Assawompsett Elementary School

 * — (View AfD)

Appears completely non-notable, even from a local perspective, and consists of near-total vandalism. Haemo 12:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - unremarkable primary school. MER-C 13:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - completely non notable school. Jayden54 13:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete before the keep-all-schools bunnies arrive. Squiddy | (squirt ink?)  13:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Apart from the uselessness of the article ("Nobody knows who still teaches there but there is some speculation." "It was built some time ago") this is a non-notable local elementary school that fails to meet any of the guidelines in Schools.  And the fact that "composer, musician Dan Gross attended" and the page was created by Dpgross rather kills it for me.  Emeraude 14:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete NN school. TJ Spyke 22:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm the nominator, but I thought I might as well spell this out. If you delete material that is either NPOV, non-verifiable, or non-notable, you're left with "Assawompsett Elementary School is an elementary school in the town of Lakeville, Massachusetts."  There are no references cited, and no external links.  The article goes beyond being a stub - to the point of being more like a telephone directory entry.  --Haemo 22:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete -- doubt anything notable will ever come of this. Twinxor t 22:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Freetown & Lakeville Public Schools. There's less and less in common between WP:SCHOOL and WP:SCHOOLS3, but one thing they both agree on is that schools such as this that do not meet notability criteria as independent articles be candidates for merge and redirection. This is a particularly non-notable article, and if I hadn't searched for and found a web page for it, I was guessing that it was a hoax. But, it does exist and should be redirected to the district article. Persistent refusal by the AfD regulars to consider and vote this as an option is becoming all the more disturbing.

 * I find it personally more disturbing that people are willing to merge articles where there is nothing to merge. The school is already mentioned in the school district (and the town) article. There is nothing else in the article we are discussing that is worth merging. This means we don't need to keep the history and don't need to keep the article. Fram 14:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - the article pretty much admits that the schools is non-notable. Guettarda 05:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, nothing worth keeping or merging, non notable school. Fram 14:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to its school district as suggested by Alansohn, per schools policies and competing guidelines. Verified as not a hoax.  Nothing else needs to be merged.  Barno 14:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * There are no schools policies, there are only proposed an rather heavily disputed guidelines. You can of course support a redirect, but please don't use incorrect reasons. Fram 14:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Incorrect?!?! There are two competing proposed policies for schools. Both suggest redirect. Please don't use incorrect reasons. Alansohn 15:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, incorrect. They are proposed, so they are for the moment not "policies or guidelines". Furthermore, there is not much chance of them becoming a guideline, and there is completely no chance of them ever becoming a policy (not one notability guideline, not even the most used ones like WP:MUSIC, WP:BIO or WP:CORP, is a policy). It is not because a suggestion is made in two disputed proposed guidelines that it becomes a guideline or a policy all of a sudden. Fram 15:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The clear consensus among both proposals is to merge and redirect where articles do not meet notability criteria. It's probably the only thing they agree on. As you indicate and acknowledge that there are apparently no policies in Wikipedia guiding this issue (or apparently any other issue), your failure to follow a clear consensus is completely contradictory to Wikipedia policy and completely and totally incorrect. Why not try to work together with other editors who aren't quite so vindictive as you are in destroying information. It's Wikipedia policy. Alansohn 15:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to see that already on this AfD alone, there are ten editors ignoring this "clear consensus" while only two editors endorse it. Furthermore, you haven't still adressed what there is to merge (i.e. what "information" am I vindictively destroying? None at all, it seems...). Fram 20:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to district page as per WP:SCHOOLS and common sense. Silensor 20:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per Alansohn  ALKIVAR &trade; &#x2622; 21:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I would appreciate it if anyone could give me an idea of what you are going to merge, as I don't see anything worth merging, and I don't think anyone has indicated anything I may have missed... Fram 21:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * redirect to district page please since people will search for this here Yuckfoo 03:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
