• Keep/merge per WP:SCHOOlS. Has an encylopedic history, no need to deprive readers of it. Kappa 03:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • What part of WP:SCHOOLS (which is only a PROPOSED guideline) warrants this being kept?

• Delete. This is essentially an expanded phone book entry. -newkai t-c 05:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Searching for reliable sources is a bit difficult using google because there are multiple such schools (including it seems two by this name in California). If kept, this should be moved and "Ponderosa Elementary School" turned into a disambig page. That said, the only press coverage I can find is the article already mentioned at the bottom of the page which simply mentions the school in the context of an incident that occured on a school bus (from a different school). Thus, we have trouble getting any significant verifiable information. This is even before we get to questions of notability. Not surprisingly, the school has no real claims of notability, with no notable alumns, no notable awards, no athletes or teams that have performed at a notable level or anything else that might pass for notability.

• Delete per reasoning in the deletes above. If no other WP:V sources found it noteworthy, why should we? Fram 10:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. MER-C 10:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, no schools are notable. :) Xtifr _tälk 11:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per, among others, the nom, Newkai, and Terence. -- Kicking222 21:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, meets content policies. Alternately, a merge to the community can be considered. JYolkowski // talk 23:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Another elementary school with an article? Again, it's bad enough that precedent has made it so virtually all high schools get articles, having articles for all elementary schools as well would be far worse. An elementary school is not inherently notable, and this school has nothing special about it as far as I can tell. --The Way 23:53, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Arbusto 23:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, if anything is worth noting here, then note it in the appropriate location article. Lankiveil 00:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]
• Delete No assertion of encyclopedic notability. No use of independent sources to tell us anything about this school. (Maybe someone should found Wikischools, with a GFDL compliant license so that all similar articles can be transwikied there.) GRBerry 18:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• keep please meets guidelines and policies and does have secondary sources too Yuckfoo 19:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: It doesn't meet the guidelines and policies, since the "seconday source" is a perfect example of a "passing mention", not a source about the school at all. Fram 20:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge and place a redirect to Spring Independent School District as suggested by WP:SCHOOLS and WP:LOCAL. 22:28, 14 November 2006
• Keep. The relevant information has already been merged to the school district article, but eventually we are going to reach a point where it is necessary to break that data out again into seperate articles, which would logically be sepereate school articles.
