 * Merge to Uttar Dinajpur district, which has no mention. This will improve the article (WP:ATD-M). See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. North America1000 09:43, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Per the RfC that people so delightful chooses to ignore. And so clearly states that SCHOOLOUTCOMES is not a relevant argument. The Banner talk 14:12, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The argument here is not WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, but WP:ATD-M, a perfectly valid argument that Wikipedia is better served in many cases by a merge/redirect of a non-notable article than a permanent delete. Doing a bold merge in uncontroversial cases like this can save unnecessary debate at AfD. There's no prohibition against a "see also" to WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, and WP:NSCHOOL does just that. It provides relevant information about current consensus, including a prominent summary and link to the rfc. The rfc found that WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES can't be used as an argument for inherent notability of secondary schools that fail WP:GNG, but we all agree that this school is not notable. "Delete per the rfc" seems in fact to be an invalid counter-argument, since the rfc outcome has nothing to say about delete vs. merge of non-notable schools. If anything, there is significant support in the rfc discussion for merging in general, and I believe that the custom of redirecting primary schools to parent articles remains a valid practice, supported by the WP:ATD-M policy and the WP:RPURPOSE guideline. The information in the article is verifiable, and appears to have a reasonably reliable source, so it meets WP:FAILORG. I'd be happy to hear any arguments against redirects for primary schools, based on Wikipedia policies or guidelines, as I'm not aware of any. --IamNotU (talk) 18:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Kanki, Uttar Dinajpur per WP:ATD-M. Non-notable. I have just added the school's name to that article, I think that's all that's needed for now, so a blank-and-redirect can be done, keeping the page's history for future reference. --IamNotU (talk) 01:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge. (as suggested). On the basis of the schools compromise, which still does have support despite the confusing rfc. Secondary schools are almost always treated as notable; primary and intermediate schools not. That simple rule avoids contentious AfDs. Please notice it does not refer to the concept of whether or not they are notable--for a boarding school  I or someone in the country of the school probably could find references if we needed to, but the compromise means I do not have to look--if there's nothing obviously notable we can just merge/delete. (fwiw, the rfc said nothing about primary schools--it just said that there was no consensus to change the practice of keeping secondary schools, and no consensus to merely refer to schooloutcomes--if we thought that coherent, we could deduce from it there is no consensus to treat primary schools as non-notable, but I thinks it's fair to both sides to go on as before.)
