No references and non-notable Whenaxis (talk) 11:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep There is no such thing as a non-notable school district. Like a municipality, school district is a special governmental unit with defined boundaries, and it oversees the education of the children within the district, paid for by taxes levied upon the real estate inside the district, along with state and federal monies; none of this is trivial, and such governmental districts are considered inherently notable.  There appear to be two references in the article, the district's website, and the greatschools.net site.  Yes, there could be (and there are) more references, but there's enough to build an article upon. Mandsford (talk) 16:03, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --Acntx (talk) 21:47, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. We generally nominate articles for AFD if we believe there is no potential for an article to become better. Texline ISD is inherently notable and it has the potential to become better. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:55, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The article Texline Independent School District does have 2 references, yes, but if it was a notable article it would be longer than it is now and have more up to date information instead of from 2005. The author(s) have five days to improve the article before this discussion is closed. Whenaxis (talk) 22:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * AFD is not WP:Cleanup, it is to discuss if a Article could have sufficient WP:Notability to remain. As a School District is a governmental unit, I believe that a Keep is in order. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  01:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep or merge either down to the single school or up to the parent body or split and redirect. Rich Farmbrough, 23:15 7 October 2008 (UTC).
 * Right now the single school already redirects to Texline Independent School District. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:19, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Like I said earlier...The author(s) have five days to improve the article before this discussion is closed. Whenaxis (talk) 22:32, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Do not add any more discussions, this discussion will close in 5 days unless the article become more notable and has up to the year information
 * Indeed the discusion will close, almost certainly as keep, whether the article is updated or not.Yobmod (talk) 09:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Seems notable, needs improving (i added some). As school has no article, no need to merge there. Maybe create a redirect from school to district (essential amerge in the other direction, but with no content :-).Yobmod (talk) 09:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Note This article needs some more improving and updates to the Student Body section. Whenaxis (talk) 11:25, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestions. Mandsford (talk) 15:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
