The result was delete. Nothing prevents somebody from turning this into a redirect if they feel that's the right thing to do. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Westward School, Walton

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable primary school, and not a plausible redirect to Walton-on-Thames. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:47, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Merge per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Does not seem notable. Mhhossein (talk) 14:53, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Walton-on-Thames per SCHOOLOUTCOMES. – Davey 2010 Talk 21:17, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - I should've paid more attention! - Had the School remained at Westward School, Walton I would've gone with redirect but there's more than 1 Westward School in the world so thus makes a useless redirect, No evidence of notability so will have to say Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 21:54, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

 * draft / userspace There's simply nothing here, so my inclination would be to delete it, whether or not it's notable. As it's an independent, there is a slightly greater likelihood of it being able to in some way demonstrate notability per WP:GNG by the usual manner, rather than just being a simple run-of-the-mill local primary. However there's no sign of that as yet. It is however a new article by a new editor and so I'm happy to give them time to work on it.
 * Redirection seems pointless, as there's little to link it with the suggested target and a redirect to a large topic with no coverage of the redirect subject isn't much use to readers. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:52, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: All of the participants agree that the school shouldn't have a standalone article, however the course of action (there were suggestions to redirect, merge, userfy, and delete) is unclear.

 * Delete - article has been moved to Westward School, of which a cursory google search shows that there are too many to have a primary topic. I don't think that the old title is much more useful either as a redirect, especially since Walton-on-Thames doesn't have an #Education section. ansh 666 04:20, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment - The school is already listed in List of schools in Surrey. FOr the reason given by User:Andy Dingley, I doubt whether this would be a sensible redirect for the current title of the article, but it might be for the earlier one. PWilkinson (talk) 20:03, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
