Deletion of Crocker Highlands Elementary School (2nd nomination)

Comment: Except for ,  amounts to , from which we have this passage: ''"Non-commercial organizations whose activities are local in scope (e.g., a school ...) may be notable if there is substantial RS outside the organization's local area. Where coverage is only local in scope, the organization may be included as a section in an article on the organization's local area instead."''  Even the most prominent event in this school's history -- a shooting incident in early 2008-- was reported only in neighboring counties besides its own (e.g., Contra Costa, San Francisco) in the same metropolitan area

Comment: That is a specious argument for speedily keeping this article. The nomination said it had "no indication of notability,"  beyond run of the mill local and routine coverage. Lack of notability is the basis for most deletions in AFDs. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes# Education says "Most elementary and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability are now getting merged or redirected in AfD, with high schools being kept except where they fail |verifiability. Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district that operates them (North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia." That is consistent with the nomination. Also, the target article for redirect,Oakland Unified School District, can be edited if problems are found. It seems far superior to the average article about a school district

Comment: and merge if possible. Our established practice is that  primary  schools are not  generally  notable apart from exceptional  circumstances, and that  we offer the compromise of salvaging what  we can and merging  and redirecting. A well written article, however much written in  GF, does not  make its subject  notable. To make an exception would risk creating  a precedent for  arguments. I've started a clean up of the school district page for use s a possible destination  for a merge, otherwise the page can be simply  redirected to  the existing  list  of schools
