Article about an Elementary school with no claim to notability with a non-encyclopedic page. I would have speedied it but I don't think it qualifies. mboverload@ 23:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- did you try a prod? it usually works for these, if one explains to the editors involved. DGG (talk) 00:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I usually redirect these to the school district they are part of, and explain to the author why. That would be my vote I guess, or you could withdraw the nomination and redirect it now. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:58, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I'm in agreement with Beeblebrox; a check at Category:Schools in Hawaii doesn't show that there's an article about schools in Honolulu (city or county). This sort of article isn't consistent with what is kept on Wikipedia. The usual outcome (not a specific policy, but a statement of what happens in practice) is that high schools are inherently notable, but that primary schools have to demonstrate that they are notable beyond being a school. I'm usually in favor of a few days debate on an article that seems to be part of a weeklong class lesson about Wikipedia, but in this case, this appears to be written by a teacher or staffperson. Wikipedia is not the place to create a web page for the school, nor to post a handbook. Suggestion is that if you want to keep this, create an article about the public schools on Oahu and add a link for Kamiloki. Even a paragraph is OK, but please, no mission statements.

- Redirect to List_of_elementary_schools_in_Hawaii#Honolulu as suggested above. No indication that this school is special or remarkable in any way. Lankiveil (speak to me) 04:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]
- Comment On the other hand, if Kamiloiki Elementary School were in New York City, the discussion might look like this. Mandsford (talk) 23:53, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Questioning the relative importance of a primary school is understandable, but not every school is the same. --Jh12 (talk) 14:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
