[edit] Surry elementary school

Surry elementary school (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable elementary school. Written, it seems, by a student at the school and therefore OR. Merge with relevant school district? Emeraude 15:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as non-notable school, doesn't seem to be a page on the district in question. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 15:36, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete This article is about a non-notable school, and is written like a student made it. Thanks, Codelyoko193 Talk Contributions 16:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, the problem isn't that it reads like it was written by a young child, as that could easily be cleaned up, but it is definitely original research without any assertion of notability. Useight 16:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per Useight. CRGreathouse (t | c) 18:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete as non-notable elementary school. Oh and the fact that it was most likely writen by a third grader helps too. TonyBallioni 19:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete nice to know the math teacher lost so much weight, though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • strong delete per nom. Chris 19:20, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - fails notability. Poorly written article, may have been written without serious intent. I.e. see the there is a well known teacher paragraph... Lradrama 19:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Schools are inherently notable, the problem was merely that it was written in an unencyclopedic manner. I've moved the article to the proper title and stripped it to the bare minimum for a stub. GlassCobra 22:13, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable school, schools are not inherently notable as WP:OUTCOMES clearly attests. Corvus cornix 22:53, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - no notability expressed, and while I'd agree that high schools might be on the upper side of notability (but do well to have some sort of reliable sources to back it up), elementary schools really aren't. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Surry, Maine. See also: WP:OUTCOMES. Burntsauce 18:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect or delete Only directory information now that the chatter has been quite rightly removed. DGG (talk) 18:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
  • delete - (listing any Notable Alumni (making the school notable) would be highly endorsed and turn me to Keep). Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 08:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails notability. Twenty Years 10:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
