The result was Redirect to Cham, Switzerland. There is clear consensus that the subject is not notable. No editor has offered an argument against redirection and there are concerns about a merge due to the promotional nature of the article content. The subject can be mentioned in the target article at editorial discretion. Hut 8.5 21:00, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

International School of Central Switzerland

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Schools through grade 6 are not generally notable under wp standards, and are subject to deletion/redirect; this appears to be one of the NN ones Epeefleche (talk) 09:27, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect - Per WP:OUTCOMES, "Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability are now getting merged or redirected in AfD. Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district that operates them (North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia." I also have concerns about WP:NPOV, as some of the language reads like an advertisement. -- Sailing to Byzantium  ( msg ),  16:11, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. No indication of notability, the external references are broken or do not mention the school, reads like an advertisement. This is a private school, of which there are very many in Switzerland, and so a merger is not warranted. Its existence might be mentioned in Cham, Switzerland, at the most.

 * Delete Does not appear to satisfy WP:N and WP:ORG. Multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage are needed. Edison (talk) 18:11, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cham, Switzerland, per standard procedure,  but  recast for neutrality  and to  remove WP:PEACOCK (Wikipedia either a school  nor a tourism  guide). 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) 06:54, 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) 06:54, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * redirect or merge of course; it's our standard way of doing it. I can not figure out, with this the usual option, why the nom decided to bring it here--especially when he himself accepts redirect as a solution. Perhaps he thinks he need general endorsement here to do the obvious, but he doesn't, & could just boldly have gone ahead withthe redirect he asks for. .   DGG ( talk ) 04:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * In similar AfDs of late, we have had a range of !votes -- including keep, delete, merge, and redirect. And we have had varying closes. And a variety of expressions by different editors as to what our standard way of doing thing is. And even here we have different views expressed.  Perhaps a notability guideline addition would help clarify these type AfDs.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:59, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
