Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manalapan-Englishtown Middle School
Fair question. From your page: "The primary criterion for notability, that applies in all fields, is that an article's subject is notable if it has been the subject of non-trivial published works by multiple separate sources that are independent of that subject itself." I'm looking for them, but the article doesn't list any, and Google is of no help either (lots of hits for the school, which obviously exists, but nothing that fits your primary definition of a non-trivial published work. I have e.g. this NY times articlehttp://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE6DD1230F933A05757C0A963958260&sec=&pagewanted=print, but it mentions nothing special about the Middle School (it confirms existence, of course). The more regional Asbury Park Presshttp://orig.app.com/lifein/story/0,21786,1199354,00.html thinks the schools are excellent (bravo!), but again makes no mention of what makes this school so distinct from other schools that it becomes notable. If someone can convince me by finding other sources that ''do'' establish notability, great: for now, it fails the norm. If you want this expressed in a policy: the claims which make the school different and thus notable (if you are not of the opinion, like some people are, that all schools are per se notable) are not verifiable in the sense of , until some of the editors of the article or some of the people that vote keep canproivde those references. To me, it all looks like some fancy names to give the impression of some unique concept, but basically it is a school like there are thousands of others
