The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. There is a lack of secondary sources to show notability per current guidelines, and the 'keep' !voters were not able to address the concern. The article can be recreated when more sources are found. Shimeru 19:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Non-notable middle school Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 22:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment This article was AfD by brianyoumans of Feb 12, along with a large number of other schools from the same district, grouped under the principal article, Rachel Carson Middle School, and was closed as "no consensus." The closure was taken to Deletion Review by the same ed. on Feb 18, and closure was endorsed on Feb. 23 as "closure endorsed with mild encouragement of individual relistings" by GRBerry. [1]

This renom. by another ed. appears to have been done separately, and not part of a project to examine them all individually. DGG 05:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Yes, I just noticed this. I had given up after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Frost Middle School (Fairfax County, Virginia) (second nomination) failed, assuming the rule was "Middle schools are generally not notable... unless they are in Northern Virginia, in which case they all are." But I'm willing to contribute here. Let's see... NO claim of notability at all, and it is a middle school - even in other areas of Virginia, middle school articles are generally considered non-notable (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kempsville Middle School, for instance). Out! Brianyoumans 18:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Until there is a settled WP policy on notability of schools, each one must satisfy WP:N, and this one doesn't. --Butseriouslyfolks 00:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - schools with 1000+ students, larger than many small towns, are notable because of the significant role that they play in the community. There is additional notability in that Janet Reno chose this particular school to launch a new initiative. TerriersFan 03:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - I think that the Reno visit is pivotal; anyone interested in Reno might well want to read up on the school that she visited. I also see no benefit in deleting; this article, unlike corporate spam or vanity pages this does no harm to the Project. Bridgeplayer 16:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
