 * Delete. School is not notable. No references except school site. Student7 (talk) 19:18, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Schools are used by 100's of folk everyday and that makes them notable. The article needs some work, and has a good chance of becoming a good article. scope_creep (talk) 21:01, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The same argument can be made for the toilets at those schools. Let's not revert to the silly (and long since debunked) arguments of several years ago on this matter, please.  We have good notability criteria based upon sourcing now.  Apply them. Uncle G (talk) 20:15, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, no references beyond school's website, and this article essentially duplicates that content while adding some unsourced commentary about the principal change, etc. -- Kinu t /c  20:22, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per below sounds like a legitimate solution. Could potentially be a search term that should go somewhere (and to possibly discourage recreation). -- Kinu t /c  23:54, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kennesaw, Georgia, where it is already mentioned. This is a non-notable primary school. • Gene93k (talk) 23:20, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kennesaw, Georgia per Gene93k and WP:OUTCOMES. Deor (talk) 23:35, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Uncle G, no, that would be silly indeed. The real problem though, is that there are 10's of thousands of USA schools made it in to WP for no particular reason except they exist, and somebody decided to add them. But for some reason now, schools need to be "notable" when the clearly represent pure factual encyclopedic information, and they are getting removed at a rapid rate. If that bias is allowed to exist and continue, at some point its going to damage the reputation of WP in the eye's of the up and coming generation. It could become another MySpace and the real work will be moved somewhere else, probably to China. They have a much more cohesive rational towards the value of raw information. That's the reason I want it kept in. scope_creep (talk) 01:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't recall grade school articles being given free rein on Wikipedia before and "now" needing to be notable; it seems to me that they have always been almost habitually sent to AfD &mdash; and, it's worth pointing out, are usually found not to meet the notability guidelines. And these guidelines are why Wikipedia doesn't become MySpace. --Closeapple (talk) 11:03, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Gene93k and Deor, as we normally do for elementary schools. This is an elementary school -- it only goes up to the 6th grade (students up to 11 or 12 years old). Elementary schools are not presumed notable, and this article gives no reason to suggest that this school is notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:31, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Gene93k, Deor, and Metropoliotan90. WP:OUTCOMES provides sufficient  rationale. Other than directory  and social networking  sites, I  have not  found any other sources at  all that  might  establish notabiity.--Kudpung (talk) 02:24, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above: fails WP:ORG; and as mentioned, grade schools don't get the presumption that notability will be established, as high schools often do. --Closeapple (talk) 11:03, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Don't understand "redirect" votes. This is on an elementary school, not a high school. There are perhaps tens of thousands of elementary schools in the country. All redirects? Seems a change in policy somehow. We've discouraged elementary and middle schools til now (unless notable) for reasons of vandalism.Student7 (talk) 15:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - a mention of elementary schools in their district article (US public schools) or their locality (others) is just fine, just as we mention and redirect parks, art galleries and loads of other features. Vandalism isn't a reason not to create articles. Having said that, vandalism on merged and redirected schools is not a common occurrence. TerriersFan (talk) 16:24, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Kennesaw, Georgia per usual practice. TerriersFan (talk) 16:24, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Kennesaw, Georgia per usual practice - we have well established policy/guidelines on  all  this. Unlrss they  have doene something  extraordfinary  to  assert special  notability  such  as being  hundreds of years old, or having  bred a succession  of presidents, or received an important  national or international award, primary  schools are just  not  notable, neither in  the US  nor here in  the UK.--Kudpung (talk) 05:38, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
