D. Bethune Duffield Elementary School (Detroit)
This doesn't appear to be a notable school. A redirect to Detroit Public Schools should replace this article. I will be happy to retract this AFD if evidence of notability is found. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Close You don't need an AFD to redirect an article. Unfortunately, such a merge would probably receive resistence from people who consider all schools notable. Discussing a merge to the locality or school district at WP:MRFD is a better idea considering there are a few independent sources. - Mgm|(talk) 11:14, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I did the AFD route because another user reverted my merge, and because I wanted to demonstrate to the user why the article shouldn't remain. Also Keep in mind that another user pointed out that this is an "implausible search term." WhisperToMe (talk) 02:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Surely you can gain the same consensus to merge on a page created for the purpose of discussing mergers? - Mgm|(talk) 09:42, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * We don't take pages to AfD to make points to users; we politely explain the situation on their talk pages. MGM is correct, this is not the forum to propose redirection. TerriersFan (talk) 17:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Detroit Public Schools per usual practice. Not a Blue Ribbon school and I can't find enough sources to support its own page. TerriersFan (talk) 14:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redirecting would be nonsensical as it would be an implausible search term. Tavix | Talk  01:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - not only is redirecting not nonsensical but it is essential. There is a small amount of sourced content that can be merged so the redirect is needed; not as a search term but for GFDL reasons. I have now carried out the merge. TerriersFan (talk) 17:18, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
