Palmer elementary school

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Does not pass WP:ORG. Elementary schools are generally not notable and would not pass even the more inclusive proposed guideline WP:SCHOOL that was recently rejected. I looked around on google and could not find substantial coverage by independent reliable sources. Based on its style, the article looks like it may have been written by a student, possibly as an experiment. Nsk92 (talk) 13:34, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment In the long run, the nominator is right about notability. And I appreciate that Nsk92 has made this a straight nomination on Wikipedia policies; we should follow nominator's example, which is to avoid comment on a student's writing skills, and I hope that other editors will do the same.  If I have any criticism of the nomination, it's only that I'd have preferred that a few extra days have been allowed before putting the deletion tag on a kid's first contribution.

 * Delete as not notable. Only HS + get an auto pass on notability.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 15:40, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per general precedent that schools under high-school level are not notable without extraodinary evidence otherwise. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete -- or merge into Palmer, Tennessee, if any content is judged to be salvageable. Article seems to be based solely on author's own knowledge, but sourced information about this school could be good addition to the article about the town. The school district website does not seem to have useful information about this school. --Orlady (talk) 20:21, 13 September 2008 (UTC) Update: I found a new school district website, that has a tiny amount of info about this school, mostly that School Colors are Purple and White, Mascot is the Bulldog, and the Principal is Mrs. Sadie Smartt. Also, they apparently were established in 1927, as they celebrated their 80th birthday in 2007. Nothing I have seen indicates that this school is notable, but info from this article could be merged to the article about Palmer. --Orlady (talk) 20:32, 13 September 2008 (UTC) More info: Official school enrollment statistics are on this webpage. --Orlady (talk) 20:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; not notable, Or Merge as per above, if any useful information can be put into the Palmer, Tennessee article. RockManQ (talk) 21:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete elementary schools are generally not notable. JuJube (talk) 22:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above. We66er (talk) 23:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No notable information to merge currently. Would not recommend redirecting because there are 17 elementary schools with a similar name . I commend Orlady for the research; that information could be added to Palmer, Tennessee, or to Grundy County School District ideally. --Jh12 (talk) 11:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
