Huckleberry Hill School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unremarkable elementary school. I tried redirecting this to Brookfield, Connecticut per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES (when it was at Huckleberry Hill School (Brookfield) before the article's creator did a copy/paste move) but was reverted by the creator, and I don't feel like getting into an edit war about the matter. It's to be hoped that a consensus for deletion or redirection here will convince him or her. Deor (talk) 22:06, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete or reinstate redirect. Nothing significant about this school has been covered by reliable sources. Fails notability per WP:ORG, GNG, and WP:N. Primary sources and coverage of routine maintenance do not indicate notability. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:34, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Brookfield, Connecticut as is our usual practice for non-notable primary schools. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:04, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't understand why this school is being targeted among all the Connecticut school stubs on the Category:Connecticut school stubs page. This article is much longer than these other articles, and includes many more references. This is exactly why I said earlier to allow me more time to finish working on the article and not remove the construction template, but that was not the case. If this article is deleted, then it seems that we must delete many more school-stub pages, since this one contains much more material, is larger and more notable than many others.


 * Another aspect I would like to point out, is that school notability is different than notability for let's say, a business. Schools are notable based on alumni (which are rarely listed on middle and elementary schools), academic and test score rankings, and significance within a community. I encourage everyone who will vote or has already voted to keep this in mind while reading this article, and then make a realistic decision as to whether or not this school is any more or less notable than the other schools currently listed on the Connecticut school stub category page.--AirportExpert (talk) 17:17, 6 November 2017 (UTC)AirportExpert


 * Schools are not notable based on alumni - notability is not inherited. Academic and test score rankings certainly do not add to notability - Wikipedia is neither a 'Best schools' site nor a popularity contest for any other topic.

 * Comment: I am just confused as to why this page should be deleted, when pages such as these belong under the Connecticut school stubs category. If what is being described here are reasons to delete a school-based article, then it seems as if every school listed under this category should be deleted.--AirportExpert (talk) 17:17, 6 November 2017 (UTC)AirportExpert
 * As WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES indicates, there has been an (unofficial) working procedure on Wikipedia with regard to schools: articles about verifiable secondary schools and colleges are usually kept, whereas articles about elementary and middle schools are redirected to their locales or school districts. If there are any of the latter in the stub category, it's probably because no one has noticed the articles yet. Deor (talk) 19:49, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This fate of this article is being determined on its own merits which has nothing to do with other articles. As noted above, other schools in this category probably have not been noticed. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 22:20, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
