Queen Mary Public School

Although schools are often considered notable, this is a elementary school that is written rather poorly and like an advertisement - additionally, the "history" and "appearance" only state what the school looks like and are pretty much trivia. Cyan  Gardevoir  (used EDIT!) 07:32, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. This school may be more notable as a building than as a school, since probably-notable architect William Blackwell (architect) designed it and Eberhard Zeidler designed a later addition. But I haven't seen anything to prove that the building is notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 08:04, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I am not even sure this can be considered as a school article. Apart from its title there is nothing scholastic about it and the text seems to be totally architecturally orientated. There is no school history, no details of principals, no student details, no prospectus or inspections, nothing about education topics. Consequently I disagree with the nomination statement that it is like an advertisement; nothing could be further from actuality. My feeling is that the article should remain as a notable architecture entry but all school categories removed from the bottom of the article. 21st CENTURY  GREENSTUFF 12:23, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that any potential notability is as a building rather than a school. The building is not listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places or National Historic Sites of Canada, which would have provided clear evidence of notability, but it may still be notable. I found two additional Peterborough Examiner articles about the school building: . I'm not sure if this is enough to meet WP:GNG as it is all local coverage, but it certainly doesn't hurt. Generally I lean toward keeping this kind of content if it is verifiable. Camerafiend (talk) 15:10, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. It is standard practice to redirect non-notable schools to the School Board they are a part of, particularly in Canada.    PK  T (alk)  18:40, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
