Non-notable middle school -- Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 00:05, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The notability is that the school is trying to create the largest book in the world. Although that would probably be better for the article to be about the book rather than the middle school. Winner 42 ( Talk to me! ) 13:26, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Groton Dunstable Regional School District, a typical outcome of AfDs for middle schools (middle and elementary school articles are rarely kept unless specific notability is shown). The history section of this article would start off the district article nicely.--Milowent (talk) 04:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Milowent. There is no notability, as Wikipedia defines the term, in attempting to do something. There isn't even much inherent notability in doing something. Notability comes from the outside world noticing. Lacking any evidence that this school passes the GNG or meets the standards of WP:V, an article cannot be sustained.

Merge to Groton-Dunstable Regional School District, which I wrote a stub on for the purposes of this. The middle school isn't independently notable any more than the average middle school is (if the book gets any more notable, it can have its own article, but it's not there yet.) The history in the article would be well-suited for the district's article, however, so a merge would be more appropriate than a straight redirect.

Merge/redirect to Groton-Dunstable Regional School District per usual practice. TerriersFan (talk) 00:21, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
