Saratoga Elementary School (North Omaha, Nebraska)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A defunct elementary school. All references in the article are dead but summarizes the history. Being "one of the first public schools in the state of Nebraska" isn't a sufficient claim of notability; the building has been replaced multiple times so it isn't a notable architectural landmark either. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 00:05, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Giving a little more time to see if GNG compliant sourcing can be found given the claims of significance made by some keep !voters.
 * Keep From what I can tell, this defunct elementary school has an important role in the development of public education in Nebraska (and specifically Omaha). The article seems to be similar to other articles about elementary schools. LeBron4 (talk) 02:54, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep The links are dead because the article is old. The school was one of the first in a major American city, and the result of a pioneer education system from 150 years ago. It should be kept. Freechild (talk) 05:47, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NSCHOOL says that primary schools need to pass either WP:GNG or WP:ORG. This school appears to pass neither. Other than the single northomahahistory.com reference mentioned above, I'm not seeing any in-depth coverage of this school in any independent sources. Neither am I seeing any independent evidence that this school has any significance beyond potentially being one of the oldest public schools in its town.

 * Delete It takes extremely strong sourcing to justify keeping an article for an elementary school, which is not present here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:00, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: The article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NSCHOOL / (WP:ORGCRIT), lacks WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV that address the subject directly and in-depth. Four of the five sources in the article are from the school or local government, not IS RS for establishing notability. The final source is 404 with no indication it had SIGCOV. The above keep votes have provided no additional sources showing SIGCOV from IS RS. There is no indication or assertion that this meets WP:NBUILD. I'm sure it's a wonderful school, but the article does not have SIGCOV showing notability.  // Timothy ::  talk  00:57, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
