Terrill Middle School

Non-notable, un-referenced, middle school. No real usable context. --trey 14:54, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Total lack of notability. --EMS | Talk 15:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Needs work, but reading it shows that it is not the normal middle school, that is why I say keep it. Could use more sources. Callelinea 15:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Scotch Plains-Fanwood Regional School District. Deor 15:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see any reason to keep this. It looks somewhat better financed than most, but otherwise unremarkable. Brianyoumans 16:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep School and its staff have won multiple awards and has been covered extensively in the press, all of which is documented with reliable and verifiable sources to demonstrate notability. Alansohn 18:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I dont think a teacher winning an award should give a middle school notability. Most of the references in there are absolutely trivial mentions and add no notability to this school. Corpx 20:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are two awards--the other one went to the principal. There are two notable athletes as alumni, and articles discussing their middle school career have been found, showing it started while still at the school. Over the bar. DGG 23:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of the alumni pages mention where they attended middle school. Just because they attended kindergarten somewhere doesnt make that notable either. The principal's award is awarded by the state Assosiation of principals. Neither of these award winners have a page on wikipedia, which futher shows the notability of the award Corpx 18:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It has more than three third-party refs; it documents multiple recent awards & it has two wiki-notable alumni. Frog47 05:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:N as there is nothing notable here. -- But|seriously|folks 05:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Run of the mill middle school, whose claim to notability via successful alum & awards fails to convince, in the former as being germane, in the latter as being particularly unusual. Eusebeus 10:07, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Not notable. --Bill.matthews 12:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - significant school with faculty awards and notable alumni. Anyone coming to Wikipedia looking for this school would be pleased to find this article. TerriersFan 18:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think most notability alumns ever mention their elementary school when disucussing their careers Corpx 18:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Few alums mention a middle (not elementary) school. Both of them did here, which only makes it all the more notable. Alansohn 20:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What mentions are you referring to? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Corpx (talk • contribs).

All of the sources provided demonstrate a definitive connection between the school and the individuals and their athletic career. Alansohn 00:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per Alansohn, TerrierFan and DGG's reasoning. Noroton 21:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
very weak keep due to notable awards, notable press coverage and presence of multiple notable alumni. If not kept, recommend redirecting to the school district. JoshuaZ 16:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep please many reliable sources and notable alumni and other awards too yuckfoo 01:23, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
