Grafton Middle School
Contested prod. School that fails to establish notability, would fail WP:SCHOOL if it were policy, and is more or less an "i exist" piece. This is after I cleaned it up a bit too. Wizardman 02:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:N and WP:V, as nom. --Butseriouslyfolks 02:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. "I exist" is not good enough. Resolute 04:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The mention in York County School Division is surely sufficient. Drmaik 09:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to York County School Division so people who search by the school name will actually find the mention Drmaik is talking about.- Mgm|(talk) 10:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to York County School Division per above. Fails to establish notability, and a claim that "all schools are noteabel" is obviously false. Hut 8.5 10:54, 7 May 2007 &(UTC)
 * Delete per nom Bulldog123 11:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to York County School Division as suggested by WP:LOCAL and various proposed school guidelines. RFerreira 06:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per the above. --Myles Long 14:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to York County School Division. All school districts are notable; most high schools are notable; some middle schools are notable; this one does not seem to have adequate evidence of notability. A review of the school website, a Google search and a check of Google News/Archive did not uncover adequate evidence of notability. Consensus seems to be building that a redirect (with a merge, if appropriate) is the better way to deal with these situations, rather than the far more destructive delete option.

 * Merge/Redirect to York County School Division. Keep the limited information. -- DS1953 talk  00:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect as above. Georgewilliamherbert 23:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to York County School Division which already contains the only reliably sourced information we have on the school. JoshuaZ 01:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
