Fairview Elementary School

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

all redlinks, for inherently nonnotable subjects (elementary schools), with the one blue link being a redirect already to the school district. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per WP:DAB, the page should link directly to the school districts. Elementary schools themselves are not notable, but they are redirected to the district pages. Since many districts have a Fairview Elementary, it is a viable DAB page. Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:09, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This serves a valid navigational function, as users coming to WP are going to know a school name, not a district name. I started playing with this, saw there are 128 "Fairview Elementary Schools" listed on CLASSMATES.COM, and said: "This is somebody else's battle." This is fixable by the normal editing process and not reason for deletion, but make no mistake — disambiguation pages for common school names are going to be massive and time-consuming projects to build exhaustively.
