The result was delete. No-one has bothered to add any sources whatsoever to this article during this AfD. WP:V, a core policy, overrides all "keep" arguments. If someone finds a reliable source for this list, they are welcome to merge it to wherever, provided there is consensus for such a merger. Sandstein 21:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

List of Primary Schools in Barrow-in-Furness

Primary schools themselves are not notable, nor is Wikipedia a directory. Ki | jog  14:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC) *Convert to a category. TerriersFan 01:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT - WP is not a directory (of primary schools) Corpx 15:30, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Corpx VanTucky  (talk) 19:58, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: It can't be converted to a category without writing separate articles on each item. Categories and lists are not interchangable.

 * Keep assuming a reference source can be found and cited. There should be a government source for this. Dhaluza 02:03, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Barrow-in-Furness. Separation of this list into its own article appears to have been a less-than-ideal effort to reduce size of the Barrow-in-Furness article, which is currently 49 kilobytes long. In the context of an article about the place, the list of primary schools would be a good contribution to knowledge.--orlady 17:34, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Barrow-in-Furness. TerriersFan 17:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - My move to delete this was on the basis that the information was not notable in itself, and so it didn't require a separate article either. The eventual aim is to bring Barrow-in-Furness to good article status, other similar settlements who have reached that level don't feature such a list, merely saying something along the lines of 'There are xx number of primary schools in the town etc..' (c.f. Runcorn) Ki | jog  19:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - At the moment the Schools and colleges of the Barrow article is a bit of a mess and far from GA standard. Let me make a suggestion. That section would be better with some sourced text over-viewing education in Barrow, how it is structured and administered, and pointing out notable features (if any) of individual schools). You could then replace this List with a subsidiary article Education in Barrow-in-Furness. Such an article would list all the schools but, more importantly, should summarise each school that has its own article. This would accord with the precedent that has been established for articles on each of the US school districts. TerriersFan 19:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirect/merge for now, once there are a few articles about the schools then I'd like to see this article been used again to point to them. Mathmo Talk 21:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Rename to Education in Barrow-in-Furness; copy across some of the other details from main article. Kappa 06:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - As I said before, bringing Barrow-in-Furness to good article status is an eventual aim, I haven't even scratched the surface of some parts. I'm quite happy to merge the info and in the long term write an overview of education. That should still mean this article is deleted. As to the suggestion of Education in Barrow-in-Furness, I would disagree. A more fitting match to the precedent set by the US school districts would be Education in Cumbria, as a shire county the county council is the local education authority, not the borough.

 * Comment - FWIW I would maintain Education in Barrow-in-Furness as the best merge. Though Cumbria is the educational authority it is really too large to have school summaries. TerriersFan 15:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge to Barrow-in-Furness with ultimate goal being either Education in Barrow-in-Furness (per Kappa) or Education in Cumbria (per Ki), whichever makes more sense for a potential reader's comprehension of the subject. -- DS1953 talk 22:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Barrow-in-Furness as suggested above. Yamaguchi先生 04:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge as per above.Harlowraman 18:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
