Whitefish Bay Middle School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced, and tagged as non-notable for almost a year. Per the general consensus that all elementary and middle schools are non-notable, this should be deleted, merged, or redirected  Purpleback pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  05:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to best target per established consensus accurately described by Purplebackpack.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  06:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect- Although the consensus would be more accurately be said to be "Almost exclusively non-notable". Emma E. Booker Elementary School and those which may be added to the category 'Schools on the National Register of Historic Places' (no active elementary or middle schools are currently so categorized) would be the exceptions.

 * Actually, I should have specified none are in the main category. I am not going to sift through the state subcategories. Dru of Id (talk) 08:17, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete That "general consensus" has not been established at the talk page of WP:ORG and does not appear in that guideline. We should follow the guideline unless it is changed. Sources have not been identified to satisfy WP:ORG. Edison (talk) 19:00, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect as usual Edison seems to misperceive the nature of Wikipedia: we make the rules ourselves, and we make the effective rules for deletion by what we do here, and we almost never totally delete a primary or intermediate school, but keep a redirect. . There's no external authority making rules we must follow until the text has been changed. But if we want to be legalistic, the controlling rule is WP:Deletion policy, that deletion is the last resort,  notability guidelines  merely give the details; when in doubt about the detail, we follow the principle. Established practice is not upset by a few people protesting against consensus. If it were, I could argue for whatever I please: our rules contain enough contradictions to provide the basis for the logical principle that a contradiction implies anything and everything  DGG ( talk ) 06:03, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
