Alder Coppice Primary School

Non notable primary school Pally01 22:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per the new WP:SCHOOLS. Being under Ofsted special measures means it IS the subject of a reliable source independent of the school itself (ie the Ofsted report). Notability is a fairly wooly concept - clearly if a subject is covered by such sources then they consider it notable, and (IMHO) therefore Misplaced Pages should too. Cynical 22:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or Redrirect to Sedgley. WP:SCHOOLS says it has to be the subject of MULTIPLE non-trivial sources. TJ Spyke 22:50, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete few if any primary schools are actually notable. Every single school in the country has an OFSTED. Guy 23:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom Nigel 12:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Jesus f**king christ, if we start keeping every primary school, I might quit WP altogether. -- Kicking222 13:35, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Jesus f**king christ, if we start deleting every primary school, I might quit WP altogether (actually that's pure hyperbole, like the comment above). Most, if not all, primary schools are actually notable (but notability is purely subjective and thus has no real meaning). Let's make wikipedia into a useful encyclopedia by including articles on every possible subject, including every school on the planet. --JJay 15:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, according to WP:SCHOOL most schools in the UK meet its criteria for having a separate article. As welll, see User:JYolkowski/Notability for why lack of notability is not a reason for deletion. For those that don't want this school to have its own article I would recommend looking at editorial actions such as merging, instead of deletion. JYolkowski // talk 15:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge/Redirect to Sedgley per proposed WP:SCHOOLS guidelines. It doesn't merit an entire article page in its current form. If it is expanded in the future the page can be forked off. — RJH (talk) 19:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
