[edit] Irving Elementary School
Delete. - Not notable. Uencyclopedic. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) [ 22:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC) ]
- This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy delete - no content. Thryduulf 16:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - I think it was decided the high schools are notable (which I disagree with), but elementary schools don't have this status yet, AFAIK Captain Jackson 16:20, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. Often, voters will comment that "high schools are inherently notable," or something of the like. However, there's no standard for either primary or secondary schools that has been accepted by consensus. Historically, nearly all schools are kept, unless unverifiable. — Rebelguys2 talk 19:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Non-notable. If kept, do not expand with transient and non-notable information just for the sake of expansion. — Rebelguys2 talk 19:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - I'll wade into this debate by saying that while High Schools are mostly notable (really, for some towns more can be said about the high school than the rest of the village combined), elementary and middle schools are rather cookie-cutter, and for the most part aren't notable. This one doesn't have anything establishing its notworthiness/significance/whatever, hence my vote -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 19:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as per WP:SCH Jcuk 20:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Weak delete I would normally say "keep" to school articles, but, the problem is, this one is just so... bare. --M@thwiz2020 21:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- In all fairness, it had a phone number before I removed it. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 21:38, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep, schools are notable. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 23:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with Maywood, Illinois. Short stub, and school has only local notability. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep; rewrite As a stub this article could work as it is a real school. Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 10:31, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with Maywood, Illinois as its a elementary school. If that fails than Delete --Jaranda wat's sup 00:36, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Does not meet the standards for keeping a school. Vegaswikian 07:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, encyclopedic. Christopher Parham (talk) 23:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with Maywood, Illinois or delete. Denni ☯ 01:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Merging (such as with Maywood, Illinois) only makes sense if there is some coherent treatment within the merged article (see Evanston, Illinois#Private and parochial schools). Sticking a loosely connected fact in an inappropriate way in another article is a disservice to both articles. The Maywood article is currently basically a rambot article and this would stick out like a sore thumb. -- DS1953 talk 16:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- As this article stands it is very little different to a rambot article. Thryduulf 16:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
