player on a sports team gives one notability. Yet I have refrained from tagging these articles for deletion. My interest is local institutions, such as schools and politicians. And I know that I am not alone because my articles have plenty of logs noting additions. If these articles come under attack, then I only think it's fair to launch of blitz to help rid Knowledge of its "unnotable" sports figures, such as footballers and basketball players. I am not saying this as a threat, but merely to make a point. Is the scope of notability limited to some tragic event, the location of a movie, or to some higher global significance? Many editors seem to feel it their duty to rid Knowledge of local content, which is where I find fault.

it--most elementary school articles as usually written do not show it. The factors affecting notability for schools are often (unofficially) considered to be notable alumni, notable awards in academics or athletics, involvement in public events, historical significance of the school or the building, or other information making them of some interest outside the immediate community.

There is no presumption either that secondary schools or notable, or that primary schools are not. There has been no consensus about general policy here, and so they each go upon their own merits. many high schools articles in WP either show notability or material can readily be found that will show

I did some research to find any significance to the school. I found that in 2006, a teacher at Linton Springs was 1 of 2 in the county removed for violating a state policy of copying states exam, distributing the information, and teaching the answers ahead of the exam. This story made the news on

This is probably a good elementary school. However, there is no level of notability that would justify an article. We should not lose sight of the fact that these articles are a type of vanity piece and, unless they are doing something notable that other schools are not doing generally, they do not

I disagree with the view that primary schools have no significance or notability. Knowledge allows for articles on small towns and these schools represent these towns. In fact, there are hundreds of articles in Knowledge documenting elementary schools. Moreover, this article is in a template

for them that specify their criteria for notability, and the vast majority meet it. If you don't like policies and guidelines, try to build consensus to change them, but in this case you're likely to have a very hard time doing so.

No indication of notability, and we don't tend to extend the same assumption of notability to primary/elementary schools as we do to secondary/high schools.
