The result was delete and redirect. There is no mergeable information, and the article has a problematic history, so combining the two strongest arguments seems like the best course of action. --Coredesat 02:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] McCracken Junior High School

McCracken Junior High School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is an article about a run-of-the-mill middle school, it's essentially a phone book entry, claiming no sort of notability. I have prodded, it was de-prodded by an anon. Delete Mak (talk) 15:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: No assertion of notability, no sourcing. RGTraynor 15:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete; non-notable --Mhking 15:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as wholly non-notable with a 0/10 WP:BEEFSTEW. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 16:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable --Nymetsfan 16:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Spartanburg County School District No. 7. Existing article provides no information beyond directory. Review of web site and Google search does not find any distinguishing characteristics at this point to demonstrate notability. Alansohn 17:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Not-notable. Acalamari 18:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- Noroton 18:43, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per Alansohn. --Butseriouslyfolks 20:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Choose Life Notability will be established as soon as students, faculty, parents begin editing. It is a new entry - let's give it time to grow... Dusibello 15:28, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: If - and I do emphasize if - students and parents can actually establish notability, they can always recreate the article. It is, however, far more likely that just like almost every other junior high school in existence, it isn't notable. RGTraynor 18:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect or Delete—no notability or sources. Past experience has made it clear that articles on non-notable schools are far more likely to become vandalism magnets than magically turn into useful articles, so Dusibello's special pleading fails to persuade. Xtifr _tälk 20:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per Alansohn. Slightly more informative than a "directory entry" even discounting the fluff in the middle section, but this would still be best served as a redir to the Spartanburg County School District No. 7 page. RFerreira 04:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per the above. --Myles Long 05:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per Alansohn. Xarr 16:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per Alansohn. Why on earth should someone have to recreate the work that's already gone into this? If redirected, with suitable material moved, it saves everyone time better spent elsewhere. Noroton 20:13, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment see what we mean? Recent edit. Mak (talk) 19:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
