 * Strong keep - as agreed on AfD, numerous times, school districts are inherently notable both as government bodies and as a repository for information on nn schools. Needs expansion not deletion. TerriersFan (talk) 18:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The exact link here is a redirect to Alabama Department of Youth Services School District. That page is the one with the AfD tag. Are we to assume that you're meaning to delete the article, and not just the redirect? NOTE: The redirect can be speedy deleted per CSD R1 should the article be deleted JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - to be fair to the nominator I have just moved the page to the correct title, hence the redirect. I am sure that he intended to delete the underlying page. TerriersFan (talk) 19:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, just making sure things were sorted out :-) JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. School districts are considered notable. This is a school district and a Google News search shows sustained WP:RS coverage. • Gene93k (talk) 19:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Consensus is that all school districts are inherently notable. Isn't that documented on the AfD results page? and where did that shortcut go to, anyway? —Quasirandom (talk) 19:39, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, though I don't quite agree with the nominator: though the department seems to be notable, it's not quite as notable as Hell. CRGreathouse (t | c) 20:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per what seems to be consensus. School districts are notable. B figura  (talk) 00:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
