The result was Redirect to the proper school district per WP:SCHOOL. The name of said school district was missing from the article and is now available. Therefore, Nomination withdrawn. --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 23:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Twillingate Island Elementary

Twillingate Island Elementary (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable elementary school that is slated for closure. Per WP:SCHOOL, Redirect, except that I have nothing to redirect the article to. So Delete. Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 22:44, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep How can one school be more "notable" than another? This school has a long history in the town of Twillingate and deserves an article just as much as any other school would. It hasn't been closed down yet and might not be for a while and even if it will be in the future, it still was there for years and is an important piece of history for residents of the area. From WP:SCHOOL, "A school article that fails to establish notability will not be deleted, if the school can be confirmed to exist.[3] It would be simply redirected to the appropriate article for the relevant school district, and could be later expanded back out into it's own article again when sources should become available.[1]". That means you shouldn't have nominated it for deletion. The school runs under the Nova Central School District. Minimal research online would give you that answer. Also, a Google search reveals "Results 1 - 10 of about 292 for "Twillingate Island Elementary".~NeonFire372~ (talk) 22:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
    • WP:SCHOOL also states, Other primary/elementary/middle schools will be deemed non-notable unless notability can be clearly demonstrated by sufficient reliable secondary sources that meet WP:N. Such schools should normally be merged into the school district or locality as an editorial action without need for an AfD. You have stated the school district, so redirect it is. I am closing this AfD right away. --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 23:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
