Gabriela Mistral Elementary School

Fails ORG. Per school article guidelines and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, nominator would be quite happy with a redirect to the school district, which was attempted and undone by the article's creator. John from Idegon (talk) 13:59, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

I believe this school meets the notability criteria. It is a splitting of a school into two schools because the combined one was seen as masking a failing school populated by primarily low-socioeconomic students (this is appropriately sourced in the article). The school is in an unusual configuration of being a completely separate school within a single campus. What's not in the article yet (I am still writing it and being careful about making sure everything is cited appropriately, so it's taking awhile) is that this is causing a redirect of a majority of the measure G funding, which itself causes some controversy within the city. While I'm willing to accept placing the article within the Mountain View-Whisman School District page if that's the final verdict, I do believe that this school has enough notability (and will have enough content when the article is finished) to remain as a sub-article. jbailey (talk) 14:06, 4 October 2015 (UTC) ✅ Thanks for the feedback, I've done this now. jbailey (talk) 22:06, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect this to the district article. The nominator correctly describes Wikipedia's customary practice regarding elementary schools, and I don't find evidence to suggest this particular school has enough notability to require a separate article, especially since the district article provides a suitable place for the significant content of this article to be used. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:19, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per nominator and Arxiloxos. I support a high notability standard for articles about primary schools, limiting such freestanding articles to those about schools of clear historical or architectural significance. Covering this school in the school district article is the best outcome. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  21:34, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, you can't do that. After a week, some uninvolved party will close this. You are welcome to very selectively merge contents at that time. I've undone your redirect. John from Idegon (talk) 01:18, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * This is not correct. A nominator is free to withdraw a nomination and to redirect a page, particularly when there is no objection, as the AfD page indicates. Moreover, we are not in the business of pointless process. Neutralitytalk 05:49, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you linked the wrong thing, but what you linked doesn't say that at all. I nominated this, not Jbailey. Feel free to snow close this however, since you are not involved. No sense in engaging in "pointless process". John from Idegon (talk) 06:33, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * My apologies - I misread. I meant to say that the page creator (not nominator) indicated that he was fine with a redirect, and nobody else objected, so a speedy redirect would be OK. Neutralitytalk 22:10, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
