[edit] Washington Irving Middle School

Washington Irving Middle School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non notable Middle school, see Wikipedia:Notability (schools)#Primary education. Malinaccier (talk) 17:56, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. I'm about to list a bunch of other schools in the county. If you think it would be O.K. to list these together, let me know on my talk page because I am unsure whether to or not. Thanks! Malinaccier (talk) 17:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I would say yes, because they all have the same merge issue. However, you might want to just double check to make sure that there is no surprise sitting notability in one of them. LonelyBeacon (talk) 19:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I would strongly discourage this. Schools have each a different range of available sources and deserve individual consideration. If you multiple list then you risk a train smash. I would also suggest you should carry out a Google News check (including archives) before listing any school. TerriersFan (talk) 03:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - per nom. Merge does not appear to be an option. LonelyBeacon (talk) 19:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to a new article: List of middle schools in Fairfax County, Virginia which seems like a better way to handle coverage of middle schools in this district unless the articles can meet WP:N. I invite anyone with an interest to edit the new article. It seems to me that all or nearly all of these middle school articles could, with enough research, meet Wikipedia notability standards when some editor has the interest and ability to do the research. I would change to "Keep" if sourcing is provided for this article, as per WP:HEY Noroton (talk) 02:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and drop link in {{Fairfax County Public Schools}}. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of middle schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, obviously. TerriersFan (talk) 01:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
