Primary school. Appears to be non-notable. Delete (w/redirect to whatever makes sense would be fine) appears to be in order. Epeefleche (talk) 20:40, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Primary Schools aren't considered to be inherently notable. There are around 17,000 primary schools in the UK. Article fails to state why this school is any more notable than any of these. In fact, there is nothing in the article which couldn't be re-created in a couple of mins. Pit-yacker (talk) 20:50, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Per WP:GNG, notability requires independent, reliable sources and this topic has them, e.g. this substantial report. Our editing policy is to keep such material while it is also our policy not to delete notable material just because some people don't like it. Warden (talk) 21:47, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No significant coverage. Run-of-the-mill. A routine government report, as as that linked above, does not establish "significant coverage": It demonstrates only existence, not notability. Neutralitytalk 23:57, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as it's really not notable. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:25, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- delete Notability cannot be established by a report which is the automatic result of the institutions existence.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 02:07, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but REDIRECT to Morden per standard procedure. Non notable schools are generally not deleted; instead, as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to the article about the school district (USA) or to the article about the locality (rest of the world). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:19, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the {{R from school}} on the redirect page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:19, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Non-notable.Fails GNG. Redirect might be preferred if it was enshrined in a guideline or policy. But it's not unfortunately. It's just custom and practice that's grown up that is unsupported by anything official. Let's delete and move on. Might encourage acceptance of a decent notability guideline for schools.Fmph (talk) 10:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
