Alexander Graham Bell Public School

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Ok it may be named for the inventor of the telephone, but the building (a local public school) is not notable at all and there are no sources provided to assert it. Delete JForget 01:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence of notability is presented in the article. --Icarus (Hi!) 01:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable school. Keb25 06:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete You gotta admire a school whose motto is "Believe you can't achieve!" Actually, history reveals that that was a clever bit of vandalism, and that's in an article that has a long history of vandalism.   Bonus points for naming your team "The Knights" and avoiding all the obvious nicknames that one would expect from a school named after Alexander Graham Bell AND located in a town called "Ajax" (which, by the way, is a VERY clean and fresh town, with no caked on grease).  As with many school articles, the students practice editing it as part of a class project that incorporates Wikipedia.  Suggestion to Principal Maertens.... userfy this to the school computer system so that it can be used forever more.  Mandsford 18:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above. Lack of listed notability. - Rjd0060 23:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete as it seems non-notable. But if any strong citation can be shown, I will change my vote to keep. -- Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  08:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect our readers to Durham District School Board instead, as per our Redirect guidelines.  Bur nt sau ce  17:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: Generally speaking schools are notabile in the fact that they influence the thousands of students who enroll in them over time. My concern with this article is that the name of the school is not entirely unique.  Consider, for example, this school.  So, perhaps a better article would be one on school's named after Alexander Graham Bell, or a disambiguation page of these schools, or even a small section on Mr. Bell's page noting some schools named after him.
