[edit] Beth Shields Middle School
Non-notable middle school, one of over a hundred middle and elementary school stubs put up by the editor over 14 months ago, no substantive edits since. Fails WP:ATT, no real prospect of the article ever being sourced or improved. Some articles in the bunch have already failed AfDs. Article was prodded today, and the prod was immediately removed by an anon IP with no reason beyond "Please take to AfD." I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason with the same deleted prod:
More might be added, I have a feeling. RGTraynor 15:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete with the exception of the street address, the article isn't even about the school, it's about the teacher the school is named after. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete both per nom. Both schools should show reasons for notability. --Dennisthe2 18:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to Hillsborough County Public Schools. No third-party sources cited nor found in a quick search. While there's no consensus on school-notability policy, most proposals have agreed on redirecting unsourced school-stubs to the articles on their school district or community.

- Delete Particularly NN--article is about the person the school was named after.DGG 02:38, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep James Madison Middle School. I object to these schools being listed together. Nardman1 03:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

- Comment: And your reason for so doing is ... ? RGTraynor 03:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete All or Redirect All per nom. --Butseriouslyfolks 04:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - At this late in the AfD, I am of the opinion that anything further should get its own AfD, rather than adding them in. As such, we might also put James Madison into its own? --Dennisthe2 16:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

- I have a few minutes before clocking in. =) --Dennisthe2 18:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect and Delete all of the articles. These stubs have sat around getting stale long enough. In the future, can we get a bunch together either by school district or at least a bunch that the same creator spawned? I think that would be easier all around. Noroton 21:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- It would probably be more appropriate to do this by district, just to simplify the classifications - theoretically, in one shot, the articles get their redirects. --Dennisthe2 23:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- I prodded about fifty middle schools that this particular creator established; so far only three have been forced to AfD, and I'm hoping we can just avoid a lot of AfDs and see most of them get Speedied at the end of five days. I'm seeing a lot less consensus for the inherent non-notability of high schools, however, so I won't touch the rest of his stubs. That being said, there are a lot of middle schools in Wikipedia, locatable through categories, so anyone who wants to try a clean sweep is encouraged. RGTraynor 02:42, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- I guess we'll just let the prods go through. As for the other ones... hooboy, that's gonna be a mess to clean up. --Dennisthe2 03:27, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
