disambig for inherently nonnotable subject (elementary schools), none of which have articles anyway, and most of which dont follow disambig guidelines for inclusion (1 does, so it doesnt need a disambig for that reason as well) Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:20, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Could be viable if it linked to the school districts instead of the schools. Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:07, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Serves a valid navigational function, as casual users are not going to know or be looking for the name of a district and it is up to us to get them where they need to go. I managed to find WP district pages for 3 of the 5 schools listed here. I don't think there is anything up for the Chicago school while the Houston school's district I was unable to find. Still, there's now enough there to give the page utility. Carrite (talk) 16:21, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. None of these schools is ever likely to get an article, and only one is even called Boone Elementary School (see WP:PTM). Clarityfiend (talk) 05:08, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete. Disambiguation pages for articles that will never exist are not useful. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:06, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per MOS:DABMENTION; these schools are mentioned in the blue-linked articles, so that is sufficient to keep them on the disambiguation page. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 09:14, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Disambiguation page that points only to redlinks, and has no incoming links from articles. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:54, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, although less than optimal that there is no existing article with the title, the list entries all satisfy WP:DABRL and there is a blue link for each entry that provides a reader with information about the subject. older ≠ wiser 16:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Unnecessary disambiguation page, since there are no notable elementary schools with the name. Anyone interested in finding the website of a school so named, or info about it, can simply Google "Boone Elementary School" and there are all the sites relevant to them. Edison (talk) 16:31, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Dab pages are not search indices. 1 of the 5 entries has no valid bluelink at all and the other 4 have no significant information at the bluelinks. This page gets in the way of people using the search engine who might want the schools in Missouri or Kentucky or California. Station1 (talk) 20:43, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
