Non-notable, also delete per WP:OUTCOMES. şœśэїŝәқιￆṱᾅἻқￂ 01:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete: NN school although OUTCOMES should have no bearing on AfD's, as they are just "statistics" (for lack of a better word) of previous AfD discussions. - Rjd0060 01:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, nowhere to redirect it to. SolidPlaid 01:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete OUTCOMES should never be used in discussions, because by definition, they are not authoritative. But delete anyway because it isn't notable. i said 02:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable. Ridernyc 02:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WikiPolicy#Notability --Victor falk 03:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom --Nexthoudini 03:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:OUTCOMES and WP:N. First, it's a middle school, which don't get kept. Second, it asserts no notability. J-ſtanTalkContribs 03:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for not asserting notability. Without an assertion of notability, it might even be speedyable. And I want to concur with i-said above: WP:OUTCOMES shouldn't be used as an argument in deletion discussions. It's just horribly circular logic. (After it, it essentially reduces to: we should delete this because we usually delete this. Instead of that logic, it'd probably be better to cite the root policy that supports deletion (in this case WP:N or WP:CSD#A7). Bfigura (talk) 04:55, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect per our bastardized school and locality guidelines, Yorktown Heights, New York would make a lovely home. Silensor 05:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect OUTCOMES is merely a useful summary of what usually happens here, convenient for reference. Tho we are not bound by precedent, we certainly should try for some degree of consistency. Just as it says there, middle schools are generally redirected unless there is something special. This does not show anything noteworthy, and is just a directory entry.

  • Delete as nn. OUTCOMES does say that middle schools are usually deleted, but that's no reason for this one to be -- this one should be deleted since it fails WP:NN and WP:V. CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:03, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
    • WP:OUTCOMES actually says that articles such as these should be merged. Which one are you reading? Silensor 04:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect per Silensor and per WP:REDIRECT as well. RFerreira 21:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
