Non-notable elementary school. Bitmapped (talk) 01:13, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete elementary schools rarely meet notability guidelines and this one doesn't seem to be any different. RadioFan (talk) 01:24, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article creator is relatively new here, and wouldn't necessarily be aware of the debates over the years on how to deal with schools. There's no set policy on school notability, but WP:OUTCOMES#Education is the statement of how it is. Generally, high school articles (including Grand Valley High School (Orwell, Ohio)) are kept, and articles about middle schools and elementary schools are merged to an article about the district, if there is one. It's kind of the consensus that's been reached here in AfD; I think some of the folks who believe in committees tried to hammer out a policy and they didn't reach an agreement, which is just as well. I understand that the Grand Valley Local Schools is the district, so perhaps the solution is to incorporate the information to the elementary and middle schools in the article about the high school. I live in a town where the school district is the same way, overseeing an elementary, middle and high school. You could do an article about the district, but since the Grand Valley students move on to GVHS, it makes sense to merge the info there. Mandsford 01:42, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment regardless of history, the creator's experience level or any WP:OTHERSTUFF, all articles must meet WP:GNG and this one doesn't and I'm not seeing that changing.--RadioFan (talk) 04:18, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge should be merged to one of the targets mentioned here and above.--Cube lurker (talk) 13:51, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Grand Valley High School (Orwell, Ohio), same proposal for the middle school. Mandsford 18:35, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect as per our standard procedure for primary and middle schools.--Kudpung (talk) 00:39, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Orwell, Ohio#Public School. Merging it to the high school would be unusual; we usually merge to the locality or school district. --MelanieN (talk) 01:19, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
