*Redirect to school district, Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools#Elementary schools. This school lacks non-trivial coverage by reliable sources. • Gene93k (talk) 02:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Striking vote now that the article has been rewritten. • Gene93k (talk) 12:17, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

* Redirect per gene93k and long established convetion. RadioFan (talk) 03:49, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• • Keep This is a very different article now and easily meets WP:BIO. As I'm the last participant in this AFD to change my !vote to keep, I'm going to be WP:BOLD and close this AFD.--RadioFan (talk) 15:11, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Redirect per standard procedure as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures for non notable primary schools, and Category:Redirects from school articles. Blank and redirect to Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools where it is already mentioned. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:36, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (changing my vote per Cinamuse below) as a biography about a notable person. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:23, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect' please remember to add the ((R from school)) template to the redirect page. It populates an important category. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:36, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I've taken the alternative route to address issues with this article through normal editing. While the elementary school does not meet notability guidelines, notability for Clara Byrd Baker (the namesake) is met through the general notability guidelines. Accordingly, I have done a major revamp to the article. Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 07:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have changed my vote above to 'keep'. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:23, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
