The result was   redirect to Newton Hall. There is a clear consensus, that a separate article for this school isn't warrented. (non-admin closure) Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk about my edits? 11:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Finchale Primary School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

School through age 11. Convention with such schools is, as I understand it, to delete and/or redirect. Appears to be non-notable. Delete (w/redirect to whatever makes sense would be fine) appears to be in order. Created by an SPA. Epeefleche (talk) 00:58, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to County Durham per standard practice for non-notable primary schools. Carrite (talk) 03:45, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Newton Hall per nominator's own suggestion, and where it is already  mentikoned. Non   notable schools are generally  not  deleted; instead,  as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to  the article about  the school district (USA) or to  the article about  the locality (rest  of the world). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:05, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the  on  the redirect  page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:05, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete (or redirect). Very long article, but it fails to say why the school is notable. Pit-yacker (talk) 22:13, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. The article demonstrates the notability of the school quite comprehensively, with notable alumni and sporting achievements given. &tilde;danjel [ talk | contribs ] 00:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete or merge/redirect if necessary. Unfortunately there is nothing notable about the setting. It's a bog-standard primary. The stuff that might establish some form of notability is, unfortunately, unreferenced. It's been written in a way to try to fool a casual observer that it is on the way to GA status, such as a long list of wikilinked paces that the children visit as part of the curriculum. Unfortunately none of this establishes notability. Fmph (talk) 17:17, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, as it stands, notability does not appear to have been asserted, and as I said above, a redirect to Newton Hall is of course the most likely outcome. That said, I think it's been written in  very  good faith by a SPA (possibly a teacher or a student), but  where the creator has probably taken another school  article as a model,  they  should have read WP:WPSCH/AG before they  started.
