Elementary school, not particularly notable. Contested prod. ... disco spinster   talk  03:27, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

It's an old school and the only Chinese elementary school. Don't be so quick to call it not notable. RIPGC (talk) 03:53, 9 August 2010 (UTC) Sock of banned editor. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)


 * (ec)Delete (unless sources are added): Generally speaking, elementary schools almost always fail notability, simply because they don't receive significant coverage in secondary sources.  The original editor has added two links two government sites that do verify the school's existence, but do nothing to verify the school's notability.  Editor has added a link to a web site in Chinese, but I can't even tell what kind of site it is.  It's called "My Kampung," which makes me think it's some type of blogging site, but the format looks more like a newspaper.  At a minimum, we need some explanation for what that article says and why it makes the school notable.  However, one article alone will not be enough to establish notability, as we need significant coverage, not just one article.  Response to RIPGC: Just because a school is old, that doesn't make it notable.  I still don't see how this meets GNG.  It's not our responsibility to prove it non-notable--per WP:BURDEN, its the responsibility of those who wish to include it to prove that it meets the notability guidelines.Qwyrxian (talk) 04:03, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete It would take something quite remarkable for a primary school of 63 students to be notable. I'm not seeing it here (eg lack of coverage in reliable sources, which isn't too hard to find in the Malaysian news). --Mkativerata (talk) 17:54, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails notability per lack of sources. Burpelson AFB (talk) 22:47, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Alor Gajah. This is the action we take with elementary schools in those Anglophone countries with no school district structure and it would indicate systemic bias to treat a Malaysian school less favourably. TerriersFan (talk) 00:21, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
