[edit] Pizitz

Article is nearly empty, has nothing linking to it, and is for a non-notable US middle school StuffOfInterest 13:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• No vote. Real place (per website which notes some achievements) - if kept, should be moved to Pizitz Middle School. BD2412 T 13:49, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Achievements like "Classroom access to a Pentium computer on the school network"? Neat, it's some kind of archaeology school then?  :P

    More seriously, it seems to be more notable than the average schoolcruft (highest SAT scores in Alabama in 2003, apparently), so if some of that stuff can be verified from sources other than the school's own website, it would easily score a keep according to the growing consensus at WP:SCH. This is doubtless going to be kept in some form. But someone who cares about school articles will need to clean up the current article pretty radically and move it to the proper place. — Haeleth Talk 23:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: Relisted for lacking votes. Johnleemk | Talk 12:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC).
• Keep, Cleanup and Rename. Well, WP:SCH will have a fit if they find out we deleted a school, heh. -^demon 14:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Not necessarily. If the school is utterly without redeeming merit, and the article sucks, is there any reason for keeping it? Note that this is not a vote, but I have some real issues about schools that would not be kept if they were people. Denni ☯ 01:35, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Sorry to rant, but I expect anyone voting keep or delete to provide a decent *reason* for their vote. Quoting from WP:SCH's list of arguments isn't good enough. AfD is a debate, not a vote. That's why it was renamed. Quoting from both sides of the arguments subpage in WP:SCH does not constitute a debate. Johnleemk | Talk 10:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete, no references or verifiability. They can recreate it once these are covered. Stifle 23:55, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep or Merge into school district or town if article is both below three sentances and lacks any sort of illustration, boxed info-template or picture when AFD is closed. This school, like all others, is an important public institution and should be written about somewhere, even if it cannot sustain an article on it's own. Presently people do create school articles containing neutral, verifiable information and it is impossible to delete them, even though many have a desire to do so. Rather than striving for an impossible consensus to delete any given school article, I feel it is always preferable and takes much less energy to merge the text of the article into an article about a suitable habitation or administrative unit: a city, county or state, or a school district of local education authority of other school system, while taking care not to delete the information contained in the article. If the article is merged, the current location should be replaced by a redirect, and the edit history maintained for future use. This is the baseline consensus that I feel was reached at WP:SCH.
