[edit] Murdock Middle School
Murdock Middle School is a very short article which doesn't contain enough information to show notability. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

- This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
DeleteMerge with school district via SCHOOL via noncompliance with proposed WP:SCHOOL policy. ie: high schools are automatically notable, lower schools require proof of notability. Pharmboy (talk) 15:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)- Delete for lack of notability and sources. I note, as well, that WP:SCHOOL is merely a proposal at this time, and shouldn't necessarily be relied upon - but it deals with notability and verifiability, both of which come into play here.

- I pointed out that it is only proposed, but WP:ONLYGUIDELINE would apply as it is currently the closest thing to an official policy we have, flawed or not, and is as valid as any essay or policy in a discussion. Pharmboy (talk) 01:12, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:V and WP:N (i'm not gonna cite a proposed guideline, especially one that I don't agree with). TJ Spyke 23:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete fails SCHOOL through failing of V and N -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 23:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Merge name of school to Port Charlotte, Florida. Population 46,451. Maybe someone can make a section about education there. Mandsford (talk) 00:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- and remember... on Wikipedia, pinball machines are notable, individual episodes of Ren and Stimpy are notable, tiny unincorporated locations in the road atlas are notable... but schools are NOT notable. Go figure. Mandsford (talk) 03:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Merge with Charlotte County Public Schools. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Keep School's recognition by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, the highest award a US school can receive is a rather strong claim of notability, backed up by appropriate sources. Most middle schools are NOT notable; this one is. Alansohn (talk) 06:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep per alansohn. Blue Ribbon schools specifically listed in proposed WP:SCL as keepable. JERRY talk contribs 02:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- weak Keep Award has been given to less than 4% of all schools. Seems notable. Hobit (talk) 15:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep the article now meets all notability standards; this article mentioned nothing about MMS being a blue ribbon school when it was nominated for deletion, I found that information on the internet and added it to the article. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 04:26, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
