Essa Secondary School (Under Construction)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unopened, unnamed school, I believe this may be a case of WP:TOOSOON. Wuh Wuz  Dat  20:15, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. I've found one source, but it's a press release mentioning that a school will be built (found here). I'd say that Essa Secondary School could be redirected to Simcoe County District School Board, but the current title (with the "Under Construction") is an unlikely search term. I've half a mind to cite WP:HAMMER as well, though that's a bit of a stretch. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 21:25, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment: I'm not sure TOOSOON is applied very often... there's already a page for the iPad 2 that has survived AfDs. If that survives, why not this? Maury Markowitz (talk) 23:50, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. I believe that within the last year or so we decided to keep a school that was set to open within a couple of months--I can't remember the name of that school right now, maybe someone else will. I don't know what will be the consensus view here, where there's a longer wait before it opens.  But I would note that there has already been at least some coverage in third party reliable sources to verify the school's opening date and the hiring of its new principal, and the school does have a listing and a page at the Simcoe County District School Board website. So I am not sure there is much point in deleting the article.--Arxiloxos (talk) 01:23, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTALand WP:NOTDIR. Secondary schools may enjoy immunity from CSD and thus de facto notability, but that does not give them licence to WP:IAR on the rest of the policies. There is no panic whatsoever for an article of this kind and for the permastub that it will be, it can be submitted when the school has been opened - and there is no guarantee that it will open on time. Education is notorious for having a plethora of online school directories. Wikipedia is not one of them. Kudpung (talk) 16:26, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - When this school has been open for two years per my standards, then I will support the article's re-creation. See you in 2012 or 2013. Bearian (talk) 19:55, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete possible recreate once the school actually exists. No assertion of notability. OSbornarfcontributionatoration 23:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per all of the above. Admrboltz (talk) 18:51, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I would respectfully disagree with Bearian's standards; but nonetheless it looks like the school is not (yet) notable. bobrayner (talk) 14:26, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
