I'd like to add something about when and whether being named after helps with notability. People (things) that have streets named after them, species named after them, topographical landmarks, that are patrons of schools or other institutions... do we have any common outcomes here?

Can we add a note that embassies are not inherently auto-notable? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:59, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
There was a discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump/policy#School districts and GEOLAND that was kind of kickstarted by me being confused about what's said here about school districts being within the purview of GEOLAND. I figured I'd link it here for future reference if anyone thinks it's useful. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:45, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
I think that it's pretty clear cut that that they have been found to not be inherently notable. I think that my quibble with the OP is with the wording which makes it sound like we are setting the guideline here rather than observing the AFD results. With a simple change to "have not been found to be inherently notable" I would support it. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 18:35, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
The current wording is out of place here and has problems. This really isn't the place to state interpretations (or in this case mis-interpretations) of guidelines. It's a place to summarize common outcomes. But I do agree with the end result of the current wording and that it probably summarizes actual outcomes. NEAR presumptive notability. I don't agree that geoland or geoland alone gives it this status. A school district (although I can only speak for the USA) is many things at once....a set of lines on a map, a large governmental organization and a set of many facilities/schools. It's also (as the old RFC advises) a good place to have sections covering individual schools particularly when they don't have a separate article. North8000 (
