The result was   redirect to Winter Springs, Florida. This is of course a temporary measure, so editors have a chance to work out the details of any potential merger/expansion. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 22:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Indian Trails Middle School

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Just another run of the mill middle school, the only thing on the page that is encyclopaedic iS "Indian Trails Middle school is a middle school in Winter Springs, Florida that opened in 1992." which is nowhere near enough for an article. Thryduulf (talk) 08:41, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Move to the school district Seminole County Public Schools and add details about the district as a whole -- Eastmain (talk) 14:08, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to the school district Seminole County Public Schools and expand as suggested by Eastmain. Following WP:BEFORE, deletion is not appropriate when there is a merge option. TerriersFan (talk) 17:51, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep No reason to delete it. Otherwise, we ought to merge all Schools that are not notable into the district. However, this could be the argument that all schools K-8 should be ignored (Elementary and Middle), unless it is notable. What say you? The HighSchools should stay though. --Rockstone (talk) 19:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Most people would agree with you that articles about high schools should stay. Generally, (a) high schools are inherently notable because they grant the earliest certification of the completion of education within a community (i.e., the diploma); and that (b) elementary and middle schools have to demonstrate notability by showing of recognition outside the usual area.  A blue ribbon school will usually meet that standard and (c) school articles get merged to the article about the school district.  In this case, someone could make an article about the Seminole County Public Schools, although it looks like there are lots and lots of schools there.  It probably would get more mention in the Winter Springs article, which is the only place it can go to now. Mandsford (talk) 23:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
