St Charles' Primary School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable primary school. Sources include its own website and local newspaper but nothing which appears to confer notability. Created at AfC then moved to mainspace by original editor before any AfC input, apparently. Pam D  13:57, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

 * West Coats Primary School has a page - so St Charles is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sahaib3005 (talk • contribs) 15:54, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Firstly, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, secondly, West Coats Primary School is a listed building. Pam  D  22:33, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cambuslang where it is mentioned, lacks the significant coverage by independant reliable sources needed for notability. Current sources have minor routine coverage of school construction plans and brief mention in coverage of a possibly notable teacher. West Coats Primary School has a claim of notability due to it's B-listed building.  Gab4gab (talk) 16:05, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - generally primary schools do not have the level of notability that is required for a Wikipedia article. There are some exceptions, but I do not see anything that would suggest that this is one of them. Dunarc (talk) 22:56, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable. --Bduke (talk) 01:28, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - The mention in Scottish Construction magazine is only in passing, doesn't constitute significant coverage. Local news coverage doesn't isn't really about anything over than the fact of the school being built. A Come Dine With Me winner doesn't constitute a notable person. And finally, WAX notwithstanding, it is only one of the other primary schools in Cambuslang that has an article. Paul Carpenter (talk) 12:08, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete almost all primary schools are not notable, nothing suggests this is one of the very rare exceptions.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:23, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Withdraw as the creating editor has now redirected this to the local area - Thank you. (Yes, perhaps I should have just redirected it myself in the first place rather than come to AfD, apologies - but at least we now have a record of consensus to delete, should it be questioned again in future).

 * I didn't vote as it was obvious which way it would go but i think you went about it the right way, AFAIK the creator is a new editor who has shown enthusiasm and coding/sourcing skills which can take some time. It's important to know under what guidelines and pluralism your stuff might get deleted; to redirect it from the outset would have been a bit WP:BITEY IMO although I'm sure you'd have explained it fully via talk etc. Crowsus (talk) 13:06, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm obviously not opposed to a redirect. However redirecting an article while it's being considered here at AFD looks like the creating editor wanting to own the subject rather than wait for the close of discussion. Gab4gab (talk) 14:40, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
