St John's CE Primary School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Primary school. Zero refs. Appears to be non-notable. Delete (w/redirect to whatever makes sense would be fine) appears to be in order. Epeefleche (talk) 05:37, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to city or school district, per the well-established general consensus here for the vast majority of K-8 educational institutions. Since it seems there are a fairly vast number of AfD challenges of elementary schools today, I'm going to copy-and-paste this where appropriate, with apologies. The rule of thumb to redirect elementary schools and keep secondary schools is a necessary thing, a good compromise between those wanting a narrow, focused encyclopedia and those wanting a vast, expansive one. Rather than going to war over the notability or lack thereof of dozens or scores or hundreds of schools each day, we have a streamlined and ultimately effective process that most everyone can live with. Apologies to the creators of affected pages, but it really does need to be this way, in my opinion... Carrite (talk) 07:12, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete now, let's see - how common do we think St John might be in the name of a school? Especially a CE school? Sorry, but there's no redirect here without more in the article title. Blue Square Thing (talk) 00:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Newtown, Reading according  to  established procedure for non -notable primary/elementary/middle schools to  article about  school  district or locality. The lack  of disambiguation  is not  a criteria for deletion.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:25, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * NOTE to closer. If this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to  include the  template on  the redirect  page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:25, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge to Newtown, Reading, where it is. This is the best solution for Primary Schools.  Peterkingiron (talk) 00:49, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No assertion of notability. Outstanding is one of four Ofsted ratings.  Roughly 10%-20% of schools (or 4 others in the same town) are rated at this level. Redirect is not suitable for reasons outlined by User:Blue Square Thing - this is a probably a very common name for a school. Pit-yacker (talk) 14:34, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
