[edit] Pennington Grimes

NN elementary school. Assertion of nobility present (best academic performance}, but anybody can say that. No external links, statistics. Kareeser|^Talk! 06:45, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. TheRingess 06:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. Agreed that the "renouned" statement needs verification if it is to be a valid (and NPOV) claim to notability (and hopefully the school's educational norms include how to spell the word renowned). –Sommers ^(Talk) 09:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup per vague consensus achieved months ago at Wikipedia:Schools. Proto||type 11:38, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wiki/schools is not policy. School is not notable with being granted inherent notability. Bobby1011 14:06, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Schools are more notable than subway stations, and subway stations are per se notable. Monicasdude 14:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Elementary school with no claim to notability.--Isotope23 15:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Wikipedia:Notability (music) is not "Policy", however you try telling that to anyone voting delete on a musical article. Schools guideline states the only criterion for notability of schools is verifiability. Jcuk 22:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Article does nothing to provide readers with any pertinent information. A waste of bandwidth. Denni ☯ 03:33, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep, verifiable schools are perfectly notable. Silensor 23:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Delete, this particular school isn't particularly notable. It claims (rather, claimed) to have an excellent academic record, but that hasn't been verified, nor will it, if the article stays. Kareeser|^Talk! 01:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep schools. Stifle 00:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment — An editor has rewritten the article. It now contains a listing of the ethnic makeup of the school, broken down into percentages. I find that a little segregatory (if that is a word), and besides that, it also contains no notable information either. Kareeser|^Talk! 01:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
