Jan Marcin Szancer Primary School 342

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article proposed for deletion because "Non notable elementary school, fails WP:NOTE". Prod contested "Per long-standing disputes, schools should go through AFD". Bizarre reason, because a) every article can be prodded and b) per WP:OUTCOMES, "Most elementary and middle schools that don't claim notability are now getting deleted in AfD" anyway, making the deletion uncontroversial and a ProD perfectly applicable. Anyway, someone wanted an AFD, so here we are. No claims to notability, few Google hits, one Google News hit. Young, large primary school, no indication of any notability.

 * With the alternative script used in Polish and similar languages I don't think you can rely on an English google search. By the way, what does the news article say? - Mgm|(talk) 12:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * True. The article seems to be a short general overview of the public schools in the region, "SZKOŁY PODSTAWOWE PUBLICZNE ", with contact details of each school. Fram (talk) 14:22, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment apart from the fact that this school does not seem to be notable at all, I offer my linguistic services. Anyone need anything? --Ouro (blah blah) 17:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I wouldn't know where to start on a Gsearch. My guess is that the long name, given in the article, is not the name by which the school is known in the local media and hence not a good search term. It would be helpful if you would carry out a search on the Polish Google news to see if you pick up anything worthwhile. TerriersFan (talk) 00:56, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, let's start by googling for the polish name of the school, which returns just over 1300 hits. I wouldn't say whether this is a lot, but it's not much. I couldn't find anything special among the search results to indicate that this school is very different from most other primary schools in Warsaw or Poland. The name of the article is a very direct translation of the name of the school, and it's as elegant as a 40 foot container if you ask me. The history of the school spans a mere 16 years (which is not much). The text of the article is practically in whole a translation of a text from the school's own site. Oh, and it's not present over at pl.wiki either, where only a handful of primary schools, most of them with a long history and a certain significance have their own articles. Agree with ChildofMidnight below, minor not notable school. Therefore delete. --Ouro (blah blah) 21:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect to Białołęka. This is a provisional recommendation pending Ouro turning up anything significant. UK primary schools are never deleted but are merged/redirected to the lowest level of locality article available and I see no reason to treat Polish schools any differently.

 * Merge or delete Primary school = non-notable as far as I can tell. ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
