 * Delete. Non-notable school. Also, primary schools are generally not given their own article. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 18:48, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as a non-notable elementary school. Or redirect to Palmerston North, New Zealand if there would be any value in that. Carrite (talk) 19:23, 15 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: Non-notable primary school. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 20:30, 15 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect - blank, and redirect to List of schools in the Manawatu-Wanganui Region where it is already listed. There is no  policy or guideline that  primary  schools are inherently notable, but as redirection  is often a preferred solution: Sometimes an unsuitable article may have a title that would make a useful redirect. In these cases, deletion is not required; any user can boldly redirect to another article (policy), non notable schools that  are proven to  exist are generally not deleted; instead, according  to  long  established precedent demonstrated by  100s of AfD closures, and summarised in WP:OUTCOMES, an objective essay  that  "is intended to supplement Wikipedia:Deletion policy", they are redirected to  the article about  the school district (USA), or to  the article about  the locality, or to a list article. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:34, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the  template on  the redirect  page as it  populates an important  category. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:34, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Delete. This school -- with zero independent gbooks hits, and three passing mention gnews hits, lacks the RS coverage that would -- in light of precedent -- support notability such as would lead us to keep it as a stand-alone article.--Epeefleche (talk) 22:11, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
