Ryders Green Primary School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Primary school. Appears to be non-notable. Delete (w/redirect to whatever makes sense would be fine) appears to be in order. Epeefleche (talk) 20:47, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment: I don't think West Bromwich Albion's notability is contagious enough to infect this school. Even then, unfortunately, it is difficult to assess whether a lot of the claims made are real or odd one-offs with a bit of added peacockery. The referenced pages that are still live suggest 2 former pupils are (or were) members of WBA's under 11 and under 13 squads respectively in 2008. The other suggests that one team member came to the school once in 2007.  A bit of quick digging suggests that Ormiston Education Trust is actually some sort of consultancy related to setting up Academies.  More digging suggests that the "ECM Charter Mark" has at the very least fallen out of favour since the change of government. Pit-yacker (talk) 22:51, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The topic is notable per the WP:GNG, being the subject of multiple independent and reliable sources such as this. Warden (talk) 21:16, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete (or redirect if appropriate). No significant coverage. Run-of-the-mill. A routine government report, as as that linked above, does not establish "significant coverage": It demonstrates only existence, not notability. Notability is also not inherited from former pupils.

 * Delete - I don't see the connections with WBA as anything more than a tenuous link to be honest, which leaves nothing to claim notability at GNG level with. If those links with the football club can be shown to be notable beyond that which can normally be assumed for a football club then I might reconsider.

 * Redirect to West Bromwich per standard procedure. Non   notable schools are generally  not  deleted; instead,  as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to  the article about  the school district (USA) or to  the article about  the locality (rest  of the world). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:09, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the  on  the redirect  page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:09, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - Non-notable.Fails GNG. Redirect might be preferred if it was enshrined in a guideline or policy. But it's not unfortunately. It's just custom and practice that's grown up that is unsupported by anything official. Let's delete and move on. Might encourage acceptance of a decent notability guideline for schools.Fmph (talk) 10:29, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
