[edit] Rice Middle School

Rice Middle School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Typical high middle school with no assertion of notability. Appears to have mostly been a backdrop for a large number of speedied articles relating to a choir from that school. — Coren (talk) 00:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment. A search found no out-of-town interest except for one item: an 8th grader there tied for 11th place at the 2005 National Spelling Bee. Everything else is routine. • Gene93k (talk) 05:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect to Plano Independent School District#Specific schools per established precedent. TerriersFan (talk) 05:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • delete, middle schools are non-notable and should be actively discouraged. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 05:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, a garden-variety middle school. No wider notability. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC).
  • Merge per Brewcrew and Terriers. I don't think we should (or even could) actively discourage articles about middle schools or elementary schools, since they're created in good faith. However, if there's nothing to show notability in addition to having educated thousands of persons, such articles shouldn't stay on the board. Mandsford (talk) 16:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge per above. But school articles aren't necessarily created in good faith any more than articles about any other kind of organisation; I've seen ones clearly made by parents hoping to talk up their kid's school (or maybe just hoping to talk up the public school down the block in hopes of fooling prospective buyers to push up real estate prices in the neighbourhood or something). cab (talk) 00:16, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and actively discourage creation per Chris. CRGreathouse (t | c) 02:01, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect to Plano Independent School District#Specific schools per WP:SCHOOL. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 04:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
