De-prodded without explanation, and without any significant improvement to show notability. Other than existing, nothing to indicate the notability of this school. It gets lots of trivial mentions in Books, of the kind, "so and so was the principal" or "so and so attended", but not enough in-depth coverage to show notability.

 * Keep. It is a museum.  Museums are public attractions, and almost always have coverage, besides and including routine mentions in events guides, travel literature, etc.  It is a help for Wikipedia to provide reference information, like it is to cover concert halls and arenas and other event venues.  The article needs development, coverage of the museum itself, but there are plenty of sources, including this.  It could be tagged for further development, or someone could just develop it.  The current edgy spin is fine if accurate, which I assume it is.--Doncram (talk) 15:26, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful information for expansion at https://books.google.com/books?id=A8MMAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA297 and https://books.google.com/books?id=TIklvz7XKUQC&pg=PA88. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:26, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep small historical museum with an interesting building: "late Federal-era structure, it has an unusual two-story porch and..." (New Hampshire Architecture: An Illustrated Guide - Page 281), according to book I just cited, In use as a school until 1892, then became a library, now a museum.  But the really interesting back story is in The Letters of William Lloyd Garrison - Volume 6 - Page 112.  Who knew they had a Segregation academy - a deliberate breakaway from an integrated school - in New Hampshire in the 1830s.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:40, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Appears to meet WP:GNG. --  Dane talk  18:50, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep This will close as a keep, but we might consider merging with Canaan Street Historic District, so I'm adding that as a merger proposal on the talk page. We'll see how it goes. Jack N. Stock (talk) 17:54, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't like that, with this AFD open. It seems like a "sore loser" proposal, to delete the article a different way.  You could contribute by using the sources mentioned here to actually develop the article.  Calling for everyone to consider a repeat deletion proposal does not help.  What's needed is for someone to actually develop the article. --Doncram (talk) 22:55, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * A merger proposal is a different matter to AfD. Please don't conflate them. Also, please consider WP:PA. Jack N. Stock (talk) 23:12, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
