Christ Church C.E Primary School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This school is trying to use Wikipedia as its own website. Everything is unreferenced, does not conform to Wikipedia standards, is choppy, needs major copy editing, and is not written from a neutral point of view. I.e. "The school is a great place for learning Age 4-11 Gender entry Mixed." Copy editing could be done, but the article still doesn't establish notability. Ryan Vesey (talk) 14:41, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ORG. Rarely would a primary school be notable, and this is no exception. Asnac (talk) 15:11, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per established consensus that the vast majority of primary schools are not notable. I would support a redirect to a school district or group of schools if appropriate.  Current article is a complete mess.  Cullen328 (talk) 15:24, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above and as copyvio of . --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:14, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect per standard procedure for non notable primary schools. I am staggered by the lack of sensitivity by Asnac and Ryan Vesey - it is blatantly obvious that this article has been created by an enthusiastic, very young editor. An article being 'in a mess' is no criteria for deviating from standard process. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:04, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of schools in Merseyside, as usual (since Moreton, Merseyside lacks an "Education" section), and create an entry for this school in the relevant subsection there. Deor (talk) 00:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge a brief summary to Moreton, Merseyside in a new 'Education' section. This could simply have been boldly done without coming here. Hey, don't worry, I've just done it! TerriersFan (talk) 01:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with Kudpung ... except for the lack of sourcing, there are no valid reasons given above for deletion. However, that doesn't mean it should stay.  I agree in principle with Asnac that these schools generally are not kept.  In the absence of third party reliable sources, the article should be deleted (because I don't think that anything can be kept, absent sourcing), and then redirected as per Deor, without prejudice against the article being recreated, should proper sourcing be found.

 * Well, we usually just blank the page to turn it into a redirect, keeping the history intact - a sort of 'soft' deletion if you will. If the school later asserts notability, the redirect can simply be reverted. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:22, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete rather than redirect - the name of the school must be shared by a number of others within the country. It would seem to be dubious to redirect in that circumstance without a dab. Not a terrible idea to take anything helpful and whack it in the locality article though. Blue Square Thing (talk) 07:39, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. As per Blue Square Thing, there is no need to retain a badly named article as a redirect - there are at least 10 institutions in England alone named Christ Church Primary School and even more when you include "Junior" or "Infant". In the meantime I have deleted the obvious COPYVIO content - just because it is under AfD is not a reason to keep it in place. --Simple Boba.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 07:54, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I can confirm that, as Blue Square Thing suggests, there are other schools with this name, and redirecting to an article relevant to only one of them would not be helpful. There is nothing in the history worth keeping, and so no good reason not to do a straight deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:17, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Could we move this to the user's page, allow it to be improved and if he can make it notable have it put through the channels at articles for creation? Ryan Vesey (talk) 13:17, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Primary schools are rarely considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article, so unless there are grounds for thinking this one is an exception there is no basis for doing that. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:22, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
