This article may not meet Wikipedia's "Notability" guidelines for schools. See Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes. I very strongly disagree with that guideline, but it is still in place, and must be adhered to. Shirt58 (talk) 13:07, 28 November 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Redirect to Newton Mearns, standard practice. tedder (talk) 18:04, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Normally, I'd put this down as a straightforward merge/redirect, but this primary school seems to be getting more attention than your average one. A search on GNews for "Mearns Primary" shows that this school got quite a bit of attention a few years ago over a lottery system for admissions, and further attention (although less of a notability claim) over some silly parents who wanted to land a helicopter on the playing field for a prom. Combining this with the historic building it use to occupy and it being one of the largest primary school in Scotland, there may be a case for an exception.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Redirect to Newton Mearns per precedent. Cunard (talk) 02:35, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
