[edit] Casa View Elementary School

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

No assertion of notability. Merge into List of schools of the Dallas Independent School District and Delete. Vegaswikian 06:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: After merging the appropriate info to List of schools of the Dallas Independent School District. Per the nom. Non notable school. - Rjd0060 06:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep - AFD is not the place to discuss a merger.--WaltCip 14:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Sure it is. We would merge the info and delete the article. - Rjd0060 17:20, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - Delete is not permissible following a merge for GFDL reasons since the edit history must be retained. A redirect, protected if necessary, is the only action. TerriersFan 18:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

So stick a merge notice on the page and discuss it on the talk page. Don't bring it to AFD.--WaltCip 18:20, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

School articles are always a problem. If there is going to be a reason to not keep or merge, then this is the better place, like it or not. These articles just nominated had some substance, so discussing here was in my mind the better choice to get a sound hearing. If there is any reason to keep the article, it would be heard loud and clear here. That would not be the case with a merge, especially if that discussion said to keep. If that happened it would wind up back here anyway. Vegaswikian 18:41, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

It would have to come to AfD either way, if the info. was merged, the original would need to be deleted, and speedy wouldn't apply. How about commenting on the content of the article here. That would help. - Rjd0060 19:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

What is the benefit of deleting after merging? To comply with GFDL, the author history would need to be merged as well. A redirect would be more useful for readers and reduce likelihood of re-creation without significant expansion. DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Edit history wouldn't matter, as it would not be a copy and paste to the other article. To be honest, I don't care if the information is merged or not. The fact is, the article does not assert any notability for its subject, and should be deleted. - Rjd0060 22:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —Camaron1 | Chris 19:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. A good stub. Verifiable, NPOV and well-referenced. DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and don't merge. Wikipedia is not a school directory, no assertion that this school is more notable than the hundreds of thousands of other elementary schools in this world. szyslak 20:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete nothing to even attempt to establish notability Arthur 21:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Non-notable elementary schools are deleted as per community consensus.--WaltCip 23:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable school. There's no need to merge. CRGreathouse (t | c) 02:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per established precedent to Dallas Independent School District. TerriersFan 17:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
