The current status quo evolved from deletionists going on rampages and indiscriminately purging school articles.
And there was I thinking it resulted from militant inclusionists stating as an article of faith that "all schools are inherently notable" and refusing to accept any compromise whatsoever. Shows what I know.
As one of the inclusionists willing to compromise on this issue, I object to that. There were plenty enough people in the middle for a compromise to work. The rhetoric from the extremist-seeming deletionists sunk the various compromise attempts time and time again.
We'd have long-had a standard that if you can't write a good article, you merge it into a city/town/school district article by now if you all hadn't polarized it so much. That compromise came under far more attack from the deletionists than the inclusionists.
