Thomas R. Grover Middle School

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Does not assert notability and reads like an advertisement for the school's curriculum. Tomj 00:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No assertion of notability. WP:NOT the school's webpage. Keep per notability assertions recently added. --Fang Aili talk 00:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District. The district article exists, the article in question makes no current claim of notability, and there is no legitimate reason not to change this to a redirect. If, at some point down the road, there is additional information available to demonstrate notability, the article could be changed from a redirect to a standalone article. Alansohn 00:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Keep Based on changes made to article and sources added, the article satisfies the notability standard. Alansohn 13:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support the redirect Tomj 01:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support the redirect also. --Fang Aili talk 02:41, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Changed to keep above.


 * Keep I think parts of the article that sound a bit like an advertisement can easily be improved. The article has too much encyclopedic information about the subject, and that information would be lost in a merge. This is one of the better middle school articles that I've seen.

 * Delete There's nothing in the article that hints at Wikipedia notability. Just another garden-variety school. A recitation of facts does not an encyclopedia make. Do they send more students to Harvard than any other such school? Is the school built on top of a diamond mine? What makes it notable among middle schools? MarkBul 02:17, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Notability Actually, they may well send more students to a place like Harvard than any other school. Students from the school win national and state brainpower competitions quite often. See the "Awards and recognition" section that I just added. Keep in mind that it's in Princeton, so some of these kids may be well-endowed in the brainpower dept.

 * Keep. It's as notable as any middle school can be and far more solid of an article than most.  Can't see a reason to split hairs.  Deleting the sort of article would harm Wikipedia's encyclopedic mission. Wikidemo 03:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment So all schools are above average? MarkBul 04:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve the references for each paragraph. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:24, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. It meets the notability guidelines on Wikipedia, and even if it is "just another school", it should still be recognized as an article.styrofoam1994 22:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep About 85-90% I would vote a middle school for the waste basket, but the notability is asserted there.--JForget 00:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per styro. Twenty Years 08:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - plenty of well-sourced notability. TerriersFan 01:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as the article now meets our guidelines for notability. Yamaguchi先生 00:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
