Holne Chase Primary School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Apparently, non-notable primary school. Article fails to state why the school is notable. There isn't really any coverage of the school, that could be used to establish notability. The only stuff worth mentioning is the routine Ofsted inspection reports and DfE league table data (along with various sites that take dumps of that data and re-publish it) that you would expect all schools to have.

Although the article has previously been tagged for merge, I have brought it here as it appears there is still some disagreement as to whether primary schools are inherently notable Pit-yacker (talk) 18:39, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to West Bletchley where it  is already  listed. There is no  policy or guideline that  primary  schools are inherently notable. Any discussion  on  this matter has not  been resolved, and until  it  is, non notable schools are generally not deleted; instead, according  to  long  established precedent demonstrated by  100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to  the article about  the school district (USA) or to  the article about  the locality. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:35, 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) 10:15, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The school is notable as specified by WP:GNG, being covered in detail in independent, reliable sources such as this. Our editing policy is to preserve such notable topics. Warden (talk) 10:49, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect as Kudpung (and precedent) suggests. There are 16,000+ maintained primary schools in England and Wales. They all have Ofsted reports. The report is generated by the existence of the institution and as such is not evidence of notability. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 10:56, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
