Non-notable school; nothing extraordinary. • Lawrence Cohen  14:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC) --Victor falk 17:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge at an appropriate level of detail with New Brunswick School District 16. I'm thinking that the school district article is an appropriate place to find the individual non-notable schools.  Accounting4Taste 14:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge as above: nn school. Eusebeus 14:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge or delete district 16 may be the apropriate place for James Hill. However, that template with every school in the district, all of them red-linked, is a bit discomforting:
 * Comment I suppose I'm suggesting that they should not be red-linked -- that the links to each school in the template should be removed, and that individual pages for each school should redirect to the New Brunswick School District 16 page. (If indeed there is a need for an infobox at all.)  I also admit I haven't thought this through in great detail, but I suggest that if we just keep deleting pages about individual schools, somebody will try to recreate them about once a year, and we'll all be going through this inevitably on a regular basis.  This way, there's a clear indication to anyone who wants to create a page for "Jane Doe Elementary School" that information about that school could and should be found in the article for "Area School District Number X".  This isn't to say that the school district's page can't contain a little bit of information about the school, like, say, its postal address and the number of its students.  Just not the name of the president of its chess club or a list of its third-string field hockey team members.  I do encourage debate on this, because it seems like the "should individual schools have their own article" policy is rather inchoate.  I'd also welcome suggestions about where precisely the appropriate place to have this discussion should be.  Accounting4Taste 17:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be bold and redirect them all, except the one on AfD. • Lawrence Cohen  17:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete It certainly appears non notable. --Stormbay 20:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There are probably elements of notability in every high school, and the way to avoid pointless debates is to keep them all. that is probably not the consensus yet, but I think it ought to be. In this case there appears to be notability from its online courses, which I think are still quite unusual in high schools. Elementary and junior high schools should be redirected. I'm having trouble figuring out from the history--were the other high schools red-linked when you redirected them or was there content? DGG (talk) 03:46, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, every single link in that above template was a redlink before I redirected them all. • Lawrence Cohen  06:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Except for James M. Hill Memorial High School itself, that is. • Lawrence Cohen  06:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
