High schools stay, elementary schools go. Right? Take away the name and address and you're left with a gushing description of nearly every grade school in North America. - Lucky 6.9 17:40, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • Oh yes, I concur, I had been a bit of a twit and presumed it was secondary despite its title. delete Dunc_Harris| 17:42, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • That's for sure... Delete Ilyanep (Talk) 17:45, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: It's also not a unique search term. How many Meriwether Lewis schools are there in the US? At least this name wouldn't be so common in the UK, Aus., NZ, and India, but still. Geogre 17:47, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • This appears to be a copyvio from [1]—or is that kind of stuff in the public domain? No vote. Lady Lysine Ikinsile | Talk 22:17, 2004 Jun 26 (UTC)
  • I would say keep ordinarily, but that this was just copied and pasted from the school website and may be a copyvio doesn't make me feel generous. Delete unless rewritten soon. Everyking 00:55, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, probable copyvio, not otherwise notable. -- Cyrius| 06:21, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Cleanup & expand or Delete. BTW see Talk:Meriwether Lewis Elementary School -- User:Docu
  • Delete: not notable. BTW doesn't appear to be a copyvio as author has claimed ownership of text at lewiselementary.org. Wile E. Heresiarch 16:20, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Wrong. Keep. anthony (see warning)
  • Delete. Schools have websites for a reason. The content is not needed in an encyclopedia. Isomorphic 08:41, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. --Gary D 08:55, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. In addition to good reasons noted by others, the language is so promotional as to verge on advertising. Dpbsmith 18:59, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
