NN primary school. We don't generally provide stand-alone articles for such schools, absent a level of coverage not present here. Epeefleche (talk) 17:59, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge into Umm Suqeim as that article needs expanding quite abit, Since it needs expanding imho it seems better to Merge than to Redirect – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  22:50, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I would not object to a redirect. And, after (or even before) the article is redirected, inclusion of appropriate text about the school at the target.  But this article text has only one ref, and that is to what appears to be a non-RS (which I've challenged as such).  I believe a merge of challenged material that is not cited to an RS is not appropriate.  Though I have no problem with a redirect, and then with creation of appropriate material at the target. Best.

 * Merge, rather than redirect per Davy2010. It is much better to merge than redirect especially since this is a school and the general consensus on WP is to keep school articles by merge when possible per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. SW3 5DL (talk) 06:20, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Untrue. Outcomes says: "Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability get merged or redirected in AfD." And, as you can see here, redirect is overwhelmingly the choice between the two at primary school AfDs. Epeefleche (talk) 13:45, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Merged OR redirected. SW3 5DL (talk) 17:17, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Precisely. Which is contrary to your original incorrect assertion above ("It is ... better to merge than redirect ... since ... the general consensus on WP is to keep school articles by merge ... per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES.").  And, as you can see here, redirect is overwhelmingly the choice between the two at primary school AfDs -- which is also contrary to your assertion. Epeefleche (talk) 17:22, 3 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Umm Suqeim per longstanding consensus at AfD that all but the most exceptional elementary schools are presumed non-notable. The school's website (only source listed) indicates that the school is "primary only." Carrite (talk) 18:04, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
