Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gaelscoil na mBeann


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus, but I am going to use my discretion as a regular editor to call this a merge. There is no support for the outright deletion, but having looked at the article, there are parts of it that I don't feel can be allowed to stay. For instance, the "Aims" section looks is written in first person, and looks like content appropriate for a school website rather than a neutral encyclopedia. Removing that material leaves only a few lines of content that seems to fit well with the Kilkeel article. Sjakkalle (Check!)  06:01, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Gaelscoil na mBeann

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable primary school. We generally draw the line at high schools in terms of notability. See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 23:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect selectively to Kilkeel. Sufficiently unusual to be worth a sentence or two. TerriersFan (talk) 02:42, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Leave as is! The school is 'notable', in the sense that the foundation of a bilingual school is a notable or historic event in this the area . Eog1916 (talk) 14:26, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect - no notability established. No relevant refs and no in-line refs Many schools might claim to be the first of their type. First academy in this area. First school to teach curling, first whatever. Sorry but that doesn't add up to notability by Wikipedia guidelines. Redirect as per TF above if it will fit.

 * Weak keep -- An English-Irish school in Northern Ireland is probably unusual, which might justify its being kept. This would be exceptional, as we normally delete articles on Primary Schools - or merge them into an artilce on schools in the district.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:05, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep that the school is doing something interesting regarding bilingualism suggests that it's out of the ordinary. &tilde;danjel [ talk &#124; contribs ] 16:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Kilkeel per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. While WP:ITSINTERESTING, there doesn't appear to be sufficent WP:RS to establish WP:N for a standalone article. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:54, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I think - for now at least. Coverage on Radio Ulster (see here for example) suggests some notability, and there appears to be a political aspect to this school which might just keep running. There seem to be printed press articles of a regional sort of level as well as far as I can tell as well as passing references (I know...) in more national orientated press. I would be open to reviewing this in the future though - it's certainly not an obvious keep. Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:33, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Gaelic medium primary schools in Northern Ireland WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES makes it pretty clear and the school has nothing that suggests its notable on its own merits. While rare or interesting that it's a bilingual school, only through WP:SIGCOV would these seemingly POV keep arguments be substantiated in which it does not appear so.
