The result was Withdrawn (non-admin closure). Following no comment at all to delete, the nominator withdrew the nomination on the basis of the consensus formed, that achieving 2 blue ribbons is notable. Proposals to merge can be discussed at the article's talk page. WilliamH (talk) 19:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brumfield Elementary School

Brumfield Elementary School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

No assertion of notability; totally unreferenced. Given that elementary schools are as a rule of thumb non-notable, this means it probably isn't. If we keep this it should be moved to the page for the appropriate school district. TallNapoleon (talk) 03:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC) Nomination Withdrawn. Two blue ribbons is sufficiently notable. That said, this might be better merged into the article on its school district if the only major detail available about the school is the two blue ribbons.

  • Merge and redirect to North Gibson School Corporation; nn on its own but merge seems to be teh standard way to handle these now. JJL (talk) 12:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment with over 3000 schools on the Blue Ribbon list, I don't see that as making the school notable by itself. I'd still favor a merge, where this fact could be noted. Is there a more specific policy/precedent on this? JJL (talk) 14:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect as usual. Merging and redirecting schools don't require AfDs, in general. CRGreathouse (t | c) 15:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep — The existence of the subject is clearly verifiable, which is the only relevant criterion. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 15:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
No, WP:N must still be met. Both the proposal WP:SCHOOLS and consensus (neither of which is binding in any way) that elementary schools be merged and redirected to their districts. CRGreathouse (t | c) 16:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
No, it needn't. So-called "notability" is substantially undefined, meaningless, and totally irrelevant. Removing information is NEVER a good idea. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 16:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Comment: Saying must be met is a little too strong. WP:N is a helpful guideline for interpreting Wikipedia content policies. DoubleBlue (Talk) 17:34, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Kurt's opinions, to which he is entitled, are not shared by a large majority of Wikipedia users. Stifle (talk) 19:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong keep - the Blue Ribbon award is the highest award an US school can receive and this school has won it twice; a highly unusual occurrence. This will be sourced in the next day or so. TerriersFan (talk) 16:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Is it that unusual? If so then it would merit keeping as an individual article, and the article should cite a neutral source noting the unusualness of this. Otherwise merge this to the main page. TallNapoleon (talk) 00:34, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep upon addition of sources or, at worst, merge to North Gibson School Corporation. DoubleBlue (Talk) 17:34, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per TerriersFan. Monobi (talk) 20:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep since rewritten, the notability argument has been vacated. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 22:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Easy keep per TerriersFan. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 08:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: The Blue Ribbon is awarded to many schools, and might not confer great notability on its own; winning two, however, seems to be quite an achievement. If it was awarded randomly, only about 65 schools across the US would have two or more. CRGreathouse (t | c) 20:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
