Queen of All Saints elementary school

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Prodded because the school is not notable. No claims to notability added after the prod was removed (two months ago). 132 distinct Google hits, none of them indicating importance in WP:RS except for a visit by the British Columbia minister of Education, as reported in one newspaper (no idea how important, independent, reliable this weekly newspaper is though: it has a staff of nine, including only two reporters / photographers) Fram 12:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - it's a school, hence it's notable. Markb 13:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * How so? Extraordinary Machine 23:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * comment I argue that schools are notable because they have a profound affect on their pupils (this could be several thousand people, depending on the age & size of a school). As such, this makes them notable, not only to their community but to the world at large if former pupils move away. Markb 13:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete disagree with Markb. Being a school does not make it notable of itself.  Certainly not an elementary school.--Wehwalt 14:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - it would be really great if we could move away from the trend of absolving certain categories of articles from having to assert their own notability. How far is it to "it's a building, it's notable" or "he's a living person, he's notable"?- Dmz5  *Edits**Talk* 16:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Completely non-notable elementary school. For an elementary school to warrant inclusion there needs to be something far more compelling that "it exists." Soltak | Talk 19:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Inkpaduta 20:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete; notability of school not established. Schools are not inherently notable. Extraordinary Machine 23:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete "I exist" does not prove notability, no matter what it is. Resolute 07:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Resolute. GreenJoe 19:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Existence is not notability. And, anyway, where are the independent sources ? WMMartin 21:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability not asserted, sources not evident. Shimeru 10:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
