 * Redirect to List of English public schools in Ottawa. Double Blue  (Talk) 04:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's an elementary school, there isn't a whole lot of info on it. I don't see why it deserves to be deleted though, there are many other articals on elementary schools in Ottawa, many with no more info then this one, that haven't been deleted. Please give me time to work on it and find reliable sources. --Kanata Kid (talk) 17:44, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I suggest that you copy the content to User:Kanata Kid/Katimavik Elementary School. You can develop it there and reintroduce it if you find enough reliable sources to meet WP:ORG. TerriersFan (talk) 18:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

1. There are other other articals about elemntary schools in ottawa, which to me seems that means this one should have the right to exist to. 2. I don't have the time or know-how to find more sources for this aritcal, but I'm sure they exist and others can and know where to find them. 3. Wikipedia's goal is "to create a database of all human knowledge." If you let this artical exist others will come along and help to expand it. Ever notice that the lable for a stub artical says "Please help by expanding this artical," not "please help by deleting this artical"? 4.Take these articals for example: Hawthorne Public School, Castlefrank Elementary School, Pinecrest Public School.
 * Merge/redirect to List of English public schools in Ottawa. TerriersFan (talk) 18:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Here are my arguments against deletion:

Please reconsider deleting this artical.--Kanata Kid (talk) 20:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is that Notability is a guideline that Wikipedia editors have agreed upon. Unless a primary school article can establish notability with reliable sources, it is frequently merged/redirected to its school district or locality. I would also recommend saving a copy of the article in case of deletion: either to your userspace or to your computer with Microsoft Word or another text-editing document. --Jh12 (talk) 21:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as a non-notable elementry school. I don't support a redirect because the school district doesn't do any better as an article for the school. Tavix (talk) 22:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

It seems to me that the discussion here would support keeping this article.--Kanata Kid (talk) 12:12, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The results of that discussion merely asked that the schools be considered on an individual basis, including "bringing any of these articles back to AFD individually." Again, I believe the best way to survive an Afd for Katimavik Elementary School is to find notable recognition/coverage. Barring that, the article can always be re-created if/when such sources are found. Best, --Jh12 (talk) 13:20, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
