This article (deprodded in 2012) doesn't approach notability under WP:ORG. The only sources are a link to the school's website and an unrelated Wikipedia article about St. Thomas More. Nothing better is available online. This school is quite patently run-of-the-mill. There's no obvious place to redirect to, either: Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockford contains no pertinent content. It appears that deletion is the best option. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 21:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC) reply

I'd be fine with a list of elementary schools and maybe a brief mention of this one. That doesn't take the article being merged though. Which retains the articles edit history, Etc. Etc. Since you could literally just make the list and mention it in the article right now without merging it. Merges are more appropriate IMO when there is more content then can be easily re-written in a single edit and also when the edit history of the merged article is worth preserving. Nether is the case here though. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 01:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Briefly merge or redirect somewhere - either to the high school or diocese. Primary schools are generally NN, and this one is apparently no exception. Peterkingiron ( talk) 15:57, 17 January 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Peterkingiron, there's a pretty clear consensus that the subject isn't notable, and nearly as clear a consensus that the page shouldn't be deleted. The remaining questions are how much content should be moved and where it should be moved to. Wikipedia has excellent coverage of the structures of the Catholic Church in the US and due to this, historically we've covered Catholic elementary education in the article on the individual school's owner if it exists. Settlement articles on small cities should generally include listings of schools. Either the diocese or Elgin could be an appropriate target, but neither is now as neither has any content AT ALL on this subject...help, please? 174.254.192.246 ( talk) 19:53, 17 January 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockford. Subject lacks SIGCOV from IS RS for a stand alone article. A list of elementary schools should be added to the target and this should be redirected there.  //  Timothy ::  talk  04:33, 23 January 2021 (UTC) reply
