inherently nonnotable subject (elementary schools), 2 are redirects now, 1 has not article (and shouldnt) Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:18, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It's a disambiguation page, and if a school is "not-notable" it becomes a redirect to the school district page. From my understanding it's okay to use disambig pages like these to force people to view information within the school district articles. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:22, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I didnt know about that. I do wonder if its appropriate to have disambigs for redirects where the subject is mentioned only in very brief passing, as most elementary schools are at their school district articles. If others understand this better, and if its established policy, then i will go along with consensus.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:28, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, based on Whisper's comment and my own experience with school articles. Per WP:DAB, the page should link directly to the school district. Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:08, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Valid navigational function. Casual users are going to come here looking for a school name, not a district name, and it is up to us to get them where they need to go. I have installed three proper dab links. I find evidence of the existence of two other Virginia schools which do not seem to be listed on WP district pages. I have linked these to their cities.

• Keep per MOS:DABMENTION; although, WhisperToMe, we are here to help readers find articles, not "force" them to read anything!  :-) R'n'B (call me Russ) 09:16, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
