[edit] Bellerive Elementary School

Non-notable elementary school. Editor who removed prod cited WP:SCHOOLS—which includes a list of criteria to establish a school's importance, none of which are asserted in this article. Accordingly, delete as non-notable organization. —C.Fred (talk) 02:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep or merge, important part of education in its local community, no need to betray users who wish to find out about it. Kappa 03:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

"Wikipedia is neither a directory nor a phonebook." There's nothing in this article right now beyond a directory listing. —C.Fred (talk) 03:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure Kappa needs to be reminded of the arguments against schools. Gazpacho 03:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Here we go again with the school thing. Does anyone remember going to their 15th elementary school reunion? — NMChico24 04:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per NMChico24. No content, and nothing to assert the school's notability per WP:SCHOOLS (yes, I know it's proposed). Wikipedia is not a directory. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 04:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• These break my ♥, but delete per nom. — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 09:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Valuable topic. Prodding schools when they are known to be controversial is intolerable misconduct. Piccadilly 10:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no evidence of any notability. And I doubt if anyone is going to feel betrayed. Prodding schools may be fairly pointless but it's not misconduct. Dlyons493 Talk 11:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. If there are any school articles that should be deleted, it's articles like this. Articles like this, in the form of "Springfield Elementary is an elementary school in Springfield", serve no purpose and are almost totally uninformative. szyslak (t, c, e) 23:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete by WP:SCHOOLS , school has to be a post-secondary school. --Ageo020 00:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per above and per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. GBYork 12:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as article is only a directory entry plus links to external sites, and WP:NOT policy requires us not to be a directory nor a repository of weblinks. GRBerry 14:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• keep please schools are important it needs expanding not erasing Yuckfoo 17:51, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

So expand it then! Carmen above tried - doen't look like she had much success. I suspect that's because there's not much to say. Dlyons493 Talk 17:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

There is plenty of verifiable information available about this school, please feel free to assist me in my expansion of this article. Silensor 18:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment big improvement, well done! I still wouldn't keep it myself, but it's good to see someone actually expanding it rather than voting keep and doing nothing :-). Dlyons493 Talk

It's irresponsible to encourage people waste their time expanding articles when the topic is allegedly "non-notable". Kappa 15:29, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - verifiable and notable. --Myles Long 18:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep notability isnt policy... verifiability is.  ALKIVAR™ 06:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per the ongoing guideline discussion at WP:SCHOOL, notability of the school is verifiably conveyed. Yamaguchi先生 08:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets content policies. Notable per last 500 discussions of the question. Christopher Parham (talk) 02:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This school is not quite yet 50 years old, but it does meet the qualifications 1 and 3 of WP:SCHOOL with multiple non-trivial works covering the subject and significant awards and commendations. Give the horse a rest, its been beaten enough. RFerreira 21:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
