John F. Kennedy International School

Declining {{db-spam}}. ~~but my vote at this AfD is for speedy deletion as db-spam.~~ Throwing this to you guys because I know there's a lot of support for keeping schools whenever possible. Note that the school is run by the Lovells and the creator's username is VictoriaLovell. Also note this is a small, private primary school. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 23:50, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I am the original speedy tagger. Note, in addition to the nom's concerns, that this school is rather small in terms of number of students (75, according to the article) and only accepts students up to 14 years old. According to numerous precedents, primary and midddle schools are redirected to the school district unless there is something notable about them (such as their building being listed as historical). None of these exceptions seem to apply here. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:40, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the articles for non-notable primary/middle schools do not have a district to be merged into, the best target for the merge is the geographical location of the school. Cunard (talk) 06:51, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - I searched for reliable sources, but all I could find were press release type articles and directory listings. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet notability guidelines. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 05:34, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm happy with the merge and redirect as noted below. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 02:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect to Saanen#John F. Kennedy International School per precedent. I have completed the merge. Cunard (talk) 06:51, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Personally, I'm not convinced that merging it is a good idea. It's boarding school and not a primary or middle school of the district it's located in. -- User:Docu
comment there is another version at JFK International School. -- User:Docu
Delete This almost looks like a speedy for spam. We support keeping schools when there are independent reliable sources that allow for the creation of a neutral article. Chillum 15:21, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect to Saanen#John F. Kennedy International School per precedent. The target page is badly in need of some content so we may as well start here! TerriersFan (talk) 19:28, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, that article could use the content, if we pare it down. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 21:12, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - We have JFK International School, which appears to be about the same institution and written properly. Hence, we can use the latter. Greggers ^{(t • c)} 10:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
