No reason is given for topics notability. It is just an ordinary middle school. WP:NN. Student7 (talk) 00:19, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Our established practice of almost always keeping high school articles as if they were notable, in order to avoid thousands of contentious AfDs has a flip side: almost always deleting middle school articles. It was intended as a compromise. If the compromise should break down , then it will be time to try to find sources for articles like this. Based on experience from before we had the compromise, I could probably do it about 1/4 of the time--possibly 1/2 tyhe time in NYC. But I think it better to concentrate efforts elsewhere DGG ( talk ) 11:06, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete to keep an article on a middle school we need to show the institution actually meets notability guidelines, that is not shown here. Otherwise we would need an article on Robert Burns Elementary Middle School in Detroit where I teach. We have actually had news footage from our school shown in Detroit Area news reports this year.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:03, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/Merge I was going to suggest this be redirected to Bovoni, U.S. Virgin Islands. We've been redirecting articles on middle schools to school districts or localities since almost the beginning of the encyclopedia. While some call that circular reasoning, it is done because it works. But when I clicked on find sources, I was surprised to find 83 news stories and a lot of other info. Much of this is routine coverage, but some of it is not, including the fact that the basketball team won an international competition.[1] I actually think this school could pass WP:gng, but still believe we would be best served by merging it with the locality (which at this point is a very bare stub).Jacona (talk) 15:29, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
