The result was Redirect. The problem is that there currently is no satisfactory target since the district article does not yet exist. In the meantime, redirected to Hayward, California. I encourage anyone interested to start the article on the district and modify the redirect as well as merge any useful content. Pascal.Tesson 00:49, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed prod. Non-notable middle school. -- R OGER  TALK 16:28, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - unreferenced & no assertion of notability. /Blaxthos 17:31, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * STRONG KEEP You have to give an article more than 8 hours to be improved and for the stub tag to "work" esp. when it is a school and those that know the most about the subject are on vacation. I see give it a few months and revisit later this year.Postcard Cathy 18:35, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * PS Roger was so interested in deleting this that it only took him 1/2 hour to prod it.  COME ON!  Be a little less trigger happy and give an article time to grow.  It isn't like this is an article about how many schools give out gold stars and how many schools give out silver stars to their students.  This has potential and you have to give it more than 1/2 hour and 8 hours before you prod/afd.  18:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comments (1) Prod gives five days to sort out the issues. That's not exactly holding a gun at someone's head and, despite the vacations, this was posted this morning. (2) Notability is about non-trivial/indepth coverage from independent third party sources not the word of a parent or teacher. Why should we wait months for material that is required by policy to be in the article from the start? (3) I have no axe to grind on this. I googled and nothing significant turned up. FYI, I also "rescued" a couple of articles from CSD this morning by adding sources and material to them. -- R OGER  TALK 18:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete per lack of sources talking about it and I dont believe middle schools are inherenty notable.  This AFD is here because of notability issues, not content issues.   If reliable sources are found to give it significant coverage, then it should stay Corpx 20:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * comment it still has 5 days. Postcard Cathy, it was not a good idea to remove the prod without adding sources; even if you thought it notable as it stood, you should have used the 5 days for the prod to look for further strengthening. DGG (talk) 23:03, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with the town/region or school district as notability here is not established really and it is a messy article too.--JForget 23:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
