Grace Baptist School

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:NOTE as it lacks significant coverage in sources independent of the subject. Tagged as non-notable for months. Was prodded but prod removed with "Try an AfD". No significant discussion in news sources, zero mention in book sources, zero mention in scholarly sources. Cirt (talk) 17:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Portland, Maine. Small, private school. TerriersFan (talk) 18:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Article is unsourced and non-notable and therefore should not be merged. As it is non-notable and not a likely search term and if deleted not likely to be recreated due to lack of significant coverage in secondary sources independent of the article, it should not be a redirect.

 * Everything in the article is non-contentious and factual and can be sourced (a reliable primary source is fine for a merge). It is an entirely likely search term. Lack of notability is no bar to a merge. We merge and redirect thousands of school articles and they are rarely if ever recreated. This is normal practice and could have been done without an AfD. 23:08, 4 December 2008 (UTC)TerriersFan (talk)


 * Keep A comprehensive primary and secondary school, and we have for months realized that all secondary schools can be adequately shown to be notable if enough work is done, and are kept on that basis,whether or not the sources are presently in the articles. And even primary schools are always redirected or merged to the school district or the city or diocese. It astounds me that one might  think the name of a school not  useful search term--considering the amount of nonsense that gets added to  many of these articles by the students, they are searched for very frequently. :) The challenge to our practie here ignore the practical consensus of the last year. I'd hate to revert to the older practice of trying to balance their notability one at a time. DGG (talk) 00:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Having thought about this again, and having had a better look around, I see that there are sufficient sources to allow expansion and compliance with WP:Org. TerriersFan (talk) 19:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * "I see that there are sufficient sources to allow expansion" - Please back up this statement. Cirt (talk) 19:25, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
