Santa Maria Middle School, Arizona

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This Fowler Elementary School District middle school article is not only a trainwreck, but it probably doesn't pass muster at the GNG. Most of AZ's middle school articles are gone, but this one probably needs to join them. Raymie (t • c) 04:40, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect To the school district or high school it feeds into. Middle schools are generally not notable, and this one does not appear to be an exception. Monty  845  06:15, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Monty. Edison (talk) 21:13, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd consider that if it weren't for the fact that the page has a parenthetical (here in commas, oddly enough). While people may search "Santa Maria Middle School", they won't be looking for "Santa Maria Middle School, Arizona". Also consider that there are no wikilinks into the article except for notices generated by the AfD, maintenance items, and notices on user talk pages.

 * Redirects for the many non-notable elementary and middle schools stubs are not necessary and should be deleted. They are textbook cases of non-notable organizations. They generally have little to no proper sources, are very common and localized. redirects add clutter and condone more future non-notable middle and elementary school stubs.

 * Delete per nom. poorly written, non-sourced stub about a non-notable middle school. Bhockey10 (talk) 03:14, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Fowler Elementary School District - already tagged for merging fr three years. Time to do it now. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:07, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The article is new, having been created (by me) when I AfD'd this. Most of my school district articles are very dry stubs. Raymie (t • c) 01:55, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * So what's the point  of wanting  to  delete the very  content you  could use to  populate your stubs? If you  would like help  with  this kind of thing, don't  hesitate to  drop  by  at  WP:WPSCH. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:13, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
