This page was proposed for deletion by Kobuu (talk · contribs) on 2 September 2014 with the comment:
A few things going on here: Article references some opinions without citations, only one site is used as a source, and this information is not present at that source. Also, the article Foxborough, Massachusetts already exists and lists these schools with their respective sections from the source site. Schools are notable, but a list of schools without sources is not.

Removed prod: a school district is a governmental entity, almost certainly notable as such.

PROD or Merge[edit]

As stated in my original PROD, a list of the schools with some original content doesn't make it notable. This information is already displayed on another wiki article and rewriting what is found on only the District's website doesn't make for a good Wiki article. The only other use for this page is to have it merged with Foxborough, Massachusetts.Kobuu (talk) 15:52, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A school district is a governmental entity, distinct from the municipal government. As such, it's notable. See WP:OUTCOMES#School districts: "'Populated, legally-recognized places' include school districts, which conveys near-inherent notability to school districts per Wikipedia:Notability (geography)." --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:24, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
