The result was Redirect to Menlo Park, California. Though there is no agreement on whether a redirect or deletion is most suitable the two outcomes are not greatly different and there's no actual objection to the redirect outcome. Hut 8.5 12:25, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Kindergartens and primary schools and those through 8th grade are not generally notable under wp standards, and are subject to deletion/redirect; this appears to be one of the NN ones Epeefleche (talk) 09:22, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Sources have not been provided to satisfy WP:N and WP:ORG. Edison (talk) 18:12, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete; a couple mentions in reliable sources, but none significant enough to meet WP:ORG. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:34, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Menlo Park per standard procedure. Non   notable schools are generally  not  deleted; instead,  as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to  the article about  the school district (USA) or to  the article about  the locality (rest  of the world). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:57, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the  on  the redirect  page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:57, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Menlo Park, California (not to Menlo Park since that is just a DAB page). The Menlo Park article currently lacks an "education" section but one might be added later. This is a private K-8 school whose news coverage is purely routine. --MelanieN (talk) 15:58, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * redirect  of course., per Maelanie; it's our standard way of doing it. I can not figure out, with this the usual option, why the nom decided to bring it here--especially when he himself accepts redirect as a solution. Perhaps he thinks he need general endorsement here to do the obvious, but he doesn't, & could just boldly have gone ahead with the redirect he asks for.  DGG ( talk ) 04:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * In similar AfDs of late, we have had a range of !votes -- including keep, delete, merge, and redirect. And we have had varying closes. And even on this page, we have a variety of suggested closes -- even among those who favor redirect.  Perhaps a notability guideline addition would help clarify these type AfDs. --Epeefleche (talk) 04:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * We have had zero policy based arguments =why redirects aren't suitable. We have had some rather absurd arguments that Orford is enough to show notability, but I know nobody else who agrees with that,.  DGG ( talk ) 05:29, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Warden is not the only editor who has suggested that a keep is appropriate for such schools. Ebe123 for example expressed that view this week at Articles for deletion/École Beaubassin, and Zero did so at Articles for deletion/Bearwood Primary School (2nd nomination).  And editors have disagreed often this week as to whether a delete is the better course, or a deletion of the text with a redirect of the title ... and closes this week have followed the consensus at the AfDs, which have varied.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
