[edit] Roseland Public School

Roseland Public School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is a not notable school. It has been put with a {{prod}} tag, which was then removed by the original editor. It claims to have 600 students (not exactly exceptional), with some events that is not unique. Doing a google search, I see nothing asserting importance.

  • Delete Doesn't appear to be a notable school. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails to satisfy General notability guideline. —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 01:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Did you read that part about 4 large hallways?  ;D Non-notable Elementary School. Malinaccier (talk) 02:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep No reason to snowball this one. Obviously, this is written by a student at the elementary school, either because (a) it's a class project that could, possibly, have additions that show school notability or (b) it's the kid's first foray into Wikipedia, and there's no need to shoot this down immediately. Merge isn't likely (Windsor, located across the bridge from Detroit, is fairly large). In all likelihood, Mertozoro, it'll be deleted after about five days, so don't take it personally when that happens. Everything is published on Wikipedia for awhile, but not everything gets to stay there permanently. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if your first contribution isn't a keeper.

  • Comment — I've done some digging, and found that Roseland Public School is probably notable. Not only can I expand and source many things about the school, but it was the subject of a high-profile intruder incident, as well as a lawsuit for libeling the schools images. That's among just a few things; I can source many other notable or interesting things about the school. --Haemo (talk) 03:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - checking the version that was nominated for this AfD and the current version tells me this article has potential to evolve further. Well done to Haemo for the effort. Sting au Buzz Me... 04:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Reply: A single link to the subject's own website is not "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 04:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
      • The numerous other sources I added should suffice. --Haemo (talk) 05:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep thanks to Haemo's excellent work, the article meets WP:ORG with multiple, independent, nontrivial, reliable sources. Noroton (talk) 05:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletion discussions. —Noroton (talk) 05:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep — meets notability guidelines following my, and User:Galaxy250's cleanup. --Haemo (talk) 06:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - It has a chance of being a good article. It looks like someone has already edited it to make it look better. 195.229.236.217 (talk) 06:42, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Significantly improved with many sources from reliable sources establishing notability. --Hdt83 Chat 08:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep At this point, as good an article about an elementary school as there is likely to be. DGG (talk) 11:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, I don't think that elementary schools are notable in general, but this is about as good an article for one as I've seen. Lankiveil (complaints | disco) 12:33, 19 January 2008 (UTC).
