Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Milking Bank Primary School (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   redirect to Other primary schools in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley. Given the lack of references, I'm not sure there's anything to merge, but it can be done from the article history if desired (don't forget to properly attribute the content if this is done).

Primary school, which does not appear to meet our notability requirements. Zero refs. Epeefleche (talk) 03:42, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dudley. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:05, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dudley, per the well-established general consensus here for the vast majority of K-8 educational institutions. Since it seems there are a fairly vast number of AfD challenges of elementary schools today, I'm going to copy-and-paste this where appropriate, with apologies. The rule of thumb to redirect elementary schools and keep secondary schools is a necessary thing, a good compromise between those wanting a narrow, focused encyclopedia and those wanting a vast, expansive one. Rather than going to war over the notability or lack thereof of dozens or scores or hundreds of schools each day, we have a streamlined and ultimately effective process that most everyone can live with. Apologies to the creators of affected pages, but it really does need to be this way, in my opinion... Carrite (talk) 07:15, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect as above (but see later). Certainly more complete than is normal, but, frankly, non-notable. The article Other primary schools in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley also exists and seems to have been a merging pot for all the other primary school articles, although some don't appear in the Dudley article but link from elsewhere or to other articles as well (or from Template:Schools in Dudley to various places). Frankly it looks like it's going to take some sorting out of this one - it'd be useful to get some thoughts on a more general approach in this case.

 * Redirect to Dudley according  to  established procedure for non -notable primary/elementary/middle schools to  article about  school  district or locality or its school  sub-list. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * NOTE to closer. If this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to  include the  template on  the redirect  page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to Other primary schools in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley to which various other local Primary Scholls are redirected (e.g. Kates Hill). The article suggested by Kudpung needs to have a "main" link to that article.  Peterkingiron (talk) 00:56, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Other primary schools in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley (and move that to primary schools in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley). Existence is not the same as notability. To survive, this article need to demonstrate why the subject is notable. At present it fails to do this.  The article has barely changed since its last AfD over 5 years ago.
