the school district article. —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-03-11 01:13Z

[edit] Alex Hope Elementary School

Alex Hope Elementary School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

non notable elementary school stub in British Columbia; prod removed without discussion by ip address. I will also include two other basically similar B. C. elementary school stubs with the same history. Brianyoumans 16:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC) Brianyoumans 16:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Also included here are A. I. Collinson Elementary School and Aberdeen Elementary School. I have not been able to find anything notable about any of these schools online, Note: one of them says on its website that it has received awards from the Canadian Health, Physical Education, and Dance Council (or something like that), but if you look up the organization and its awards, they give out hundreds of such awards each year in each province - it looks like most of the local schools get them every year. --Brianyoumans 16:29, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep There are lots of articles about elementary schools, many of them smaller than this one. There are 513 pages in the Category:Elementary schools in British Columbia. I think the precedent has been that school articles are notable enough to be kept. GhostPirate 16:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • I would advise looking at the record in this matter: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/100 Mile House Elementary School and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A S Matheson Elementary School, for instance. There are a lot of elementary school articles there, but that doesn't mean we need them. I'm kind of hoping I can just prod most of them, but someone removed the prod on these.

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- Noroton 17:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, although I'd change my mind if someone made it more than a stub. It's been a stub looking almost exactly as it does now since it was created about 10 months ago, presenting nothing more than directory information. Why disappoint readers? Noroton 17:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Arrrrgh! Why do any school articles need to be in this encyclopedia? Unless they are notable for one reason or another they shouldnt be here. In this case it lists who the headteacher is and where its based, im sorry but where is the notable content and reason for it being in an encyclopedia? I note that the creator of this article has also created other school articles, thankfully, which are up for deletion as well. --PrincessBrat 19:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Unsourced, directory info. No assertion or evidence of notability under WP:NOTE or WP:ORG. Shimeru 19:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• 'Delete I will use the dread word to describe this: Schoolcruft. - ElbridgeGerry t c block 00:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to School District 35 Langley per WP:LOCAL and various bastardized school policies. We do the same for American Idol contestents who don't make it to the top because people will inevitably come to Wikipedia looking for this information. Silensor 05:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't have any real problems with a redirect (to the various districts, I assume the 3 are in different ones). However these go away, fine with me. --Brianyoumans 07:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep or redirect The article needs expanding, some more references and some more text, not deleting. If thats not possible than a redirect as per above. LordHarris 00:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. too little context.--Vsion 04:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge. Fails WP:SCHOOL proposal. Could be a speedy as empty. If deleted or merged, the school district article needs to be updated to not like here. Vegaswikian 06:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
