Evidence of notability has ben requested. None of the contributors has produced any at AFD, instead we have non-policy based arguments such as "some in some out keep all" (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST and deleteion process refer; we judge this AFD by this article, not by reference to others... a web hit proposal that produced no evidence of specific notability related to this school being notable (amongst other schools)... and a post referencing an inactive talk page and that merging is inappropriate, again with no actual evidence of notability provided.
Articles need to meet Wikipedia's inclusion critieria: What Wikipedia is not and Notability, and no evidence is presented on this AFD of either of these. The school district article might work, but merging is itself a minority view (and the school can be added at will there - any editor can ask for a copy of the text to provide content for inclusion in that page). Against this, the majority of policy related responses concur with the nominator that the school is non-notable and the article should be deleted.

Non notable middle school, no assertion of notability Vegaswikian (talk) 08:11, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep Some schools are in, some are out. Whats the point of that. Keep them all. scope_creep (talk) 12:04, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —Camaron1 | Chris 12:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep based on disregard all proposals in this "batch". I typed in the name of "Quintanilla Middle School" (a school proposed by this nominator) into Google. Not a lot of hits and this one is included. Obviosly a unique experiment with own web page etc. Surely the page could have been found by this nominator. If we have time to delete them then we need to check their notability. Victuallers (talk) 14:58, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Almost every school in the U.S has it's own webpage, that doesn't claim notabilty This is a Secret account 21:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable school. This is A7-able, as it asserts no notability. Nothing in the article distinguishes this school from any other Texas middle school -- the activities are standard and most assuredly not notable, with hundreds of thousands of US middle schools having similar activities. (Of course even if there were notable activities we would need a secondary, not primary, source asserting that the activities are notable -- but this article isn't nearly far enough along to think about that kind of fine-grained problem.) Note that the above two 'votes' for keep are boilerplate comments; I imagine neither even read the article. CRGreathouse (t | c) 15:32, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into school district. Nothing to warrant a separate entry but we do have a district article that can cover the lot of them. - Mgm|(talk) 15:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom This is a Secret account 21:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep verifiable and NPOV schools. User:JodyB has stated in closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shapleigh Memorial School that merging to district articles is inappropriate. Thus, this nice start should thus be kept for proper incremental expansion. DoubleBlue (Talk) 16:48, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable and unremarkable. henrik•talk 23:17, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
