 * Either plain delete or merge with Quakers Yard, where it is. Primary Scholls are generally NN.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:16, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The building pictured is there. That hasn't been the site of the school for some years, now.  Uncle G (talk) 11:03, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * keep The subject as a school is clearly notable. It is notable for the same reasons any other school is notable. This school over many years has worked to create thinkers which makes it inherently notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.17.102.92 (talk) 06:33, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia does not consider all schools inherently notable. Please review our notability guidelines. This school would be notable if -- and only if -- it were the subject of substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. If you have found such sources, please add them to the article or present them here. Thanks. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 07:34, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please read WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES  Catfish  Jim  and the soapdish  09:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It would be difficult for us to determine that for a school in Scotland. This school is likely notable through thousands of people, the standard reason any school is notable. As opposed to going by this form of notability, we should be looking at the fact that if a student does a search and their school comes up on Wikipedia, maybe they will feel more seriously about it. Every little bit helps. This is a moral matter as opposed to anything else. Julser1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julser1 (talk • contribs) 12:24, 13 January 2013‎
 * The "standard reason any school is notable" does not apply here. On Wikipedia, most schools below high school are not notable. As a result, we generally redirect them to their school district's article (if there is one) or the government level they serve (city, town, etc.). Wikipedia does not exist to serve any particular conception of morality. Wikipedia does not exist to encourage anyone to feel any particular way about anything. Wikipedia is about gathering and summarizing verifiable information about notable topics. Anything else simply does not belong here. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 17:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It's sad to observe AFD commentary based upon not even reading the article at hand. This is a school in Wales, not Scotland.  Getting such a fundamental thing so obviously wrong will serve to completely undermine whatever argument is based upon it.  Uncle G (talk) 11:03, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Merthyr Tydfil. Non-notable primary school. Fails WP:GNG. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 19:08, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd ask "Why not Quakers Yard, as above?" were it not for the fact that the school has been in Aberfan for two and a quarter years now. Julser1 didn't read the article at hand to see that this is actually Wales, not Scotland.  But others haven't read the only externally linked WWW page in the entire article to see that the article, with its pretty picture and two sentences of content, is basically incorrect on almost every point except the headmaster's name.  Even the picture is wrong.  This isn't the school building, nor the address of the school.  And Ynysowen is not in Aberfan.  Uncle G (talk) 11:03, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
