The result was   redirect to Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles. There is a clear consensus, that a separate article for this schooll isn't warranted. (non-admin closure) Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 11:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

St. Joseph's School (La Puente, California)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Usual rationale...K-8 school without a strong notability. Non-controversial, really. Could be merged to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles  Purpleback pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  17:07, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect. Per what I understand is our convention with K-8 schools.  Perhaps we can SNOW this?--Epeefleche (talk) 20:05, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep I have yet to walk into a school's office and not see at least a dozen framed newspaper articles that cover the school in depth. Those clearly meet the GNG and should be considered as per NRVE. Therefore it can only be assumed that all schools are notable.LuciferWildCat (talk) 21:10, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet WP:GNG or current school guidelines no point in redirect. Edinburgh  Wanderer  22:29, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles per usual practice. Luciferwildcat, please do not keep repeating this non-consensus-based claim of yours that all schools are notable. And please see my comments here. --MelanieN (talk) 01:03, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * @Lucifer -- what Melanie said.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles per standard practice for non-notable elementary schools. Carrite (talk) 03:47, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect (blank, and merge any useful  content)  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) 14:58, 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) 14:58, 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) 18:57, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * This is your second vote in this discussion, plz strike out one of them  Purpleback pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  19:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Lucifer, I am striking out the word "keep" from in front of your comment. Anyone is welcome to comment more than once in a discussion (although please see my comments here, which apply to both times you made this identical argument in this discussion), but you can only !vote once. Again, that's the problem with cut-and-pasting the same comment into multiple discussions; you may include a "keep" or "diocesan" where it is not appropriate. --MelanieN (talk) 19:57, 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 ] 00:23, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
