Dr. Cheryl Corbett Salyards Middle School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An overly promotional article about a middle school. Middle schools are not presumed to be notable, and I found no significant coverage of the school from reliable sources. Additionally, the article is so promotional in tone that it would have to be fundamentally rewritten even if it were notable. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 04:57, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District per usual custom for non-notable middle schools. In addition, I suspect this article is, in part, a hoax, or perhaps satire. The school is real, but doubts about the details are inevitably raised by unverifiable references to courses in Pig Latin, "Clowinging and Mime", and "Advanced Chalk Design"; the ""National Junior Riverdance Educational Competition"; a teacher who knows Parseltongue (evidently a Harry Potter reference); "Carnegie Watermelon University"; and "Doug Harbrueger, owner of the Indianapolis Colts and former fine arts teacher, recently made a sizeable donation to add courses in Egyptian Costuming and Interior Design for students."  See also the related article Advanced Academic Strategies, which may have similarly dubious content. --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:48, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. Article content undeniably a hoax; among other statements previously noted, Jim Irsay (not "Doug Harbrueger") is the actual owner of the Indianapolis Colts. Calamondin12 (talk) 12:43, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Upon closer inspection, this seems to be a very tongue in check troll article. Other points of reference I found include claims that a professor can speak Canadian, that a professor painted the Mona Lisa in 1998, references to a McNutty award (which seems to be a parody of the McNulty Award, ect. This could possibly be speedy deleted per WP:G3 or at the very least deleted per WP:SNOW. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 17:09, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District as a non-notable middle school. No objection to deleting the article first. The school is real but the article's content is a hoax. I'm finding only routine coverage for this school. • Gene93k (talk) 12:28, 11 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District per usual custom for non-notable middle schools. This is obviously a joke, but the school does exist and a redirect would be appropriate. Jacona (talk) 13:56, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as a blatant hoax. "Dr. Laura Poff is the director of Foreign Languages. She graduated from Dumbledore University in 2001 with a degree in Linguistics Management." Carrite (talk) 00:51, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
