Poe Elementary School (Houston)

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

Notability in question. As this is an elementary school which has NOT received a Blue Ribbon Award, I am unsure of its notability. The sole criteria for its inclusion as an article of its own has been the fact that there was a school shooting there in 1959. The shooting itself has its own article. I wonder if maybe the shooting itself is notable history, but the school itself is not notable, and therefore the article on the shooting should be kept, but the article on the school itself should be a redirect back to the district. Personal note which may or may not be helpful: my son went to this school for three years, and I was unaware of the shooting until I read about it on wikipedia.

 * Merge to Houston Independent School District. Elementary schools tend not to be notable. Reywas92 Talk  19:38, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Complex merge into Poe Elementary School attack and Houston Independent School District, with redirect to HISD and a note in the HISD page linking to Poe Elementary School attack. Resurrect article it it becomes notable for more than a single event.  No need to delete edit history, it will be useful should the school become notable enough for an article. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  20:16, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
