Metropolitan School District of Perry Township[edit]

Non-notable. TigerShark 01:08, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • I'd say merge into Perry Township, Marion County, Indiana, but it appears we don't have that one. Did Rambot fail us? Meelar (talk) 01:10, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
    • Looks like it, since Perry Township appears to actually exist. Indianapolis is located within Marion County; maybe this township is a more-or-less obsolete township because of Indianapolis's sizable metro area? I've never been to Indiana, so I've got no clue. android↔talk 04:10, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
      • Townships in Indiana (even in Indianapolis) often form the basis for structuring school districts. Indianapolis has eleven school districts; three of them (Indianapolis Public Schools, Speedway and Beech Grove) are legacy districts from before Unigov; the other eight correspond to (but do not exactly coincide with) eight of the nine townships that comprise Indianapolis. Elsewhere in Indiana, it's quite commonly the case that school districts closely follow township boundaries, although it's far more common in less densely populated areas for one district to contain multiple townships. (There are other township-related functions -- property tax assessment and collection is a township function, as are poor relief, small claims courts, and, in many places, fire protection.)

    • Perry Township, Indiana is redlinked on the Perry Township dab page. Perhaps it should be moved there? Grutness|hello? 07:42, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. School districts I believe are inherently keep-worthy (whereas the schools themselves aren't always) Arkyan 07:56, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a listings directory. Do the districts not have websites with this info? The JPS 11:06, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep despite the usual attempt to stack the vote for this vfd [1], and be sure to merge in any attempts to make useless stubs for the constituent schools. —Korath (Talk) 14:16, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and pray it gets expanded. --Carnildo 20:58, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep A school district has the combined notability of each of its constituent schools. Klonimus 00:00, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. A perfectly valid article subject. --Gene_poole 00:03, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The mergists out there should appreciate that this is an article about an entire school district, not just one school. Ostensibly, this would save us 4 or 5 VfDs down the road when the constituent schools would without a doubt be nominated. --BaronLarf 22:12, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand -CunningLinguist 02:05, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep There is a place for school districts on Wikipedia :o). --ShaunMacPherson 03:43, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • keep this school district please for reasons by baronlarf Yuckfoo 06:27, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Baronlarf, despite not being Romanian, has a good point. NazismIsntCool 00:07, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article as it stands is a worthless list that should probably be deleted on its face, but school district articles themselves are a good idea provided that information on individual schools is placed in such articles rather than on independent pages. Indrian 05:08, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and allow for organic growth since this passes the Pokemon comparative notability test.  ALKIVAR™ 09:44, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Extreme keep. For crying out loud. —RaD Man (talk) 10:17, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep until there is something to merge it into. Noisy | Talk 11:50, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep What's wrong with school district's? We should really be watching for real nonsense like...you know what I mean. Let the school districts shine!!! What's more, it's first Wikipedia article ever made (I think?) Pufferfish101 04:19, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is merely a link-farm, although without the links. Basically I could find similar in the local phonebook. Master Thief Garrett 01:29, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I wish they had a page on the middle school. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tirerotation (talk • contribs) 22:57, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
