[edit] Dyer Elementary School

Non-notable School with only 44 students. --Corporal Punishment 01:37, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. There's nothing special about it. Brian G. Crawford 01:38, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable. —Larry V (talk) 02:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom Tony Bruguier 02:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete only 44 students? Some of my classes at high school have more M1ss1ontomars2k4 04:33, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Did anyone see the school district? This is 2/3 of the entire county school district's children (65 total). The entire population in the county (971) is less than my high school. Certainly not world-wide notable, but I'm willing to keep it. Ted 04:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Schools are generally not notable unless they are the location of some significant event. Cedars 05:11, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Schools are notable, that has been established. If you aren't interested, don't read the article. Markb 05:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 06:41, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but given the small size of the school and district, a merge/redirect to Esmeralda County School District would likely be appropriate. --Rob 07:59, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Markb Jcuk 08:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge useful content to Esmeralda County School District and delete the article. Non-notable as an article due to its tiny enrolment. --Terence Ong 08:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per Terence Ong. There is no assertion of notability, and there must be zillions of such tiny schools on the planet: we can't have an article on them all. --BrownHairedGirl 08:59, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Schools are notable. DarthVader 09:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Schools are notable, even if they're small.--Eva ^db 09:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge All universities are notable, maybe even all high schools, but elementary schools are clearly less so. However, this name should redirect to the district, and not just be deleted. JeffBurdges 11:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as above, though schools should have their own pages if there's enough to say about them. ProhibitOnions 12:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. This school has more students than some U.S. towns have people. Silensor 16:17, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Possibly notable because it is so small. What is the smallest public elementary school in Nevada? If no one can come up with a few more details like that that might make linking to it alone useful, it could be merged into the district article. Rigadoun 16:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • There are historically huge numbers of schools with less students. Schools don't get notable for being small. Average Earthman 19:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:SCHOOL Computerjoe's talk 16:58, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, keep per a rejected guideline? You might just as well say "Keep because all schools get kept".--Isotope23 19:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep inherently notable -- Samir (the scope) धर्म 18:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep either in this form or with information merged to district article. Then use it as a redirect. Tyrenius 18:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• keep please this school is verifiable and important Yuckfoo 19:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge, since it can't be usefully expanded. Anyone saying it can should prove it by expanding it. Average Earthman 19:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as all schools are notable. Carioca 20:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Schools are notable regardless of enrollment number. Beno1000 23:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per JeffBurdges. BryanG 02:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with the school district article. If there is ever enough content to justify an article on this school, it can easily be spun off the school district article. NoIdeaNick 06:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn.  Grue  09:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep schools are notable.  ALKIVAR™ 18:17, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
