John Rankin Junior School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Primary school. Appears to be non-notable. Delete (w/redirect to whatever makes sense would be fine) appears to be in order. Epeefleche (talk) 20:30, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. As with other noms there are almost 17,000 primary schools in the UK. Article fails to state why this one is notable. Although, a large number of playing fields have been sold off over the last 15 or so years, it isn't unusual for a primary school to have a large playing field. So that for example cant be taken as notability. Pit-yacker (talk) 21:24, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The topic is notable, per WP:GNG, being covered in detail in independent, reliable sources such as this. It is our editing policy to retain such notable topics. Warden (talk) 21:37, 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 23:58, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as there's no suspicion that it might be notable, let alone sourcing. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:29, 27 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep but REDIRECT  to  Newbury, Berkshire per standard procedure. 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) 09:20, 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) 09:20, 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) 10:33, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
