Osseo Junior High School

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

Per prior consensus pre-secondary schools are usually not notable unless they stand out somehow academically, this school lacks substantial coverage outside of Primary Sources and has no notability except for being ranked slightly above average for middle schools in the state of Minnesota.

Redirect to school district, per standard practice for non-notable primary schools. Carrite (talk) 00:11, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The school won an award as the outstanding junior high school in Minnesota. Also, the district has too many schools to accommodate unwieldy sections for each of them. The solution of redirecting to the district page should only be carried out for small districts with a handful of schools.Bellczar (talk) 01:00, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And what award might that be, show me some evidence that this is notable. -Marcusmax(speak) 20:50, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be an option to include it as a subhead in the article for Osseo High School? The two schools started as one and they share a campus including athletic facilities (e.g., the swimming pool is at the jr high; tennis courts etc. are between the schools; they share a track and ice arena; sr high football field uses jr high locker rooms) and central heating plant.Bellczar (talk) 16:17, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to school district, per standard practice for non-notable primary schools. School district pages do not need more than a simple listing of the school. Should the school assert notability at a later date, the redirect can be simply undone. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:35, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
redirect as usual. Awards can show notability , but there are no sources for any DGG ( talk ) 00:46, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect (without a merge of information, just a simple redirect) The claim of an award is unimpressive as well as unsourced. Supposedly "The building won an award as the outstanding new school in Minnesota of 1966." The outstanding NEW school in Minnesota? How much competition can there be for that distinction in any given year? --MelanieN (talk) 00:18, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
