[edit] Newton Public Schools

Newton Public Schools (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Directory of Public Schools in Newton, MA, including phone numbers and secretaries; a reasonable listing is already in the Newton, Massachusetts page, and there is nothing encyclopedic about elementary schools per se. Rjyanco (talk) 02:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Poor job of being a page, because it just looks like a directory (see WP:DIRECTORY). I think with a few major adjustments, we can change this into a page similar to Pinellas County Schools. phøenixMøurning ( talk/contribs ) 02:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Actually, this is the recommended method of dealing with schools where they are not otherwise able to support an individual article. The article itself needs a rewrite, but as a topic, I don't see it all that problematic. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Removed phone numbers, addresses, "mission statements" and all that other stuff. Since its a school district and every other school district seems to have an article, I think the article should stay -- Coasttocoast (talk) 03:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. In general, school districts are notable. --Eastmain (talk) 03:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep - I think snow is in the air. Not only are school districts notable as government bodies and an integral part of states' management of schools, they are the accepted merge target for nn schools. TerriersFan (talk) 14:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep This is an article about a city's entire school system, and the article about the city is too long to merge it to. This is the kind of article we should be encouraging editors to create, so we don't have individual articles on each elementary school. Squidfryerchef (talk) 14:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment - the nominator did not alert the article's creator to this AfD but I have done that now. TerriersFan (talk) 17:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep as snow. This article in its current form is the accepted method to treat nn schools, per consensus at hundreds of AfD's. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 19:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
