Whiting Lane School
Non-notable elementary school. (Tagged by another editor. Nomination was incomplete, this page was not created.) Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 13:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. "Elementary school exists" + "Has a principal and a mascot" does not = "Significant in the realm of schools". -- Kicking222 14:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, possibly merging with West Hartford, Connecticut, verifiable. JYolkowski // talk 14:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for now, unless secondary references are included which substantiate notability. Addhoc 15:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, or merge into an article about the school district AdamBiswanger1 16:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per AdamBiswanger1. Right now, it is not notable. Th ε Halo Θ 16:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as the article contains no assertion of notability or importance, so to keep it would violate WP:NOT. GRBerry 05:17, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Just curious how you guys are defining notability. Are you using the proposal WP:SCHOOL?  If so, this school does meet the criteria because there are multiple non-trivial works about the school.  Not all are currently cited in the article, but there is  and  (originally published in an architectural journal) as well as some local media coverage.  Furthermore, WP:NOT absolutely does not say that articles need to have any notability or importance to be included.  JYolkowski // talk 20:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per JYolkowski. --Merovingian - Talk 20:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, established and verifiable, thus significant in the realm of schools. Kappa 21:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete nn school. Carlossuarez46 01:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, this content meets all relevant policies. The article provides important and significant information about this school. Christopher Parham (talk) 02:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete High schools may be notable by precident. Elementary schools, not so much. Resolute 03:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep All schools are notable and a good number of elementary schools have been kept. Piccadilly 13:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge a summary onto the West Hartford, Connecticut page, unless there's a matching school district page where it would be a better fit. I believe the proposed WP:SCHOOLS is encouraging merging these types of low-notability school pages, in preference to deletion. &mdash; RJH (talk) 14:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Christopher Parham and Piccadilly. I will refer this to WikiProject Schools. --TheM62Manchester 14:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
