[edit] Krueger Middle School

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

Uh, this article is about a middle school; it's non-notable and has nothing to assert its notability. Also, the general consensus about middle school articles is that they should be deleted. Kironide (talk) 02:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, this is not the case. Some, though a minority, middle schools are notable and the consensus is that the ones that are not should be merged into the school district. TerriersFan (talk) 18:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Merge to North East Independent School District per WP:SCHOOLS, where consensus often favors merge and not taking them to AfD where schools are rarely/never deleted. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 02:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Merge - To the appropriate district or township per WP:SCHOOL for primary institutions, as well as [1], which indicates a general lack of notability (all trivial mentions). Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 03:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. GoogleNews suggests there are several sources for information on the school's programs, challenges, and accomplishments. DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment doesn't appear to be enough to meet WP:ORg for local organizations -- school serves local community and programs are, at best, locally notable TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 03:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
    • NPOV, V, and NOR DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
      • and...? you've confirmed it exists. Existence!notability per WP:ORG and WP:SCHOOL - no one is saying it contains original research or a non-neutral point of view. Elementary and middle schools generally aren't notable and this one is no exception TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 03:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
        • NPOV, V, and NOR are the content policies. WP:N is a guideline to meet those policies. GoogleNews suggests this school has been covered and noted by reliable sources. It is not famous and it is arguably not important…. What is it that makes this encyclopedic? It is that it is information which is verifiable and which can be easily presented in an NPOV fashion DoubleBlue (Talk) 04:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
          • None of which provide evidence that this middle school meets WP:SCHOOL which is the established consensus for middle and elementary schools. But we've said our piece, let's see where this goes TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 14:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep per DoubleBlue. Ordinarily I support the merge/redirection of middle schools but this one appears notable enough to keep on its own. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 16:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Specifically, what do you consider notable about this primary school that it warrants a keep instead of a merge? I'm honestly curious. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 17:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. To satisfy Wisdon89's curiosity, sources are available that verify that they won a physical fitness state championship, their rocketry programme has been extensively reported, there has been controversy over the school's magnet programme, they have a successful chess squad, a student was arrested for allegedly threatening to blow up the school, a student was stabbed on leaving school, etc. Taken together, the multiple sources meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 20:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge. No notability unless magnet programs are now a criteria for notability. Fails WP:N and WP:RS. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:50, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
