[edit] Hampton township school district
Orphaned well over a year, and consists mostly of nonsense; virtually no substantive work ever done on this article throughout its life Tenebrae (talk) 20:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup. A page move to its correct name can fix the orphan status. One paragraph of POV can be quickly removed. The rest of the "nonsense" is statistical information. School districts are where primary and middle school pages are merged/redirected. • Gene93k (talk) 21:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, per the current rules regarding school districts. Alternatively, merge to Hampton Township, Pennsylvania. A few additions can be made to show that the district has Central, Poff and Wyland Elementary schools, Hampton Middle and Hampton High. If you don't like the "What the heck is a talbot?" comment, then you edit it out. A lot easier than doing the tagging and nominating bit. Mandsford (talk) 22:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. All school districts are notable, and local newspapers probably have some coverage of the district's activities. --Eastmain (talk) 23:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup. Keeping this is consistent with guidelines and categorization of other school districts. Doczilla (talk) 00:04, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep -- Well, heck, if I weren't convinced before, then Doc brought me over! Anybody know the procedure for my withdrawing this, if that's an option? I'll even volunteer to start the cleanup. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

- Keep: Although I'm not a fan of 'automatic notability', I'll admit to !voting without even looking at the article. Vibrant, well-written district articles are the best way to organize information on schools (regardless of which schools also have their own articles), and deleting the article gives the content nowhere to go. The article may be stubby, but that just means it needs more work. I may try to trim out some nonsense, though. CRGreathouse (t | c) 19:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Strong keep - as government bodies school districts are notable and play a key part in organising information on schools. I have started cleanup. TerriersFan (talk) 19:32, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
