Hurst Lodge School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Hello, following up on my amends a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to follow up and propose that this page is deleted. The main reason is that the relevant history information is now included on the new School page created by @tacyarg and so this article is a duplication of what is written in Hurst Lodge Established 2020.

As a new editor this is my first page deletion request I have read most of the guidance on deletion and so I am hoping I am making this request properly.

I got a bit lost on deletion sorting lists, sorry. SeraphinaBlue (talk) 09:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. I would actually delete the new page, Hurst Lodge School (established 2020), after ensuring that any additional info is on the old page. This retains the editing history of the old page. The reason for setting up the new page in the first place was because CoI editors were deleting all the info about the pre-2018 school from the old page. I was advised that they should be treated as two different schools. I don't really have an opinion on whether they are in fact two different schools needing two articles, but if they are one school I would keep the old page.

 * Keep, but merge here Hurst Lodge School (established 2020), per . If the “new” school identifies itself with the old school, very few sources will distinguish between them and only one article is needed. The original school is clearly notable. The new school might become notable, too, especially if it changed its name, but for now almost all of the reliable sources for it have been taken from this page and do not apply to a new school just established. If it is a different school, it needs to stand on its own feet in terms of notability. NB, I won’t say most independent schools have been founded and refounded, running out of money and being re-launched from time to time, and/or merged with other schools, but both are pretty common.

Thank You MoonRaker and Tacyarg, keeping the original page would work - I (or others) can put the additional 2020 info on Hurst Lodge School and then request the new page 2020 for deletion instead. My original point is that two pages are not needed, and it seems there is agreement for that.SeraphinaBlue (talk) 16:34, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable and well sourced. The page on the "new" school should be merged into this one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:22, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your input - I will flag the other one for closure, and remove this notice.SeraphinaBlue (talk) 14:54, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello experienced editors, I tried to remove the AfD notice on this page, but on the edit history noticed that a bot has replaced the notice today. Now there is geenral agreement to keep the page how do I remove this AfD notice to stop it reappearing? thanks in advance for any guidance.SeraphinaBlue (talk) 17:30, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , This is not good to remove AfD notice on your own. Once an uninvolved admin/editor closes this AfD procedurally, they'll manage removing the notice. ─ The Aafī   (talk)|undefined  15:10, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
