Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Montclaire Elementary School (2nd nomination)
This nomination does not seem to comply with Wikipedia:Deletion policy.  First, there is no Policy that requires "references to '''''extensive,''''' reliable, third-party sources" emphasis added, which is the only rationale offered by the nominator.   and  can not reasonably be expanded to that language as a justification, and lack of consensus about the number and stature of independent sources required to establich the "notability" of a school is one of the issues that keeps a notability guideline for schools from being established.  Second, the Prod previously posted by the nominator stated "Non notable elementary school. If it IS notable, than reliable secondary sources would exist. Please provide those sources before removing this notice. See  for more information."  There are always a multitude of sources for American public schools that meet the standards of  and , which is all that is required to meet —there is no higher standard of notability for schools.  In the San Francisco Bay Area many such sources are available online and can be easily discovered, including State and Federal reports on every public school.  Third, in response to the Prod, the creator of the article, who has joined only the day before, appears to have attempted to comply by adding a link to the Cupertino Union School District's webpage for this school; although that is less than perfect, the website of an independent local government is a perfectly reasonable source of objective information about itself and its operations, as long as the fluff and puffery is avoided.  Fourth, in posting this AfD, the nominator has shown no signs of considering the alternatives provided at —he did not edit it except to add the Prod and AfD templates; he did not propose a merger or move any of the useful information to the District article, which currently provides no information about individual schools except their names; and he did not intitiate any discussion on the article talk page after the creator had edited the page and removed the Prod (discussion with the creator is also advised in , as is merger); Fifth, he did not notify the creator
