rm non-notable middle school - merge and redirect to Fairfax County Public Schools Arthurrh (talk) 22:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• This article was previously nominated for deletion as part of this multiple AFD. Brianyoumans (talk) 19:00, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Non notable Middle School. See Wikipedia:Notability (schools)#Primary education. Malinaccier (talk) 23:22, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It looks like whomever wrote the article has tried to provide sources. I don't know much about it, but I'll bet it passes some ranking, as I read last week that Langley is the 37th best HS in the nation and TJ is the #1.--Patrick Ѻ 00:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. No notability asserted or expected. CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unless serious sources demonstrating notability are found. Isn't the new policy to merge/redirect to the district first, and only resort to AfD if reverted? AnteaterZot (talk) 05:19, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep -- There are projects to have articles written for every school in the country. This seems a decent stub start, and there's no reason to start over later. Jkatzen (talk) 15:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Unremarkable. If editors are trying to add articles on every school, they are misguided. Brianyoumans (talk) 18:42, 10 December 2007 (UT
• Keep Agreed its not notable, but as stated above, some projects are trying to get articles written on every school. Why create more work for ourselves? KeepOnTruckin ^{Complain to me | my work here} 01:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are about 92,000 elementary schools in the US alone. AnteaterZot (talk) 01:44, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - because as also stated above, if someone is trying to write articles on every school they are misguided. Notability guidelines apply as well to schools as anything else. Anyone setting up such a project would do well to read WP:PILLARS before starting such an effort. Or join the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools Arthurrh (talk) 01:47, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - we don't delete when a page isn't well sourced but when it can't be. Working through the results from this search shows plenty of excellent material that both demonstrates notability and will allow a major expansion. TerriersFan (talk) 04:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and drop link in {{Fairfax County Public Schools}}. A misguided project is not a reason to keep. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
