Article proposed for deletion because "Non notable elementary school, fails WP:NOTE". Prod contested "Per long-standing disputes, schools should go through AFD". Bizarre reason, because a) every article can be prodded and b) per WP:OUTCOMES, "Most elementary and middle schools that don't claim notability are now getting deleted in AfD" anyway, making the deletion uncontroversial and a ProD perfectly applicable. Anyway, someone wanted an AFD, so here we are. No claims to notability, few Google hits[1], one Google News hit[2]. Young, large primary school, no indication of any notability.

- With the alternative script used in Polish and similar languages I don't think you can rely on an English google search. By the way, what does the news article say? - Mgm|(talk) 12:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment apart from the fact that this school does not seem to be notable at all, I offer my linguistic services. Anyone need anything? --Ouro (blah blah) 17:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I wouldn't know where to start on a Gsearch. My guess is that the long name, given in the article, is not the name by which the school is known in the local media and hence not a good search term. It would be helpful if you would carry out a search on the Polish Google news to see if you pick up anything worthwhile. TerriersFan (talk) 00:56, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, let's start by googling for the polish name of the school, which returns just over 1300 hits. I wouldn't say whether this is a lot, but it's not much. I couldn't find anything special among the search results to indicate that this school is very different from most other primary schools in Warsaw or Poland. The name of the article is a very direct translation of the name of the school, and it's as elegant as a 40 foot container if you ask me. The history of the school spans a mere 16 years (which is not much). The text of the article is practically in whole a translation of a text from the school's own site. Oh, and it's not present over at pl.wiki either, where only a handful of primary schools, most of them with a long history and a certain significance have their own articles. Agree with ChildofMidnight below, minor not notable school. Therefore delete. --Ouro (blah blah) 21:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/redirect to Białołęka#Education. This is a provisional recommendation pending Ouro turning up anything significant. UK primary schools are never deleted but are merged/redirected to the lowest level of locality article available and I see no reason to treat Polish schools any differently.

- Merge or delete Primary school = non-notable as far as I can tell. ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
