[edit] Hillsborough City School District

Hillsborough City School District (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Tagged as {{db-corp}} many times; no assertion of notability is made. I feel AfD is the best place to submit this article. —Animum (talk) 00:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Although I have a real problem with articles about non-notable schools, consensus has long been to fold those school articles into the articles about the school districts. This needs a major rewrite, but it shouldn't been deleted. Corvus cornix_talk 00:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• I agree. I don't think anything could solve the dispute over its inclusion better than AfD, which is why I listed it here. —Animum (talk) 01:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete The school is not notable. Also I would have tagged it as an advert to, as the creator it also named Crocker (after the school). UzEE!! 00:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • This is not a school. This is a school district. Corvus cornix_talk 00:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - School districts are kept even more often than high schools are. matt91486 (talk) 01:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. I think school districts are generally considered notable. The categories are full of 'em. As for it being an advert... it may have been a bit biased at first, but public schools don't really need to advertise. I think it's notable enough, COI aside.

• Keep I have not seen a case where it could be established that an entire district should be deleted. Given that the article in its present form doesn't look spammy, looks like a keep. Montco (talk) 07:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Strong keep - pointless nomination. It has been consistently agreed that school districts, as government bodies, are inherently notable and a convenient repository for nn elementary schools. TerriersFan (talk) 17:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment – As I've said above, I didn't expect at all for this to get deleted and am unsurprised at what I read; this nomination was purely to generate a consensus on which the removal of the {{db-a7}} tag could be based, since "It's good practice" sometimes doesn't work for some people. —Animum (talk) 19:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - you stated "I don't think anything could solve the dispute over its inclusion better than AfD". There is no dispute. Schools are exempt from A7 and from numerous AfDs districts are regarded as notable. In future just remove the speedy. TerriersFan (talk) 21:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Strong keep per above. This is a good stub that can be used to add information about Crocker Middle School, and about the imaginatively named West, South and North elementary schools. Guess what their next school will be called (Hint: E---) Mandsford (talk) 18:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
