Gray charter school

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nice work on the article so far! However, elementary and middle schools usually do not warrant their own article. Per WP:OUTCOMES, "Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability are now getting merged or redirected in AfD. Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district that operates them (North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia." -- Sailing to Byzantium  ( msg ),  18:52, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, per WP:OUTCOMES, I vote for Merge/Redirect. See my discussion with the author of the article here-- Sailing to Byzantium  ( msg ),  19:53, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * After further research, I think Keep is appropriate here. I did not realize how significant a Blue Ribbon award was when I nominated the article. I will do some work to clean the article up. -- Sailing to Byzantium  ( msg ),  21:14, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per Alansohn and StB's cleanup. Merge/redirect per consensus on nearly all primary schools. tedder (talk) 20:05, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep while I agree that the overwhelming majority of primary schools should be redirected, the school does have a claim of notability as a Blue Ribbon school and based on the circumstances of its establishment, as documented here among many other sources online and in print. The article needs to be renamed and drastically reworked, but there is a credible claim of notability here that makes this school stand out from others that I agree should be merged/redirected to a district/local article.

 * Keep The school has a clear claim to notability, having won a Blue Ribbon award. Warden (talk) 21:00, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Hrm, I may have been a bit overeager with my WP:AFD here, but I'm not fully convinced yet. It looks like about 300 schools a year win the Blue Ribbon Award. Nevertheless, I've added an additional citation to the article about the award. -- Sailing to Byzantium  ( msg ),  21:09, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update to the article; I've added some additional material to flesh out the article and am only more convinced that there might be some merit to retention in this case, unlike most others. Alansohn (talk) 21:40, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Awesome work. Thanks a lot for doing that. -- Sailing to Byzantium  ( msg ),  22:01, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article meets notability guidelines, and has improved source material. Terrific job to all that expanded it. Tinton5 (talk) 03:13, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
