The result was merge to Concordia USD 333. I will redirect with history preserved so anyone can merge what is required to the school district article. Davewild (talk) 19:29, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable middle school. I redirected to the school district, but it was contested. Therefore, here I am recommending that the school is redirected per standard practice for non-notable elementary and middle schools. The premise of notability presented by another editor was that the school is notable because the school district has a middle school and a separate junior high school. In my opinion, this may lend to the notability of the school district, but the school itself, continues to lack notability. Cindamuse (talk) 21:11, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep likely will never be more than a stub, and a redirect could be acceptable if the re-direct would contain the notable information in the original article but the original re-direct did not. Notability arises from the school district having both a "middle" school and "junior high" school, were most (if not perhaps all) other districts/systems in at least the US have either a middle school or a junior high. Students in this district are required to go through both--first through the middle school, then through the junior high.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge into the district, as always for middle schools unless there is something actually special. Even if the assertion is true that the organizational aspect is unique, this in no sense is special enough for encyclopedic notability. I'm glad it's finally been accepted that we can use the relatively simple method of AfD to take care of disputed closes. Otherwise there would be no practical alternative but to delete and rewrite.

  • Delete. Schools below high schools are a pain to maintain cause the kids, on whom you would normally wish to help with editing, spend almost all their time, 90:1 on vandalizing! A lost cause. If we semi-protect the article, no updates at all; but if we don't most of the edits are either vandalization or reversion of them. A total waste of editors time.

    • Response there is no evidence of that happening on this page, and "it might get vandalized" is not a reason to delete an article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
