 * Keep and expand - Being that it was a school that operated before the Internet (or even before personal computers), it would be prudent that if people found sources through print media about Doan's Hollow. GVnayR (talk) 15:15, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into one big article about Norfolk County schools; i've seen a proposal for merging to the Grand Erie District School Board, although that covers three counties. These aren't grouped in one nomination, so a boilerplate answer for this.  This and the nominations that follow appear to have been part of a project of about 50+ articles about Norfolk County, Ontario in Template:Norfolk County, Ontario and even an entire category called Category:Elementary schools in Norfolk County, Ontario.  Needless to say, there is not a right of entitlement for articles about all of the elementary schools in any locality.  If any of these are notable outside the immediate area, then a keep should be considered, but this seems to be unfamiliarity of Wikipedia's general rules of notability.

 * Weak keep While references are severely lacking, being a pioneer school in its field in the area means it could potentially be encyclopedic. Let's give people a chance to improve it. - Mgm|(talk) 18:17, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - pioneering in special education. Special Education in Ontario Schools, Ken Weber, Highland Press (1999), ISBN 0969306172 should also be consulted. TerriersFan (talk) 00:52, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
