Walker Primary School (UK)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested prod. Run-of-the-mill elementary school. No school district to redirect this article to. Delete unless the school district can be found.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 01:03, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. In the United Kingdom, state schools are generally run by the local municipality rather than a separate school district. (But see Inner London Education Authority for a now-defunct exception.) Where there is no school district, a non-notable school should be redirected to the article about the community or local authority. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:40, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

 * delete Run of the mill, no value to a redirect. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:01, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete fopr preference; alternatively merge/redirect to an article on education in Enfield London Borough. However, there is really not much in the article worth preserving.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:46, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Is there a policy at wikipedia which defines what schools can have articles and which ones cannot? If so it would be nice if a pointer would have been provided by the nominator. Ottawahitech (talk) 00:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is not policy, but it does tell us what to expect from an AfD such as this one. As far as policies go, WP:GNG and WP:CORP are as close as it gets to a policy on schools. --  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 04:44, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. How is this school different from others listed in the same category?Ottawahitech (talk) 01:18, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:OSE applies. Some of those, like Fleecefield Primary School, look like they wouldn't pass AfD either (and after we've sorted this AfD out, then it might have implications for that one too). In contrast (just an example I happen to know of), Rogiet Primary School demonstrates (and sources) notability for its architecture, more than its educational aspect. It's not a blanket rule that all secondary schools are notable and no primary schools are, but there are few reasons why a primary school becomes notable, and few achieve this.

 * Redirect to List of schools in Enfield, where it is in fact already listed. There is nothing currently in the article that suggests that anything more is warranted - though if a direct relationship with any of the Walkers of Southgate could be established, then that might be worth mentioning somewhere. However, even if something could be established, it would probably be only that the school was named after them, well after their time. PWilkinson (talk) 14:51, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
