[edit] L.L. Owen Elementary School

I prodded this elementary school, a prod2 was added, the prod was removed so I bring this for this discussion. If elementary schools are now notable, then it should stay, in the meanwhile I shall stick with the policy of delete. --Richhoncho 18:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment yeah, I know AfD is not the place for content issues, but whilst you are all fighting the school article fight, someone please source this article.--Isotope23 18:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep or merge per whatever compromise proposal is around. Thank you for bringing this issue here for "discussion", I'm sure debating the same topic for the 1,000th time will be an excellent use of our time. Kappa 18:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. For the record it was Kappa who deprodded.--Richhoncho 18:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, ha...we need something to keep you guys busy. Anyway, thanks to Kappa for adding verification.--Isotope23 19:04, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • For the record, I hate spending time in this place. Kappa 04:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Although rules for notability do not exist, current consensus for inclusion of schools is described in WP:SCHOOLS. This school simply does not meet any of the described characteristics of a school that should be included as a separate article. The mention of the school in the Watson Chapel School District is sufficient at present, unless other means of notability for this school are discovered and sourced. will381796 20:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, since all that is here is a one-line directory entry for the school. Even with expansion, it would still need to clear the WP:SCHOOLS criteria, and I don't suspect that it does. —C.Fred (talk) 21:16, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Watson Chapel School District. Schools are notable, but there's clearly no need for an individual page at this point. If the section grows there, it can come back out again. Jacqui★ 21:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per Jacqui. No reason at all for this school to have its own article, but there's no harm whatsoever in making it into a redirect. -- Kicking222 22:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per Jacqui. --Gray Porpoise 23:58, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and allow for organic growth. It is not necessary to discuss merges at Articles for deletion. Bahn Mi 00:33, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment There are more than two possible outcomes when an article is nominated for deletion. As for the statement that schools are all notable. This is not correct. Current proposed guidelines WP:Schools clearly show that there should be a limit as to what schools can be important enough to have their own article. will381796 00:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
