 * Keep All schools are notable, I have never been inside an elementary, middle, or high school office that wasn't lined with news articles that dealt exclusively with the school framed on the wall. Many of these are old news and not archived online but we should keep and open mind and keep based on NRVE. If not merge with the district until more content is available for later splintering off but my problem with that is that it may discourage article development. This school is verified and therefore is harmless here and it is likely to be a topic of interest and a good neutral history should be online as wikipedia is not paper.LuciferWildCat (talk) 22:52, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is not the case that all elementary schools are notable per wp standards. Quite the opposite--the normal course is to redirect, as editors have indicated above.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:38, 24 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep With response to Purplebackpack89, Wikipedia is not just for important things. If someone wants to make an article about a piece of paper, and writes it according to the guideline, I don't think that there is anything wrong with this.
 * I tried to add some references, but I couldn't find anything. Since this is a verified school (to check, go to Lansing School District's website), could we just hold off on the deletion for a little bit? I agree with Luciferwildcat, if we merge this in, who would want to help it grow?

 * Hi. Your comment does not seem to address how this article could be considered notable under wp standards.  The fact that you yourself could not find any references simply supports a deletion determination; not the opposite.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:38, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, since I'm pretty new here, I didn't realize that it had to be notable per wp standards. Sure, I would support a Merge or a Delete. Sorry.
