Hi! Not to worry. The original article still exists. The redirect was implausible, so I deleted only that. You're OK otherwise. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:11, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Notability of elementary schools
In general, schools that are below the high school level are not presumed to be notable. The article must show that they meet wikipedia's notability requirements for organizations or its general notability requirements. Your recent contributions: and do not do this yet.
 * Bethel Manor Elementary School
 * Coventry Elementary School
 * Tabb Elementary School
 * Mount Vernon Elementary School

Most elementary schools do not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria and articles should not be written about them. There are exceptions, such as schools which are famous at a state or national level or recognized at a national level, such as Blue Ribbon Schools. All other schools should either not exist at all or be just a redirect to the article about their school district, school system, or city. In this case, it's York County School Division. Cities and school systems should have articles, if the ones for these schools do not, create them. Depending on how exclusive it is and how much "non-trivial" coverage it generates, Tabb may qualify for its own article by virtue of receiving the Governor's Award for Educational Excellence. However, if this is an award given out to more than a very small percentage of elementary schools each year, it's probably not going to help. If it's an award given out to only 2 or 3, it almost certainly qualifies. If the number is in between it's iffy. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  02:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've started a merger discussion at Talk:York County School Division to discuss merging these 4 articles plus Tabb Middle School into the school division article. Please read Articles for deletion/Grafton Middle School for a similar discussion from 2007.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:03, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
