[edit] Dickerson Middle School

Dickerson Middle School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

As with most articles on schools, it lacks notability. That it gives the location of an apparent, child-celebrity, strikes me as a little odd, but nonetheless. THobern 07:50, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Not notable. Alberon (talk) 09:06, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOTE and WP:RS. The performance at Disney's Magic Music days might warrant a mention in the school district's article, as that event is a big deal from the school's (and community's) perspective; there may be a source for it. Otherwise, there's no evidence to suggest that the school is itself notable. ZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 13:40, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep recognition by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, accompanied by reliable and verifiable sources, satisfies the Wikipedia:Notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 15:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep - Blue Ribbon is the highest award given to US schools and make the school highly notable. TerriersFan (talk) 16:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per ZZ, no assertion of actual notability itself. --ForbiddenWord (talk) 16:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - of course there is - a Blue Ribbon school. TerriersFan (talk) 16:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —TerriersFan (talk) 16:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. User:TerriersFan has done a nice expansion demonstrating clear notability. With time, any school stub can have interesting, notable additions. Deleting school articles has no benefit and causes stub re-creation instead of incremental expansion. DoubleBlue (Talk) 16:19, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I can only presume this article has improved dramatically. No one would surely delete it as it stands. Strongly agree with Blues underlying point. Victuallers (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Clearly meets WP:N. Noroton (talk) 01:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep It has many references, no need to delete!  — Noah¢s (Talk) 22:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
