Non notable lower school. Was a redirect to the locality. Editor restored prior article on claim that Taylor Swift's attendance there somehow makes this non notable school notable. WP:INHERIT says otherwise. That being said, I think the prior redirect is the best solution and of course would not oppose that per WP:ATD John from Idegon (talk) 04:13, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Pottstown, Pennsylvania as the school is mentioned there in a list. Could also expand that mention with a sentence or two about the school. But clearly no justification for an article on this NN school. MB 14:30, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No attempt was made by nominator to find sources (which are abundant). The connection to Taylor Swift for this 100 year old school is a causality error on the part of the nom. If it is to be redirected, it should be to The Hill School, the nearby private high school from which it arose and where most of its students end up. I feel that private schools should not be redirected to public governmental entities.Abductive (reasoning) 18:03, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Please, Abductive. Enlighten me. Please list any three sources which show notability for this institution. You've edit warred to reinstate this in violation of WP:BURDEN. So, please meet your BURDEN and show us how this is notable. It is on you to show that, not on me or anyone else to prove the contrary. Also, please note this prior to making any more false allegations. John from Idegon (talk) 19:09, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- So, you are saying that it takes at least three sources to save an article from deletion, but only two reverts to be edit warring? (Note also, there was no second revert--I added a source at that time). Abductive (reasoning) 22:48, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added some references. While this is an elementary and middle school, not a high school, it has attracted enough coverage by reliable sources for it to be notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:30, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I was not able to find the "abundant" sources that user Abductive is claiming. There are a few minor sources in the article, but they seem to be local in nature, and do not show the school's notability. Natg 19 (talk) 22:39, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Pottstown, Pennsylvania or Association of Delaware Valley Independent Schools where it is listed - coverage seems run-of-the-mill - schools have to meet WP:ORG and/or WP:GNG per WP:NSCHOOL - lack of "significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources" points to redirect as an alternative to deletion - Epinoia (talk) 01:31, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
