The result was redirect to Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board#Elementary schools. There is a clear consensus, that a separate article for this school isn't warranted. (non-admin closure) Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 11:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

K-6 school. Convention with such schools is, as I understand it, to delete and/or redirect. Appears to be non-notable. May also contain copyvio from the school's website. Delete (w/redirect to whatever makes sense would be fine) appears to be in order. Epeefleche (talk) 03:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as non-notable elementary school. For the record, this one is Preschool to 5th grade, not even K-6. Very spammy tone to the page as well. Carrite (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect (blank, and merge any useful content) to Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board#Elementary schools per nominator's own suggestion. Non notable schools are generally not deleted; instead, as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to the article about the school district (USA) or to the article about the locality (rest of the world). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the {{R from school}} on the redirect page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep although this may be a minority viewpoint I believe that the deletionists are being foolhardy in their blind opposition to schools articles. Every school office I have been to has dozens of newspaper articles about the school framed on the wall. This clearly meets GNG as they are multiple non-trivial sources. Therefore based on NRVE the only decision should be keep. Some schools are lucky enough to have these sources on google news but many older and in fact more historically notable ones do not and that is a shame. Microfilm is just as important. Based on this experience it should be clear that all schools are notable. Also at the very least this school should be merged into the relevant diocesan article, not deleted outright. This preserves the edit history for when sources are found. It should also be noted that this is part of a mass nomination and that should be frowned upon by the community as it shows there was unlikely a committed effort to find proper sources before nomination. I don't think even a PROD was tried first here. =(LuciferWildCat (talk) 19:09, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Just redirect this already: to Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board#Elementary schools. Spamilicious, violates precedent that schools ain't notable Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 19:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There are lots of detailed facts about this school at this Dept of Education resource. We have dozens of articles about schools in Kentucky and it would be an improper bias to omit this one. Warden (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect/Merge to locality or school governing body per longstanding consensus. I'm also expressing concern with the large numbers of school nominations at the moment; it can't be expected that all editors be able to respond to this mass act of deletionist ideology. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 00:18, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete though I could live with a redirect--I don't have as much faith in Kudpung's reference as a precedent as they do. As for the "merge" suggestion, well, there isn't anything worth merging here. (It would require encyclopedic, verified content, and things of that nature.)
