[edit] Holland Landing Public School

I should know better than to list a school for deletion but what the heck. I prodded remarking that the article was not up to (even) the standard of WP:SCHOOL and the prod was removed with the remark that deletion was inapropriate given the existence of Wikiproject Schools. Since I don't think that the existence of a wikiproject has anything to do with notability or encyclopedicalness I am bringing it here. Holland Landing Public School is an elementry school with extracurricular activities. There is no claim to notability. It has two sentences of content (the thrid being esentially vacuous in my opinion) and should be deleted or merged. If every elementary school gets an article on wikipedia I'm changing my vote in Wikipedia:Two-millionth topic pool to Braun Station Elementray, San Antonio Eluchil404 21:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Article has been thoroughly rewritten. Eluchil404 01:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Who didn't see that vote coming? But the school is (as most elementary schools are) highly non-notable. As an aside, the article is also quite POV. -- Kicking222 22:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Dionyseus 22:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable. As well, even though the article didn't previously mention this, the school dates back to 1879, quite old for schools around there, so there's got to be lots of interesting stuff to say about the school. I made a start at the school's history. JYolkowski // talk 23:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. WP:SCHOOL is a rejected policy, so it doesn't apply. Stifle (talk) 09:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. That a school has been in continuous operation since 1879 is surely notable in its own right. I see pretty much NPOV and sufficient notability to say keep. It needs further work. Sure, an elementary school is not notable per se - a school is a school - but doesn't the age mean something? Fiddle Faddle 23:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete My vote stands despite the new additions to the article. The age is not notable, I easily found a school in the United States that is twice as old, it is called Collegiate and it was built in 1628. [1] Dionyseus 23:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete The issues from the nomination have been addressed and the article has infinitely improved so the AfD accomplished something at least, but I'd really rather have two indica of notability before keeping an elementary school. Eluchil404 01:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep reasons for nomination no longer apply. Osomec 20:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a great article. Bravo to the school project. --JJay 20:31, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Easy keep based on lengthy history. Also, as Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch/Schools for deletion archive shows, there's clear precedent to keep all verifiable real schools. --Rob 20:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep please the school is historical erasing this makes no sense at all Yuckfoo 01:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
