Tongogara Primary School

Primary schools are not inherently notable in the same way secondary schools are; there are not enough RS here to establish general notability. A BEFORE search fails to find sufficient additional sources. Chetsford (talk) 20:27, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Tongogara Refugee Camp and develop article as notable community with an Education section for the schools.     The school itself isn't that notable as a primary school but the camp settlement may be. Alternatively redirect to Chipinge the nearest town from the camp. Note this is the Tongogara that is about 420km southeast of Harare (southeast corner of Zimbabwe), and not the Tongogara in Shurugwi (center of Zimbabwe) that has Tongogara High School.

 * I don't think WP:AFD anticipates a !vote involving renaming the article to an entirely different subject and then rewriting the entire article to be about that subject. Redirect generally involves redirecting an article to an existing subject and, while I could see the reasoning behind renaming it, I'm not sure renaming it to be about something the article is not in the hope that someone might come along and then rewrite it to match the title would work. In the absence of a volunteer who is willing to undertake that, we'd be left with an article which still won't meet the notability guidelines, but it just won't be meeting them under a new name. That said, I do agree that Tongogara Refugee Camp is notable, just that the content of this article is not about that nor will it become about that following a rename.

 * There is no notability for this particular school, whereas a Camp article could at least have an education section about the camp establishing some schools. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 21:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, but we don't have an article about the refugee camp. And, simply changing the name of this article won't create one. It will just turn a not-notable article with an accurate name into a not-notable article with an inaccurate name. Chetsford (talk) 23:50, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've created the refugee camp article as a stub, changing vote to merge/redirect there. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 00:10, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That's barnstar-worthy. Chetsford (talk) 04:37, 13 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge or Redirect to Tongogara Refugee Camp (change from delete in nom) as per AngusWOOF. Chetsford (talk) 04:37, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Tongogara Refugee Camp, the existence of which is a great outcome of this AfD. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:23, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge as primary schools aren't ever notable, Also the picture on the left was in the article and I can't for the life of me understand why...... – Davey 2010 Talk 15:05, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You might want to ask the article's creator, who seems to be connected to the school? Like why not just take a picture of the school? AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:00, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Exactly!, Just seems so bizarre ..... – Davey 2010 Talk 19:25, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
