 * Redirect to Bellingham, Washington Bellingham School District per SO, I would boldly close as redirect myself but not too sure on middle schools so I'll leave it be. – Davey 2010 Talk 22:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to existing Bellingham School District article. Redirecting to the city when there is a school district article would be a bit silly. Note WP:OUTCOMES is an essay, not a policy or guideline. It also says articles are typically redirected to school districts in North America. Speaking of guidelines, did the nominator heed WP:BEFORE (part D), since the main concern here is notability? Note I've redirected plenty of middle schools to school districts and usually don't have a problem with that, just making sure we do our due diligence. The fact that the former middle school building used to serve as a now-defunct high school (those are considered notable, even the defunct ones) should at least get a mention in the school district article if redirected, but I would consider the former high school status a weak claim to notability for a stand-alone article. However, since the old building has apparently been razed, alternately, create an article for Whatcom High School and redirect the middle school to the district.

 * Redirect to school district per longstanding consensus at AfD that all but the most exceptional primary schools are presumed non-notable. Carrite (talk) 03:10, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
