Apparently non-notable middle school, lacking reliable sources to establish notability by WP:GNG or WP:SCH.
Prod removed by creator, with statement "Removed prod template; we don't need this anymore really; this article really doesn't need citatations yet; english" tedder (talk) 09:18, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete No references, I've looked this school up on the net and there is nothing notable about it. Harlem675 10:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as admin who prod-tagged this article "no assertion of notability" because it does not meet WP:GNG. In line with usual practice for non-notable middle schools, should be merged/re-directed to Cobb County School District. JGHowes talk 13:30, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- JGH, why did you prod tag it instead or merging it or putting a merge tag on it? DGG (talk) 00:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Because, in my experience, a merge tag on a single author, orphaned article such as this is likely to languish interminably. Typically, the creator will oppose the merge and it's a standoff. A prod, on the other hand, has the advantage of a specific deadline for action and it gets a third set of eyes involved, as opposed to unilateral action. JGHowes talk 16:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete and there is no content worth merging. I'm normally fond of keeping school articles, but not this one. I don't like it. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
