 * Don't Delete Is the other Lakeside Middle School really notable? Why isn't that nominated for deletion? This article is still a work in progress, I'm going to work on it tommorow. --3yoda (talk) 03:24, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - the other Lakeside Middle School is a Blue Ribbon School, and as such is notable. TerriersFan (talk) 18:20, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: Notability for Primary/Middle Schools has been getting more lax recently. If the author chooses to build this out, I don't see why we must delete it. --Mblumber (talk) 03:39, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * merge I don't think we're loosening up at all--we've been merging every one of them that comes along, except for the very few where there is something really important, such as blue ribbon schools, which is national level recognition, or something really distinctive -- which is quite rare. What we have here is a listing in Schools to Watch, and the question is whether its comparable to the Blue Ribbon program:  I'm not sure we want to count it.   Here's their web site: http://www.schoolstowatch.org/Home/tabid/80/Default.aspx -- perhaps someone should do an article on the program. They cover 18 states, middle schools only, and listed 79 schools in 2009.The awards seem to be based upon impressions at visits, not   quantitative evaluation.  DGG (talk) 05:26, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Selective merge I'd rather see it deleted for complete lack of encyclopedic relevance, but with the persistent misunderstanding all schools are notable without any sort of case-by-case assessment, that has zero chance of success. The program mentioned in the article is a local state chapter of the national program. Both use subjective criteria and don't appear to be a major award. Cut all the obvious crap about the mandatory subjects and the common choice lessons before merging in the school district or locality. - Mgm|(talk) 10:08, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * almost nobody thinks that all schools are notable,certainly not me. That's a straw man. What I understand most people think is that all secondary schools should be considered notable. DGG (talk) 20:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect what can be sourced to Pompton Lakes School District. I appreciate that the creator is hoping to source this up but my own searches are not encouraging. This is not a Blue Ribbon school and I can't trace sufficient material to make a convincing case to meet WP:ORG. However, if I can be proved wrong I shall be delighted to change my recommendation. Finally, I would add that bringing this for deletion 8 minutes after creation, and while it was still being written, is a real bad idea. TerriersFan (talk) 18:20, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect what can be sourced to Pompton Lakes School District. School apparently does not have any sourced criteria that makes it stand-out with any distinction.  Our consistent manner of treating such primary schools is to merge them with an appropriate district or regional authority article.   Jerry   delusional ¤ kangaroo 17:02, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
