Hillbourne School and Nursery

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Schools prior to secondary school are not generally notable under wp standards, and are subject to deletion/redirect; this appears to be one of the NN ones. Epeefleche (talk) 22:49, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Primary schools are not inherently notable (there are almost 17,000 in UK). This article fails to state why this school in particular is notable. Pit-yacker (talk) 13:29, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Run of the mill primary school with no claim to fame. Google search turned up nothing establishing notability. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 17:59, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Whether a school is average or famous is irrelevant because our notability guideline is not concerned with these things. All that matters are independent reliable sources and this topic has them, e.g. this detailed report of 15 pages. Warden (talk) 21:07, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. No significant coverage. Run-of-the-mill. A routine government report, as as that linked above, does not establish "significant coverage": It demonstrates only existence, not notability. Neutralitytalk 23:47, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article makes no case for notability and seems to fail to meet the level of sourcing I'd be looking for for it to meet the GNG een if such notability were claimed. Unless that can be accomplished then I'd tend towards delete at this stage. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:05, 27 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of schools in Poole where it  is already  listed, per standard procedure. (Already  listed for merging since March  2008). 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) 08:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the  on  the redirect  page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - Non-notable.Fails GNG. Redirect might be preferred if it was enshrined in a guideline or policy. But it's not unfortunately. It's just custom and practice that's grown up that is unsupported by anything official. Let's delete and move on. Might encourage acceptance of a decent notability guideline for schools.Fmph (talk) 10:24, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
