How about you ignore the article?
Tried that. They ended up full of vandalism, copyvios (copying from school website and nicking pictures) and falsehoods.
geni,
This is not unique to school articles. In your experience, is it disproportionate?
We have no useful data to say.
I have been watching the schools that have appeared on Afd, and most have been stubs. Sometimes it was obvious that students have made an honest attempt to expand the article with rather uninteresting drivel that is not supported by reliable sources, and frequently editors try to clean this up during the Afd. But in my limited experience, those problems occur in spades in other areas.
A difference is that most areas where we pick up large numbers of slightly notable article we have people prepared to look after them (although not in all cases). The problem with schools is that there doesn't appear to be any group really committed to looking after them.
