Non notable middle school, except for existing. I would have CSD'd or PROD'ed but they likely would have been contested by the author, since they removed an invalid db- tag. Author was told prior to starting article about notability. See [1]. MECU≈talk 19:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although I try to be open to school articles that are new, I have to admit that Ttttrrrreeeeyyyyyy has convinced me in the deletion discussion for East Middle School that I should probably revise upward my standards, so I favor deletion, at least for this school. I'm just going to withdraw from this one. Noroton 00:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC) (edit with crossed out words and new comment Noroton 21:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC) )[reply]
The article does demonstrate a commendable lack of snobbery , including the janitor as well as the teachers. But as for the school, it just isn't notable. I admit that some middle schools might be.
Delete on this one, though. DGG 08:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Did you ever have an article you created up for deletion? It's so much fun when they joke about it. Especially when you're new.Noroton 20:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment Just to show I'm fair, I looked at the other articles mentioned. They are high schools, not middle schools, they almost of them have a significant number of prominent alumni, significant athletic accomplishments, and interesting events in their history--and the articles were very well written. I have a few doubts about 2 of the articles, but I would !vote to keep them all. Allentown seems blessed with good high schools. There are differences between different schools, and if we are going to discuss this intelligently we should pay attention to each individual article. DGG 08:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Walnut Creek Middle School in Michigan is not notable.-Ttttrrrreeeeyyyyyy 21:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Stewart Middle School (Norristown, Pennsylvania) not notableTtttrrrreeeeyyyyyy 21:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The argument that other articles exist that are similar in nature (in this case, a middle school) is not a reason for keeping this article. Just because one university professor is notable and deserves an article doesn't mean all university professors do. If you feel these other articles you are mentioning aren't notable, then nominate them for deletion as well. It is every editor's charge to cleanup and improve Wikipedia. But please, don't do it with the reason "this middle school article got deleted so this one should too." --MECU≈talk 23:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:N. There is no consensus at Wikipedia that even high schools are or are not inherently notable, as evidenced by the fact that high school AfDs are closed as "no consensus", "keep" or "delete" on a case by case basis. I think we can all agree that middle schools are generally less notable than high schools. Unless and until somebody properly demonstrates that this particular school is notable, this article should be deleted. --Butseriouslyfolks 00:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'd call it "notable" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Noroton (talk • contribs) 05:36, March 25, 2007 (UTC).

  • Delete. That a notable person attended a particular middle school does not per se make the school notable. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 16:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've added to the article. The S.E.W.E.R group received some coverage, particularly from the local newspaper (which doesn't allow free access to its old stories) but from organizations even outside Pennsylvania. Those who have already !voted might want to review the article again. I put the new section up high, but it can be moved. Noroton 19:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This school has been very active in the community. I have added more info. IT IS NOTABLE. more notable than some high schools...Ttttrrrreeeeyyyyyy 22:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I would suggest removing the following sections: Typical Schedule (completely pointless), Facuily and Staff (Wikipedia is not a directory), and About the School (at least make it sound more relevant ie.get rid of info about lockers, windows, "designed as a middle school") Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 21:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done --Ttttrrrreeeeyyyyyy 00:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
