 * Comment Yes, thank you. I should have indicated that this should be a redirect rather than a mere deletion.JoelWhy (talk) 13:49, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Why must all the school redirects come through AFD, when the nominator typically desires the article be replaced by a redirect to the locality or school district, rather than actual deletion?  Perhaps a middle school or elementary school could be listed at Articles for creation/Redirects, if an editor does not wish to be bold and go ahead and make the redirect, although that page does not have discussions; it is just a page where individual editors make the decisions.  Such requests might be rejected there as not being called for in any notability guideline or policy. A solution to this would be to add language to WP:ORG recommending a redirect for the typical elementary or middle school  which lacks refs to demonstrate notability, to bring WP:ORG  into accord with the essay WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES as reflecting the consensus of the community. There was a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (organizations and companies) Dec 2011-Feb 2012 which discussed this issue(starting with the question of "Blue Ribbon Schools") without actually resulting in any change to the language of the guideline.

 * Comment I looked back through the archives at Articles for creation/Redirects through Jan 2011, and there were no instances where such a redirect as this was requested, as opposed to redirects which just helped the reader get to an article about a school. Is it the wish of the community to keep devoting a significant (edited to add:) small proportion of the AFD space each day to the creation of redirects for elementary and middle schools, since that gives fans of any of them a chance to introduce references? I checked WikiProject Deletion sorting/Schools/archive for April 2012 and found 15 elementary and middle schools brought to AFD, with 13 merge/redirect outcomes and 2 deletions (where it was a copyvio or there was no redirect target. I guess there aren't as many of these as it seemed, and they do not add that much to the AFD plate. Edison (talk) 17:07, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
