 * Keep - This school has been notable to the community as well as Norfolk County (in one form or another) for 100 years and it's also a Start-class article. GVnayR (talk) 14:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment- make sure to read Notability (local interests); is there significant coverage outside of the local community? tedder (talk) 15:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd add that individual articles about the high schools in Norfolk County (i.e., those that can grant a diploma that would qualify a graduate to enter a university) would probably be kept as inherently notable. Other schools, such as Walsh (which goes to 8th grade), have to demnostrate the type of coverage that Tedder refers to. Mandsford (talk) 16:25, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge into one big article about Norfolk County schools; i've seen a proposal for merging to the Grand Erie District School Board, although that covers three counties. These aren't grouped in one nomination, so a boilerplate answer for this.  This and the nominations that follow appear to have been part of a project of about 50+ articles about Norfolk County, Ontario in Template:Norfolk County, Ontario and even an entire category called Category:Elementary schools in Norfolk County, Ontario.  Needless to say, there is not a right of entitlement for articles about all of the elementary schools in any locality.  If any of these are notable outside the immediate area, then a keep should be considered, but this seems to be unfamiliarity of Wikipedia's general rules of notability.

 * Delete None of the information is independently verified. No reliable INDEPENDENT sources. - Mgm|(talk) 18:06, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - the lack of independent sources speaks against a standalone page but not against a merge. Merged factual, non-contentious content needs reliable sources but not necessarily independent. The distinction is made at WP:NNC. TerriersFan (talk) 00:31, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect to Grand Erie District School Board as is normal practice. TerriersFan (talk) 20:15, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with the school district.o or other appropriate unit., not delete. Inappropriate nomination at odds with our standrd practice  DGG (talk) 09:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
