Beaver Bank Monarch Drive Elementary

Article doesn't assert notability of this school. Nothing on Google indicates that it might be notable. Oli Filth 16:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Come on Oli, the article is less than a day old. Give it a few months (considering it is summer vacation for those that are most familiar with the school) for it to be improved. I added a stub tag. To not give it time to be improved goes against the wiki spirit if you ask me. Postcard Cathy 16:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Cathy, if people around then have evidence of notability, they can make a new article. There seems to be no indication that it is notable, and I'm sure that they author could place one their if they wanted to and it was possible; the idea has been indicated to them. Alternatively, if there's a suitable article to merge it into, that would be fine to my mind, possibly preferable to deletion. SamBC 16:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True, but but most schools have more than 12 or so hours to make their case.Postcard Cathy 21:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Few elementary or primary schools are notable, and I see no particular indication that this one is. if it is, the article can be recreated later with sources and reasons. DES ^(talk) 16:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This school is about as notable as Paris Hilton's little finger. Qworty 18:09, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And you know this because....... Given the amount of time this article has been on and people have been able to add to it, you must be a mind reader.Postcard Cathy 21:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, schools are hardly ever notable and this one is no exception. ♠P M C♠ 21:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I live one town over from Harvard and MIT. I will tell them on Monday. Postcard Cathy 21:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Major universities are very often notable. Elementary schools very rarely are. DES ^(talk) 22:25, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about where PMC is from, but in quite a lot of the english-speaking world 'school' is used only to refer to education up to and including age 18 (ie, 6th form in England, high school in the US), not to refer to colleges and universities. SamBC 22:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PMC is from Vancouver, and here, generally, "school" refers to elementary, middle, and high school, not post-secondary. ♠P M C♠ 07:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete In general--and only in general-- elementary (primary) schools are not notable ,so there is no reason to suppose that sources for notability will be added. This AfD will however run for 4 more days and should not be closed earlier--and if notability can be shown, so much the better. There is no prejudice against re-creation of a better article if it can later be done. DGG (talk) 23:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Elementary school. No notability in article or anywhere else that I can find. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:31, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, both Google and Yahoo suggest that this article fails WP:N categorically. To the people voting for keeping - can you explain me why, in the first place, do we have this article here? Read WP:NOT, please. —Shining Eyes 23:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
