I am also nominating the following related pages because it is simply a copy of the above page because the author didn't know how to use redirects:


 * Weak keep it appears that schools (particularly north American ones) seem exempt from proof of notability other than that they exist. WP:SCHOOL is going some way to help, but since there are dozens of Indiana school stubs without AFDs, I'm not sure if this is any different.  I know we shouldn't use the this should stay because of all the others approach.  But then again I'd be interested to know if there are any more concrete guidelines on this...

 * I've noticed that the notability guidelines for schools (it's only proposed, and this is more of my idea:) High schools and jr. highs are usually eligible, and others if of importance, but this is simply a very non-notable, lowly, elementary school with little encyclopedic importance.

 * Delete Non-notable. I do not accept the argument that schools are exempt from notability requirements. Soltak | Talk 23:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. An elementary school has to be more relevant than stated in order to be notable. Its existence as a school is not enough. YechielMan 04:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Right, there is no such policy. WP:Schools says  This proposal was rejected by the community.  It has not gained consensus and seems unlikely to do so.  (It's not even "proposed"--it was proposed and has been rejected. Therefore schools must be judged individually according to the standards of WP:N.  Even the WikiProject:Schools page says "Wikipedia:Schools - a failed, now historical discussion of school articles on Wikipedia"
 * delete In this case there is nothing to show notability.DGG 04:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable duplication of information already available on the School Corporation website (which indicates there are six Elementary Schools in the Corporation, while the article gives me the impression this is the only one). On an unrelated note, the statistics for the school displayed by the Indiana Department of Education (on their website) in a quick and easy to read manner leave the neighboring Illinois State Board of Education website and its School Report Card PDF files to shame. --JohnDBuell 09:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
