Mitcham Primary School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A user claims this is notable because two notable politicians attended this school. Almost all primary schools are redirected and I don't see why this one shouldn't suffer the same fate.  NickGibson3900 Talk 09:33, 14 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge into the Mitcham, South Australia article. Ollieinc  ( talk ) 09:41, 14 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose It is also notable for its early establishment, only 11 years after the colonisation of South Australia. Bahudhara (talk) 13:51, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose It is probably the oldest continuing school in South Australia. Travers

 * PROCEDURAL COMMENT - would participants please review WP:DISCUSSAFD and take note of the normal  procedure for conducting  AfD discussions. We  do  not  use 'Oppose' or 'Support' and the various  bots and tools will not recognise those !votes. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:28, 16 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Kingswood, South Australia. Almost all primary  schools are certainly  not  deleted. In  fact, according  to  the normal procedure established by  clear precedent  and documented at  WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES they are almost all redirected.

 * Redirect to Kingswood, South Australia per SCHOOUTCOMES, Anyone using Support/Oppose in AFDs should be blocked indef until they learn!, Anyway on a related note just because it's been around for 11 years doesn't automatically make it notable. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  07:22, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Just as a quick correction, it has been around for 167 years. The claim to notability being made is that this makes it the oldest existing school in the state. - Bilby (talk) 00:33, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Not sure where I read 11 years but since it's been around for 167 years It's clearly historical so should be kept. (Cheers for spotting the error). – Davey 2010  •  (talk)  20:39, 21 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. The age of this one makes it notable. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  16:43, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:GNG is a historic school of around 167 years and being the oldest state school in South Australia. It has received wide coverage for being the school where Julia Gillard studied .Through strictly speaking it fails WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES being a primary school but it clearly passes WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 18:46, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
