Franklin Elementary School (Royal Oak, Michigan)

Inappropriate material; school does not appear to exist anyway Ψν Psinu 11:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Important Comment Before registering your esteemed opinions here, please look at the article . This isn't being AfDed because it's an elementary school, or because it's not notable, or whathaveyou - it's because it's clearly a kiddie entry about a school that may not even exist anymore.  It should have been speedied, but I think this morning's Speedy Delete Overlord just kind of knee-jerked with a literal interpretation of CSD A7.  It doesn't appear that this is a viable entry, not even as a stub.  Ψν Psinu 11:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a memorial. Not for people, and certainly not for communities that had no notability prior to disbanding. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 12:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Blanchardb's comment. The article doesn't look very professional and has no valuable information in the first place. ~NeonFire372~ (talk) 13:05, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The school was town down; the school was awesome?  Does not an article make.  —   pd_THOR  undefined | 14:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing notable about the lunch monitors. Strandwolf (talk) 17:56, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. No decision yet but there is a possible article concerning the closing and sale. GoogleNews. Double Blue  (Talk) 23:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Royal Oak Neighborhood Schools. I suspect the most logical place for discussion of the consolidation issue is in context on the board article. Double Blue  (Talk) 00:22, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The article linked above only has a mention that it was sold in 2005. Ψν Psinu 18:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your comment. Were you speaking of my GoogleNews link? That links to at least three dozen articles about the school, mostly concerning the controversy surrounding the closing, sale, and demolition of the 75-year-old school. Double Blue  (Talk) 04:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no articles for schools that aren't around unless there's some serious notability. CRGreathouse (t | c) 02:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. From WP:N (schools), an admitted work in progress: "A school article that fails to establish notability will not be deleted, if the school can be confirmed to exist." This school most likely does not exist any longer; see the education section on this Wiki page. I can't find a definitive statement that it was torn down, but everything points to it, including this article itself. Tanthalas39 (talk) 03:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and listify in appropriate district article. There is no content there to merge, and a nonexistent school is highly unlikley to generate any further coverage and suddenly become notable.  But I love the quote: "Put the snow. On the ground".  We should find somewhere to put that. jk. JERRY talk contribs 00:32, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
