Louise Archer Elementary School

Elementary school without clear notability, redirect to Fairfax County Public Schools should be restored as is normally done. Jacona (talk) 14:16, 14 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep. School is of historic and demographic interest. Originally a school for African-American students during the period of segregation in Virginia, its location in close proximity to the Flint Hill Elementary School is likely a reflection of that history. The school also reflects the changing population of that part of Vienna, now with a majority white student body. The school is named after its first and long-time principal, who has been recognized by the Library of Virginia's "Virginia Women in History" program. The article does need work, but the topic seems to me to merit an article. It is hardly less notable than Van Pelt Elementary School, and notable in different ways than Poplar Tree Elementary School, just to mention two other public elementary schools in Virginia for which there are uncontested articles on WP. A broader issue is the place of elementary schools generally in Wikipedia, but that can be discussed elsewhere.--A12n (talk) 19:23, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Snow keep for historical significance, although Nom is perfectly correct that most grade schools aren't notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:49, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
