The result was   redirect to List of schools in Tower Hamlets. There appears to be nothing to merge here, so I'm simply redirecting the article. (non-admin closure) Tim Song (talk) 23:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Globe Primary School

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This primary school article was in a very poor state before I stubbed it down. I checked online for sources that might show notability, but to no avail. I don't believe it meets notability requirements. Aiken&#39;s drum (talk) 10:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to List of schools in Tower Hamlets. The article has been up since June, so it has stayed up well past the typical waiting period for nomination.  Every once in awhile, we see a primary/elementary school article that might be part of a class project on learning how Wikipedia works, and custom is to let it stay up for a week while the lesson plan runs its course, and then to nominate it.  The usual practice is to merge this to an article about the school district or the locality where the school stands.  I'm sure someone will probably see some notability in the statement that the school has been in existence "since 1874".  Even if true (and I have my doubts that this has been in continuing existence that long), that in and of itself is not notable.  Hard to find anything showing notability, although the search is complicated by the fact that the school lives in the shadow of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre close by.

 * Keep My understanding is that high schools, and perhaps primary schools as well, as considered inherently notable. I can't find any specific policy on this point, but that's what I recall. If I'm wrong on this, I'll certainly reconsider. This is an old school (1874), and that alone gives me pause. Merge. Given the general practice cited below, and the lack of a demonstration of notability, I'm changing my vote to merge. However, given the age of the school, it is possible that notability can be demonstrated. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 14:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The general understanding is that high schools (i.e., those that confer a diploma) are considered inherently notable. Primary and middle schools are not considered worthy of an article of their own, and are usually merged.  Difficult to find, but it's summarized in WP:OUTCOMES.

 * Thanks for pointing me toward that. I'm changing my "vote" to merge.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 16:19, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
