John Adams Middle School (Edison, New Jersey)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article covers a middle school that is not in any case notable (see WP:GNG), has no references, and is filled to the brim with grammar, spelling, and writing convention mishaps. The article's strange wording makes it appear as if the article was written by a student from the school. Standard procedure on Wikipedia mandates that individual school pages are redirected to the school district's website, and thus the page should redirect to Edison Township Public Schools. The unverifiable and at times irrelevant content within the article simply does not belong in an encyclopedia. EmperorNapoléonI (talk) 03:49, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Grammar, fluff, etc. are not valid reasons for deletion. That said, I am curious as to why  accepted this at AfC wiothout any references whatsoever. This is not to say it is impossible the school is notable, but at current there is no evidence of it.  If notability is not establish merging (not simply redirecting) to the district page is the correct outcome. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:47, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The page doesn't attempt to explain why this particular middle school is notable. From reading the article it's not apparent - I should also note that the creator of this article has quite the history of trying to create pages for schools in his/her area. Perhaps he/she can attempt to explain why this school is more notable than all of the rest of the schools in the world that don't have Wikipedia entries.

 * Merge / Redirect to Edison Township Public Schools The article has a lot of stuff, but there's nothing there in terms of references, let alone a credible claim of notability of any kind. A redirect to Edison Township Public Schools would keep the link, and the little worth merging can be added into the district article. Alansohn (talk) 17:43, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Edison Township Public Schools per longstanding tradition in handling elementary and middle schools expressed at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and demonstrated by around 1700 articles in the "redirected from schools" category. Jacona (talk) 15:49, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above; doesn't appear to be a notable school, and as is the norm, it should be redirected to its respective school district. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 16:44, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
