Smoot Elementary School, WV

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

Although The School Does Get Hits on Google it does not meet WP:N Notability due to the lack of "Uniqueness" Of the School. To Quote WP: SCHOOL "if a school article fails to establish notability, but the school can be confirmed to exist, then the page should be merged and redirected." Since There is No Place for Redirect the Article Should Be Deleted Per AfD. Also The tone of the article is one of a Report not an Encyclopedic Website. CelesJalee (talk) 22:59, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The phrase "or so I hear" sets off alarm bells. The article has an irrelevant anecdote and there's absolutely no sources. Also, only the county it is in is mentioned. For a merge we'd need to know the city the school is in at the very least. Also, no further identifying info about the place. Misses every possible guideline there is. - Mgm|(talk) 23:46, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable nonsense which seems to be more of a rant about the building's condition and a teacher's dress catching on fire than a serious examination of the building and institution.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 10:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete If this spoke of where it was (other than the county), we could redirect it somewhere, but as it's definitely not worthy of keeping, and no likely spot for redirecting exists, this should be deleted. Nyttend (talk) 12:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment Unfortunate given that it's Tucker 150's first effort, but I cannot find any notable coverage. Title isn't quite what I would want for a redirect, but the appropriate target is Greenbrier_County,_West_Virginia in this case. --Jh12 (talk) 08:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it's rewritten with substantial third party sources establishing notability. Michellecrisp (talk) 23:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Re-direct to Greenbrier County, West Virginia where some background of schools in the area can already be found, unless the article is expanded to meet WP:N. Camaron | Chris (talk) 19:50, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
