Talk:Thomas Wedge Church of England Primary School

Why have you deleted the page "Thomas Wedge Church of England Primary School"?

This building has very strong links to the village and is of great historical value. It has several generations of village folk who have attended. It was opened by Thomas Wedge before the Education Act for the children of his staff.

 * In general, primary schools are deemed insufficiently notable to support stand-alone articles. Information about them may, however, be included in the articles about the communities in which they are located. I've therefore merged some of the information about this school to the Saughall article (as suggested in the proposed-merger box that was at the top of this article) and have redirected it there.
 * By the way, is the original building still standing? I've found some evidence that The Ridings school has already closed, so has the construction of the new combined school, and the consequent razing of the Thomas Wedge buildings, been completed? There's probably a need for some (sourced) updating on the Saughall page; and since this article was completely unsourced as it stood, you might want to add some sources for the information I moved from this article as well.

 * My thoughts are generally the same as Deor, I am no hard-liner on school articles, article's should pass Notability, and primary school's are not usually notable enough for their own article. The article as it stood was completely unsourced with the merge tag stuck on it almost indefinitely. Merging content into the village article seems sensible, and content there does not need to pass Wikipedia:Notability, however it should sourced per Verifiability.
