[edit] Madison Country Day School

Primary schools are generally not notable, generally it is only high schools that are listed. I find no reason why this school has any reason to be listed based on its notability. It also fails the proposed guideline WP:SCHOOL. TheRanger 23:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Fails to assert notability.--Húsönd 03:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Does not meet WP:SCHOOL. Catchpole 06:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Verifiable and notable. Merchbow 15:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

• Please explain how its notable you have left same reply on several AfD's without details.TheRanger 19:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with the school district page per WP:SCHOOLS. — RJH (talk) 20:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge due to lack of content. Cynical 11:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all enduring public institutions. --Centauri 14:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. This is an unreasonable position, as it implies having a Wikipedia article for every DMV office. Here, this user incredibly claimed to favor that. Pan Dan 22:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge. Do not keep. Vegaswikian 21:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, not super notable but the school exists and is verifiable. All schools have some encyclopedic value. bbx 15:28, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Which standard shows that this school has encyclopedic value? I have been unable to find anything in news sorces to cite on this school at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheRanger (talk • contribs)

• Keep per Centauri and bbx. --Myles Long 17:01, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all schools are notable to their community, notability is a relative term and not a valid deletion criteria, verifiability is (and its also not something thats relative... it either is or it isnt).  ALKIVAR™ 17:03, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
  • (1) "Notable to their community" has nothing to do with encyclopdic notability. (2) Non-notability is a valid deletion criterion, otherwise we wouldn't have guidelines like WP:CORP or WP:BIO. Pan Dan 22:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• By analogy with aforementioned guidelines WP:CORP and WP:BIO, which require multiple non-trivial sources featuring the subject, and having actually looked for sources myself and coming up empty, I say delete. (This school even fails the excessively permissive proposed guideline WP:SCHOOL.) Pan Dan 17:38, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for reasons which are explained at User:Silensor/Schools (see also User:JoshuaZ/Schools if interested). Nominator appears to be repeatedly and conveniently ignoring the fact that WP:SCHOOLS suggests merging, not deletion, in borderline cases. Silensor 19:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
  • You misunderstand the nominator's rationale for deletion. It's based on non-notability, not on WP:SCHOOLS. He mentions that the school fails the criteria of WP:SCHOOLS only to bolster the argument for deletion, as those criteria are perceived as being overly inclusive. Pan Dan 21:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• keep please per silensor it is notable and verifiable too Yuckfoo 21:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
