 * Keep WikiProject Schools usually keeps articles like these as notable. Improve it? yes, but keep it.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:40, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The school's website states that it's a primary school and the Wikiproject schools people generally acknowledge that few primary schools are notable. The refences which turn up through a Google search (the best of which are a couple of government websites saying that this is an 'eco-school') don't seem sufficient to meet the level of coverage required at WP:N and WP:ORG.

 * Merge/redirect to a new section Adelaide Hills per normal practice - to clarify I am recommending merging the content not a simple redirect since being an Eco School is significant enough to record in the locality article. TerriersFan (talk) 16:33, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect, but to Belair, South Australia, into which a mention of the school can be added. I know nothing about the geography of the area; however, Belair is not listed in List of towns in the Adelaide Hills, so I'm not sure that it's technically located in the Adelaide Hills.

 * Comment - thanks, you are correct so I suggest Belair, South Australia. TerriersFan (talk) 17:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect Procedural. As above. Five Years 17:59, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete/Redirect There is no reliably sourced material in this article suitable for inclusion in the locality article, other than the fact that the school exists. Further, I have no idea what an "Eco School" is and why that is significant. "[Participating] in recycling, watercare, composting, energy management, and sustainable environmental practice" sounds like standard practice in Australian schools today. -- Mattinbgn\talk 01:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Belair, South Australia per above. There's no coverage to indicate that there is anything distinctive or notable about this particular school; but the pertinent parts should be merged to the location article which is a bit stubby.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 08:15, 5 July 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete There's barely any content worth merging to Belair, South Australia. Examination of the school website suggests there's little notability in the "Eco" angle. Murtoa (talk) 07:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - mention of the schools is always appropriate in a page on a suburb and this one badly needs some content. I see no basis for deleting, rather than merging. TerriersFan (talk) 01:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - fair comment. Maybe this reflects my lack of understanding of the deletion process.  I'm not against a mention of the school on the suburb page, but can't see how this would be much more than just that - a mention.  To me, a merge implies or at least suggests that a deal of the existing content on this page would carry across, which I don't think should be the case. Murtoa (talk) 07:27, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment -OK; I have gone ahead and carried out the merge and I think it provides an interesting enhancement for the suburb article. I suggest that this page should now be redirected to Belair, South Australia. TerriersFan (talk) 19:23, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
