Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School

The result was Nomination withdrawn.. Indy424242 (talk) 20:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article should be deleted because it has little relevance to anything. The other two middle schools do not have a wikipedia page; why does this one?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Indy424242 (talk • contribs)

Speedy Keep - Ryan, stop it. You know the article is fine, and Jordan has an article here, and Terman here. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 22:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ryanstopit Guess which two school articles will get nominated next... Mandsford (talk) 22:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I just did a big violation of BEANS. :P Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 23:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why Why is this article fine? It skimps on information, including what can be just ripped off from the website, has no interesting info, like notable alumni, which would make it more important. OK, so I was wrong about Jordan and Terman not having pages, but still. This is not relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.80.169.5 (talk) 23:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - see WP:Deletion - bad articles are not deleted, unless they are so bad they are impossible to fix. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 23:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep No reason for deletion given. This article needs work, sure, but I have no reason to believe it's not a notable school. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 23:25, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (no vote). Nomination rationale is thin. Google/Google News seaches show some non-trivial WP:RS coverage, but this school needs more. • Gene93k (talk) 00:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to the district article. Elementary and middle schools are typically merged and redirected unless they show notability by themselves, and I don't see anything that makes this middle school different. Nyttend (talk) 00:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep No reason based on our criteria for deletion is given. KTC (talk) 00:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Palo Alto Unified School District. Nyttend has the right of it; middle schools should be merged unless they show some sort of notability on their own. Darkspots (talk) 01:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as above, no evidence of independent notability _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 02:28, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as stated above. Elluminate (talk) 02:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect I have nothing to add to what Darkspots and TC said. Enigma ^message 03:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep by default; no valid deletion argument has been asserted. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 03:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - a proposal to redirect to Palo Alto Unified School District has been made, but most people are agreeing to speedy keep per your argument. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 03:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And keep in mind this entire nomination was vandalism. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 03:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Five editors thinking it should redirect to the school district article undercuts your assertion that the consensus is to keep the article in its present form. I noticed you were a student at this school. Please take a look at WP:COI. Darkspots (talk) 17:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know WP:COI pretty well - as you can see, my edits to that page aren't promoting anyone's interests. As a double, I'm not even adding anything unreferenced to that page anymore. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 00:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete or merge according to Wikipedia's notablility page, only having 1 independent source is criteria for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.171.212 (talk) 03:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The above is a little suspicious, it's this IP's first ever edit - I suspect it's Ryan (Indy424242). And it does have more than 1 independent source, and it's not a criteria for deletion-although it should be fixed.03:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Keep by default. Out of process nomination with no deletion rationale given. This is essentially "Delete it because I don't like it." Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 10:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
