North Smithfield Middle School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

In the US education system, if something is not at least in part educating students at the high school level we expect really good sourcing. The sourcing here mainly consists of a book published 32 years before the school opened. This article suffers from significant coat racking. A search for more information on google turned up the general information sites that you will find on every middle and elementary school at least for the US, but no reliable sources adding in depth details on this middle school.

I (Extraordinary Writ) nominate the following related page since both pages contain duplicative content and are about schools found at the same address:


 * Merge and Redirect both to North Smithfield, Rhode Island North Smithfield School District. Neither article contains any pertinent sources sufficient to pass the GNG, and most of the article is about the history of education in the town more generally. As such, the information can be included in the article about the town school district, and the pages can be redirected to that article.

 * Redirect - but where? I think the best solution would be to merge and redirect both, but to seperate articles. The elementary school (at this time) would be best redirected to the settlement article (merged to the point of creating a listing of schools at the settlement article if that doesn't already exist). But as there is content in North Smithfield High School on the genesis of this school already, the middle school should redirect there. The notability of the high school is marginal, so perhaps the optimum solution is to merge both articles at hand to the high school, and rewrite and move that article to North Smithfield Public Schools, a topic that is undeniably notable. 174.254.192.159 (talk) 01:57, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 23:56, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge both to North Smithfield School District. It makes no sense to merge to the settlement when there's an extant article on the school district. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 04:08, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finding that - I'm not sure how we all missed it. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:19, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
