 * Redirect to List of schools in Rotherham - fails WP:ORG. As is usual practice for primary schools redirect seems a constructive way forward. The Whispering Wind (talk)
 * Redirect-yeah, I'll go with that. It's just a nonsense article. Totally fails WP:ORG. Atlas-maker (talk) 22:09, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge (rather than plain redirect). This is (in the terms of other countries) a private school; hence rather different from the typical state school.  Alternatively the merge target might be a list of prep schools in Yorkshire.  English Public schools are generally for 13-18; and prep schools 8-13, preparing pupils for entrance to public schools.

 * I should be happy to support a merge, but where? I have had a good look for a better target but without success. I am not aware of a List of preparatory schools in Yorkshire or similar, for example. Indeed, the problem with such a list is that it is likely to be composed mainly of grey links as most of the schools would be nn. Mentioning the school at Rotherham would be undue weight and more content at List of schools in Rotherham would be out of keeping with the rest of the list.

 * I'd add that I don't agree that independent schools are any more inherently notable than state schools. Thats just snobbery. Atlas-maker (talk) 22:35, 2 December 2013 (UTC)


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