Adams Middle School, Redondo Beach, California
Middle schools are generally not notable, generally it is only high schools that are listed. I find no reason why this school has any reason to be listed based on its notability. It also fails the proposed guideline WP:SCHOOL TheRanger 18:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "Here at Adams, we have a good time while learning. " Eh that's nice... by the way this is an encyclopedia, not a brochure repository. I see no assertions of importance, Wikipedia is not a directory. --W.marsh 19:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Redondo Beach Unified School District per suggested WP:SCHOOLS guidelines. &mdash; RJH (talk) 21:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

This isn't a brochure, it gives information to people who may be moving to Redondo Beach and are in the area of going to Adaams not Parras. Or for 5th and 6th graders going to Adams. Please don't delete this our class tried so hard on this. TheArbiter

one thing,TheArbiter-our class did not try so hard on this-our class is trying so hard on this. we won't stop until it is either deleted or we can keep it!support me!Sharku828 I agree with TheArbiter-not everyone may know that adams middle school even exists-like my family. we just moved this year and did not know about adams middle school. someone may be looking at the rubsd site on wikipedia and will see the link to adams site- then they can learn more about adams.it not like we are putting the entire adams website on wikipedia-and it is still being made. its kinda hard though-people keep vandalizing it.we have been working so hard on it at school-this is the first time making a web page for almost all of the class. please don't delete it. Sharku828

Thankyou Sharku828 TheArbiter

always. we worked really hard on it too.Sharku828


 * Um, we're not a very good place to do that. Your website is where you should put that kind of thing. Guy 22:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I sugest not merging the article with Redondo Beach Unified School District because that article links to the pages about schools in that area, If someone had the time they could rewrite that article and put in all the schools mentioned into it. But I doubt anyone would because its fine right now... TheArbiter-- Try to make this more formal, look at some other middle school wiki's, this would help you understand how make this formal. If this doesnt have a major edit, i would say this should be deleted... Anyway, most school have their own website, if you want to make one about the middle school ask a teacher...

well, this is our first time, and so we wont be perfect. we have worked really hard on this and are still working on it. we've only been working on it for about a week, and most of that was spent figuring out how to edit the page.Sharku828
 * Keep as per Schools/Arguments --Vsion 01:22, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that our article is okay for the first time of our doing a wikipedia page...we are currently working on it, so it will get better. myself, i am making a part that has pictures of the classes and the campus.that was what "life at adams" was going to be-it was not done when it was deleted.Sharku828 01:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep needs work (especially on the tone) and expansion, but for an article created less than 24 hours ago it goes a long way to fulfilling the requirements for a middle school article. It's way to soon to consider deletion and teh contents do not justify it. Alansohn 12:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * KEEP per flood of editors from schoolwatch. Schoolwatch community consensus is that ALL schools are notable. --ForbiddenWord 14:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Let me just say that what is important is the consensus among all Wikipedians, not among schoolwatch this is a very alarming statement and not at all in the spirt of wikipedia goals. I visted the link to Schoolwatch and found no discussion as to what are notable or what is not. All I found were a list of AfD's current and a past AfD's with results totaled by month list with totals by month.  As to its point of view I found this statement right at top of page "the terms 'keep' and 'no consensus' are used interchangeably (as no consensus defaults to keep)."

 * Keep for reasons described at User:Silensor/Schools. The nominator is not entirely off base though, this article does require style editing, just not deletion -- please be mindful not to WP:BITE the newcomers, we all start somewhere.  Silensor 17:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable school. I've been through a lot and they're pretty much interchangeable. &mdash;ptk✰fgs 20:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you Silensor. don't bite us newbies! TheArbiter

please do not delete this, we work very hard on it-and we only work on it with teacher guidance about three hours during one week, at school. it will change before it is done, that much can be promised.Sharku828 00:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge with Redondo Beach Unified School District per RJH. School simply is not notable enough for its own article. Posters have not made a compelling argument against the merge.  Montco 00:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Something to say about the arguement above is the fact that to complete the Redondo Beach Unified School District page is the fact that all the schools would have to be merged to make the page complete, and that would make the page too long to be practical. thats one thing to think about. another is the fact that merging the page would take an extremely long time to merge it, and the page would seem awkward without the other schools, relating to the arguement as stated by myself above. to make the rbusd site seem complete, you would have to make a page for the schools that do not have a page, and merge the ones that do have a page, and as said, it would be too long to be feasible.Sharku828 17:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I say that they should stay a webpage. all schools are notable Kool-aidman 18:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep our page up!! though I don't think our pity arguments will effect the ranger........ "sigh" TheArbiter


 * Keep per silensor and just clean it the hell up.  ALKIVAR &trade;[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 18:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete or at least clean-up until this article is not written in the second person. Catchpole 07:58, 20 October 2006


 * Keep its not right to judge this site, ITS NOT EVEN FINISHED YET, OK. Why don't you judge after we officially go public.Punklife
 * It is public, and it's in main article namespace. If it's not finished, might I suggest working on it here and then moving it back when it's "finished"? &mdash;ptk✰fgs 18:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep at least as notable as some yuh gi oh or however the hell you spell it Jcuk 08:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:NOR.  No matter how hard this year's class has worked on it, Wikipedia is not a repository of projects done at school (the boring part of making the article meet standards like verifiability using third party reliable sources has been skipped in favour of original research).  Most of the article as it stands is unverifiable and unencyclopedic (eg On rainy days you have to stay inside the p.e. locker room and the teachers put on a movie.) Mr Stephen 08:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Silensor. bbx 20:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge do not Keep. Most of the article is non encylopedic schoolcruft.  Vegaswikian 23:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and rectify second person writing issues or merge per the WP:SCHOOLS proposal. Yamaguchi先生 03:14, 22 October 2006
 * Keep per Silensor, Alkivar, Yamaguchi. --Myles Long 07:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

This page should not be deleted because we are more notable then Culver City Middle School and they only have 1 paragraph
