The article is about a school that does not appear to have significant notability and it is also not sourced as well. Also, the article looks like some sort of advertisement and some blatant POV. Delete per these arguments--JForget 00:10, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete no verification of notability in independent sources. Wikipedia is not a directory of schools. VanTucky ^(talk) 00:19, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. How do we know that this school is non-notable? Has every effort been made to find reliable sources? Every school is notable to its students. The comments that sound like advertising are probably assertions of notability. They can be reworded, and the POV can be addressed through editing. Valerius 02:50, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Notability is not established through the opinions of students, it is established through reliable, published sources. We do not automatically assume a subject is notable without independent sources and work from there, despite what some think of schools. Of course feel free to search for independent verification of some possible notability, but we judge articles as they stand, not by guessing or assumptions.

• Delete per lack of notability and elementary schools are not inherently notable Corpx 05:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The article is horribly written, and even with cleanup it would not meet the notability guidelines. I would even consider a speedy delete per WP:CSD#A7. --Nenyedi ^TalkDeeds_@ 11:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, no establishment of notability. --ForbiddenWord 16:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete due to verifiability issues... normally I would suggest a merge and redirect for this type of article, but to be honest I'm not even sure it exists! Burntsauce 18:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Looks like it was authored by one of the elementary students. I'd say a second grader. Cap'n Walker 18:40, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The article says, "The school is a regular preK- 5th grade school." That's the problem; being "regular" is not an assertion of notability. If a better article can be written later, the article can be re-created at that time. --Metropolitan90 07:10, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• redirect to Cherry Creek School District. Well, at least I found what state it's in. My own. :( Chris 02:05, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Cherry Creek School District already done. Content was all OR, so this could have been done by any editor without trying to make a WP:POINT with an AfD. Dhaluza 10:26, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Cherry Creek School District as has already been done; redirect endorsed. 01:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, just another undistinguished elementary school out of hundreds of thousands in the world. --Cyde Weys 02:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect until somebody writes a nice article about the school that can stand on its own merits.--roy<sac> ^Talk! .oOo. 09:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. GreenJoe 21:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
