[edit] Tuckahoe Middle School

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

Delete nothing to show that this middle school is notable. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Although the school's website has the stuff for showing notability (school in 50th year of operation, first school in the state to have the "campus" format rather than a single building, etc.), this article has never been expanded, and has been an attractive site for vandals. I conclude that the school officials would prefer their internet presence not be on the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and who can blame them? Mandsford (talk) 21:05, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep for the first two reasons given by Mandsford. Not having been expanded isn't a valid deletion reason, nor is being a vandalism magnet. I've added the article to my watchlist, so vandalism won't be a problem any more.--Fabrictramp (talk) 23:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
• Commment Not having been expanded would be a valid deletion reason in this case. Bear in mind that middle schools and elementary schools are not considered inherently notable, and that if the text of the article does not demonstrate some type of notability, a delete will follow. As noted, there seems to be enough information here to make a good article. I'm not going to try to fix it up, because I figure that if nobody at Tuckahoe Middle wants to maintain an article about their school, why should we do so? I'm glad that someone is keeping a watch on this, however. It's likely this debate will be relisted, and if the article has become more substantial, then it probably could be kept.

  Reply We'll have to agree to disagree on this. I still don't think not having been expanded is a deletion reason. Lack of notability certainly is a deletion reason, but doesn't automatically correlate to lack of expansion.--Fabrictramp (talk) 00:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge into Henrico County Public Schools per ample precedent. User:Vegaswikian 21:29, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect to Henrico County Public Schools#Tuckahoe District until enough reliably sourced content justifies a break-out article. If we restrict articles in fear of vandals, this whole project is doomed. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect to Henrico County Public Schools#Tuckahoe District per accepted practice. TerriersFan (talk) 16:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Mandsford. School does not appear to establish notability. Wizardman 19:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• weak keep or merge. A quick search shows that the school has gotten attention for some of its policies such as wide use of computers. [1]. But none focused on the school itself. That article for example mentions the school as one of a variety of schools attempting such policies. It might be possible to write a stub on this but right now I'm having trouble.
