Fitzroy North Primary School

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article for local primary school which appears to be non-notable in terms of its scope, facilities or history, other than being one of the oldest schools in Melbourne (the link to confirm this is dead). I don't think the buildings are Heritage-listed or similar. Crowsus (talk) 08:57, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:GEOFEAT#1, as an article on the structure. That the school was on the heritage list indicates to me that this is notable. As notability is not temporary, the subsequent removal should not impact notability. Redirect or Merge to Fitzroy North, Victoria, where the subject is currently mentioned. This clearly fails WP:NSCHOOL. That being said, WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES says that Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them (generally the case in North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere or where there is no governing body). While WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES simply lists common outcomes rather than serving as a notability guideline itself, I don't see any issue with having a selective merge to the article on the suburb given that there is no school district to redirect/merge this to; it seems like the school warrants mention in the article on the locale. —  Red-tailed hawk (nest) 15:18, 7 January 2023 (UTC) updated 03:37, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Formerly on the Victoria Government Buildings Register. Was not transferred to the Victorian Heritage Register, however. But I think there's sufficient here to meet WP:GEOFEAT. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:14, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - a good argument could be made that the building itself is notable as a historic site. Bearian (talk) 18:41, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep newspapers.com shows RS material suitable for the article spanning decades: A Grim New Year in the Ghetto: "Most of the children are from migrant homes where nearly all the parents are on the poverty line", A fine day but not for a swim, Gold fever runs hot as schools get Games spirit.
