Open Classroom Charter School of Salt Lake City

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete, attempted a redirect to district page as this is a non notable elementary and middle school. Edit was reverted by User:Orlady stating that school seemed notable and to take to AFD. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 19:17, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. I believe this to be a rare case of a notable elementary school. After the nominator PRODed this article, I deprodded it and added citations to a speech by the head of the state education department, in which he highlighted the school's "unique philosophy", and a website about a documentary film about innovative schools that includes some sort of mention of this school. Additionally, the school is featured in a book, and a search in Google Scholar turned up several journal articles that appear to be about this school, but I don't have full-text access:, , . --Orlady (talk) 19:41, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Close as a content dispute as per WP:Deletion policy The nominator made a redirect under Editorial policy and was reverted.  The fact that two editors have agreed to challenge each other at AfD does not bind the community.  The place to discuss content disputes is on the talk page of the article, which currently has no discussion.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:19, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Unxcintillating, I respectfully suggest that this is not a content dispute. This is an entirely appropriate topic for an AFD. The issue here is not the content of the article, but rather the question of whether the article topic is notable per WP criteria. --Orlady (talk) 03:39, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I'm not in conflict with Orlady at all. I prefer deletion honestly but they usually are redirected so that was what I did. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 04:29, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The argument for deletion was contrived to allow the creation of a discussion here. Since WP:N is not a content policy, I can see why you might argue that this is not a content dispute, but I have cited Editing policy.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:45, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see any basis for calling this a content dispute, Unscintillating. It is generally agreed that the vast majority of elementary schools are not notable, and therefore should not have articles. Many AFDs for elementary schools end by redirecting the page to the school district article, which is what Hell in a Bucket did in this case. The question here is notability, not content. I am not arguing about article content; I am just saying that this particular school is notable. --Orlady (talk) 03:01, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you agree that there is no theoretical case for deletion here, only redirect-without-deletion, merge, or keep? Unscintillating (talk) 04:03, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * To be frank, I think that's what the AfD discussion is for: to determine whether there is a case for deletion or not. The nominator has advanced a valid reason for deletion under the deletion policy, which is that this school is not notable. Redirects and merges can be suggested as alternatives to deletion at AfD. I see no reason why we should speedily close this discussion. Mz7 (talk) 20:59, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
