The result was delete, there is no content in the article, except a restating of the title and an external link. I don't see the point in a redirect, since anyone who can type that title in the search bar knows everything about the school that the suggested target article would tell them. - Bobet 21:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

West Elementary School (New Canaan, CT)
non-notable elementary school. I can see keeping high schools, but not elementary ones. Akradecki 19:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

There is a wikipedia category section devoted to elementary schools, many have state by state categories. Should all of them be deleted?
 * yes, but they are not the subject of the is particular AfD. Indrian 19:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete: NN-school, and not enough information. --Slgr @ ndson (page - messages - contribs) 19:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable. TomTheHand 19:17, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

"The school article is part of a series of similarly-maintained articles related to a specific school board or school district." from NN-school
 * Keep, verifiable. Actually, a merge to New Canaan, Connecticut would be better.  Note that Notability (schools) says nothing about deleting articles that don't meet its criteria; rather, they should generally be merged (see Places of local interest).

 * The school is already mentioned on that page. There is nothing else here except an external link. &mdash; RJH (talk) 14:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable. Unlike high schools which I regard as notable, elementary schools need to assert notability which this one doesn't. Having said that, all these elementary school AfDs end as 'no concensus' so I wonder why I am bothering typing this ... BlueValour 23:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable and verifiable. No reason has been given to single it out for deletion. Piccadilly 23:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If this is correct, please add to the article describing what is notable about it, and include the references where that notability can be verified. Please remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a directory of the world's schools. Akradecki 00:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NN only exceptional (by the faculty or illustrious alumni) or historically important secondary schools should be listed. If notable as part of the community, then merge wiuth community. Ohconfucius 03:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not even meet the weak guideines for schools that did not get consensus.  Would not pas the new guidelines being discusssed.  Vegaswikian 17:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to New Canaan, Connecticut unless significantly expanded (same with East Elementary School). Yamaguchi先生 08:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
