Tamanend Middle School

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

Article is full of patent nonsense and reads like a hoax. I looked through almost all of the versions and there never has been a real, bona fide, Wiki-style article. The school is a real school and appears in a list as part of this school district. No sources, no encyclopedic information, mostly jr. high level OR. Renee (talk) 03:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete because it is non-notable and fails all criteria in Notability (schools). Mysdaao talk 20:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Central Bucks School District as is the norm for most middle schools. --Dhartung | Talk 00:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

This article in a primary source itself becuase it has been created by students of Tamanend Middle School. I can ensure you these facts are entirely true and appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realdog44 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but that doesn't hold water. An article cannot establish its own notability; reliable third-party sources are needed.  Even if this article is notable, it would have to be heavily edited to remove the unencyclopaedic nonsense. -- Korax1214 (talk) 15:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per above. -- Korax1214 (talk) 15:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. The fact that someone has removed the AfD tag from this article (since reinstated by me Msdaao(sp?)) to my mind doesn't augur well for it; if it's so notable, why is it necessary to (attempt to) suppress the deletion debate? -- Korax1214 (talk) 15:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)  (edited because of edit collision)


 * Redirect to Central Bucks School District. As Dhartung notes, middle schools are not inherently notable unless they have some special distinction, e.g., designated as a Blue Ribbon school per other middle school AFDs recently. Not only does this article fail to assert any notability, its only purpose seems to be a WP:SOAPBOX.  JGHowes talk  -  03:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect/Merge to Central Bucks School District unless some verifiable sources can be found to establish notability (Best I could get out of Google News was that the school was mentioned as receiving funding for renovations. Additional Comment - I have removed the patent nonsense from the article - and flagged the not so patent nonsense as requiring citations, in the slim case that the article is sufficiently improved to establish notability prior to close of debate -- Ratarsed (talk) 12:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
