That's true *even if* we'd react differently to a ton of one-liners mass-imported saying nothing more than "Randolph School is a private school in Huntsville, Alabama, US" and "Indian Springs is a private school in Birmingham, Alabama, US" and on and on and on, ad nauseum."
We are at the stage where people are indeed adding masses of trivial one-line articles about schools, which the school inclusionists immediately describe as a "good stub with potential for organic growth".
To the extent described above the applicable criterion is not notability, but the fact that these are sub-stubs. ALL the information contained in these sub-stubs could be found elsewhere, as in something like [[List of schools in Alabama]]. When the article has so little material it's probably better to have a red link to encourage writing on the subject. Even then, a pre-condition for putting the matter on VfD should be that there has been an attempt to contact the contributor in a good faith attempt to resolve the problem. (Admittedly this would be less possible when the contribution is from an anonymous IP.) Absence of such an effort should be reason enough to remove the item from VfD.
