[edit] Whiting Lane School

Non-notable elementary school. (Tagged by another editor. Nomination was incomplete, this page was not created.) Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 13:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable. "Elementary school exists" + "Has a principal and a mascot" does not = "Significant in the realm of schools". -- Kicking222 14:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, possibly merging with West Hartford, Connecticut, verifiable. JYolkowski // talk 14:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for now, unless secondary references are included which substantiate notability. Addhoc 15:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, or merge into an article about the school district AdamBiswanger1 16:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per AdamBiswanger1. Right now, it is not notable. Thε Halo ^Θ 16:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as the article contains no assertion of notability or importance, so to keep it would violate WP:NOT. GRBerry 05:17, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Just curious how you guys are defining notability. Are you using the proposal WP:SCHOOL? If so, this school does meet the criteria because there are multiple non-trivial works about the school. Not all are currently cited in the article, but there is [1] and [2] (originally published in an architectural journal) as well as some local media coverage. Furthermore, WP:NOT absolutely does not say that articles need to have any notability or importance to be included. JYolkowski // talk 20:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per JYolkowski. --Merovingian - Talk 20:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, established and verifiable, thus significant in the realm of schools. Kappa 21:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn school. Carlossuarez46 01:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, this content meets all relevant policies. The article provides important and significant information about this school. Christopher Parham (talk) 02:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete High schools may be notable by precident. Elementary schools, not so much. Resolute 03:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep All schools are notable and a good number of elementary schools have been kept. Piccadilly 13:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge a summary onto the West Hartford, Connecticut page, unless there's a matching school district page where it would be a better fit. I believe the proposed WP:SCHOOLS is encouraging merging these types of low-notability school pages, in preference to deletion. — RJH (talk) 14:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Christopher Parham and Piccadilly. I will refer this to Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools. --TheM62Manchester 14:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• keep please per kappa and jyolkowski this article meets school guideline Yuckfoo 22:05, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
