Mountain Gap Middle School[edit]

non-notable, what may be notable is potentially slanderous Chris 03:30, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While consensus has been that high schools have some measure of inherent notability, the same is not true of middle schools. Even the (unsourced) statements in the article at current, if verified, seem insufficient to distinguish this sufficiently from other middle schools. Serpent's Choice 03:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete School articles that devote most of the article to the floor plan of the building are a reasonable sign of true non-notability.DGG 04:08, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete non-notable school that is even rated worse than other ones. Wooyi^{Talk, Editor review} 05:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Very little encyclopedia info in that article. I would also support Merging as nominated by previous editor. Corpx 16:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overhaul. I'm not entirely sure why this isn't a part of Wikipedia: WikiProject Schools. The article could really use a major overhaul to bring it up to encyclopedic standards, but I wouldn't say that it isn't notable. Aquatics ^{Guard Alert} 22:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to Huntsville, Alabama, pending creation of article for school district. Only some middle schools will have adequate material to demonstrate notability, and a review of the school's website, Google and Google News/Archive has uncovered some additional information, but not enough to establish notability.

Delete, it tries, but I don't see notability.--Wizardman 17:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect per WP:LOCAL. --Myles Long 17:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Note that WP:LOCAL is no longer policy, and is historical more than anything, so I'm not sure what the value is of !votes done solely "per it".--Wizardman 18:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:N and do not merge per WP:A. Also, I have removed the "worst school in Alabama" sentence as poorly sourced and potentially defamatory. The newspaper in question is defunct, and I can't find any other reference to such a poll. Something like that might fly if we had at least an issue date or other corroboration, but I believe it's too dubious to stand on its own. --Butseriouslyfolks 07:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect Georgewilliamherbert 23:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Huntsville, Alabama or whatever the school district is. The school doesn't meet WP:N. I'm unable to find any non-trivial independent reliable sources. I'm unable to find any claims of any notable alumni or succesful teams at the school or anything else that might approximate a claim of notability. We should therefore redirect since none of the information is worth adding to the main article on Huntsville. JoshuaZ 01:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per various bastardized school guidelines. Silensor 00:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
