Just another elementary school, nothing notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 226Trident (talk • contribs) 2010/03/10 02:38:22
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:46, 12 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak delete/SmergeorRedirect Previous AFDs have generally deleted elementary school articles,or merged them with the school district article, but kept high school articles. If coverage in books, magazines, and newspapers show that some elementary school or middle school has special architectural notability, or if some new system of pedagogy spread from there to revolutionize education, or if it is historically important for some other reason, then it might get kept in AFD. These articles typically just copy and paste from the school's website. This article's creators are commendable for finding and cited press coverage in local papers, although it is typically routine, such as funding of the building and expansion of the school. There are news items in addition about sewage backup and storm damage. All this seems pretty routine I suggest a redirect "Smerge" or selective merge to the school district article, Community Consolidated School District 62, leaving out most of the directory information of who the school secretaries and officials have been over the years, and what the enrollment was each year.

 * Comment We don't have an article for Community Consolidated School District 59 (Illinois), which has a lot of elementary and middle schools, of which Cumberland Elementary is one, and Chippewa Middle is another. Maybe someone can write an article that draws from this  and leaves out all but a few facts from this article.  Links can be tossed in for people who want to know more about sewage spills and the like.  Mandsford (talk) 18:05, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment We do so have an article, because I spent a lot of time and effort creating it. I have now moved Community Consolidated School District 62 to Community Consolidated School District 62 (Illinois) which is the relevant district.  I do not agree that it is encyclopedic to detail every sewage spill or damaged roof at every elementary school in the world, or at this one in particular. That said, there could well be a paragraph about each school with referenced information which the community finds to be encyclopedic, following the summary table I created. We should avoid undue weight given one sewage backup, or any other one negative news story in  coverage of some school with a long history. One of the schools, Iroquois Community School, goes year-round  and that certainly deserves a paragraph as well. I created the table from the individual school report cards, but could not find individual school numbers for faculty and student faculty ratios. Edison (talk) 23:23, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Very good. I've updated the entry in the article Des Plaines, Illinois to reflect the existence of that article.      The other information can be placed in an article called List of every sewage spill or damaged roof at every elementary school in the world if someone wishes to create one.

 * Merge Into existing article on Des Plaines, Illinois. Warrah (talk) 12:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect - "Just another elementary school, nothing notable." so lets merge it into Community Consolidated School District 62 (Illinois) and thanks to Edison for his hard work on creating this. This shows how much better it is for the development of the encyclopaedia to create omnibus pages rather than to shrug shoulders and select an easy delete option.
