Deletion of Whatcom Middle School

Comment: to existing Bellingham School District article. Redirecting to the city when there is a school district article would be a bit silly. Note  is an essay, not a policy or guideline. It also says articles are typically redirected to school districts in North America. Speaking of guidelines, did the nominator heed  (part D), since the main concern here is notability? Note I've redirected plenty of middle schools to school districts and usually don't have a problem with that, just making sure we do our due diligence. The fact that the former middle school building used to serve as a now-defunct high school (those are considered notable, even the defunct ones) should at least get a mention in the school district article if redirected, but I would consider the former high school status a weak claim to notability for a stand-alone article. However, since the old building has apparently been razed, alternately, create an article for Whatcom High School and redirect the middle school to the district
