Altho there are many references on the article, most all point to articles on students at the school. None are particularly
WP:RS. There are no stated claims to any significant thing the school itself did, not that even such a claim would indicate notability. The only source that showed any potential was the highbeam article, but it is gone. Even if it wasn't, it is categorized in the reference as short. Without being able to see it, it sure doesn't show notability on its own. A Google news search turned 0 hits. Fails gng, school guidelines qualifications for notability and common outcomes. A redirect to the school district would be acceptable preferred. Would have boldly done so, but one was reverted previously.

- Magnolia677 - redirect and delete are two separate outcomes. Please clarify. John from Idegon ( talk) 07:07, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- "Delete and redirect" is an option in egregious cases where the content must be deleted but the title is still a plausible search term. This does not appear to be one of those cases. A selective merge at editors' discretion and redirect to school district may be more appropriate if this school is not notable. • Gene93k ( talk) 21:18, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

- Keep - I think it's notable, its a well known school and has a strong New Jersey school report card rating (meaning its a top school in New Jersey that has made major contributions to the State). I am from the area so I may be a bit biased but that is my opinion. I am a little strapped for time at the moment but I will add a few sources to prove its notability later on. Of course I have no intention of impeding the growth of Wikipedia if redirecting the article is for the good of Wikipedia then so be it but it's my personal opinion that it should be kept as its own separate article. Have a pleasant day :). -- Sanjev Rajaram ( talk) 17:18, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- The article needs independent reliable sources to establish that notability. The article's current references are primary sources and press releases. • Gene93k ( talk) 21:25, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- What types of sources would qualify in that category so that I may try to search and see if there are any that fit the criteria. -- Sanjev Rajaram ( talk) 20:19, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect to school district article as is the long-standing tradition for middle school articles established over hundreds of AfD's and expressed at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Jacona ( talk) 22:21, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect to West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District per long-standing precedent stated at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, As an aside I would've redirected myself but I know for a fact I'd get reverted so too save all that crap I'll just !vote!. – Davey2010 Talk 00:07, 14 September 2015 (UTC). – Davey2010 Talk 00:07, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect as above. Selective merging of a small amount of information after the redirect would be okay with me. Kharkiv07 ( T) 16:12, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
