St. Hilary Elementary School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

K-8 school. Convention with such schools is, as I understand it, to delete and/or redirect. Appears to be non-notable. Created by an SPA. Delete (w/redirect to whatever makes sense would be fine) appears to be in order. Epeefleche (talk) 04:02, 6 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to St. Francis Xavier Secondary School (Mississauga), perhaps with a few lines of content merged in. Carrite (talk) 16:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to school board, Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board. This school lacks non-trivial coverage by reliable sources. • Gene93k (talk) 19:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect (blank, and merge any useful  content) to Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board per nominator's own suggestion. Non   notable schools are generally  not  deleted; instead,  as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to  the article about  the school district (USA) or to  the article about  the locality (rest  of the world). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:47, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the  on  the redirect  page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:47, 7 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep although this may be a minority viewpoint I believe that the deletionists are being foolhardy in their blind opposition to schools articles. Every school office I have been to has dozens of newspaper articles about the school framed on the wall. This clearly meets GNG as they are multiple non-trivial sources. Therefore based on NRVE the only decision should be keep. Some schools are lucky enough to have these sources on google news but many older and in fact more historically notable ones do not and that is a shame. Microfilm is just as important. Based on this experience it should be clear that all schools are notable. Also at the very least this school should be merged into the relevant diocesan article, not deleted outright. This preserves the edit history for when sources are found. It should also be noted that this is part of a mass nomination and that should be frowned upon by the community as it shows there was unlikely a committed effort to find proper sources before nomination. I don't think even a PROD was tried first here. =(LuciferWildCat (talk) 19:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect: not all schools are notable  Purpleback pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  19:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect/Merge to locality or school governing body per longstanding consensus. I'm also expressing concern with the large numbers of school nominations at the moment; it can't be expected that all editors be able to respond to this mass act of deletionist ideology. &tilde;danjel [ talk | contribs ] 00:14, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Deletionist ideology"? Thanks for your good faith. Such schools aren't notable unless they are proven to meet the GNG. As for redirect, there are tons of schools with this name, so choosing one over the other would have to come with a pretty good reason. There isn't anything to merge either--there is nothing of encyclopedic value (that they place a time capsule somewhere?), and nothing is verified with independent sources.
