River Bend Middle School

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

non notable middle school; stub article on completely unremarkable school. Brianyoumans 22:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per precedent that middle schools are non-notable unless they have some special claim to notability. Note that someone has made these stub-class articles for every middle school in Loudoun County - see Loudoun County Public Schools.  We should delete those as well. --Hyperbole 23:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I thought I would AFD this one, and if it gets deleted, do a mass AFD on the others. --Brianyoumans 00:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It's nothing more than a directory. TJ Spyke 00:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I do feel slightly sorry for any kids who have put some effort into a page about their school, only for it to be deleted as nn. (Some school entries are better than others but a school is still non-notable even if the article on it is well written) That's not a reason to keep these articles however, unless the concencus is that all schools are notable. That doesn't appear to be the general view, so is there any way to have a mass cull of nn school pages? Jules1975 10:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I feel slightly sorry for anyone who puts time and effort into Wikipedia only to have it deleted; still, we don't want to end up with a whole class of articles that are of so little interest to all but a few individuals that we end up with little graffiti magnets subject to very little peer review. Schools are particularly notorious for this; I've got five or six high schools on my watchlist and the amount of vandalism I have to revert, compared to other articles, is ridiculous.  --Hyperbole 17:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I suspect this is not the work of kids but instead of a diligent new editor to Wikipedia who saw a bunch of red links and assumed that they all needed articles. The real culprit is people who red-link things that will never need articles. --Brianyoumans 18:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
