Brockley Primary School

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable school. Fails WP:ORG. No references or third-party sources cited CultureDrone (talk) 09:26, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I lean strongly towards delete on the subject and view it as an unnotable school according to WP:SCHOOL guidelines for junior/primary schools. However, the WP:SCHOOL guidelines have not been adopted into Wikipedia's rules at present. So, I'm at a loss at how Wikipedians would approach the topic. Artene50 (talk) 09:35, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirecting to locality (Shuttlewood in this case) is the regular approach for dealing with non-notable schools at AfD. • Gene93k (talk) 10:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought, but I did that for another school which asserted no notability, and an admin reverted it saying it should be brought to AfD - so that's what I'm doing with schools until someone tells me different. At the risk of going off topic, was the redirect to the local article just part of the failed WP:SCHOOL guideline, or is it standing policy somewhere else ?

 * Redirecting was part of WP:SCHOOL but it has been a long-established practice. Redirecting primary schools is usually not controversial. High schools however are contentious. • Gene93k (talk) 16:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment following the failure of WP:SCHOOL to reach consensus, I'm using WP:ORG as a guideline for notability - but that's just a personal opinion. CultureDrone (talk) 10:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Shuttlewood to where I have already merge the content. This could have been done without coming here. TerriersFan (talk) 15:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect as suggest by User:TerriersFan. Alansohn (talk) 19:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge but delete and salt the resultant redirect (which would otherwise encourage recreation). The consensus is that we do not have articles on primary schools, but they can have a sentence or paragraph in an article on the place where they are.  Notability is difficult to establish for them.

 * Merge/Redirect as suggested. I don't think deleting the redirect is a good idea - the redirect would help anyone searching WP for information on the school.  If there are concerns about recreating the article then protect the redirect; there's no need to delete it. Waggers (talk) 09:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to obvious target, per WP:BEFORE. - Neier (talk) 13:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
