Hasn't had any sources since 2009. The term itself doesn't seem to be notable, and whetever information is there can be merged to Canada/Australia/UK specific articles. Can just redirect to primary education which seems to be the more common term. Hydromania (talk) 07:26, 28 June 2019 (UTC) Note past discussion here which resulted in the redirect of Elementary school. Hydromania (talk) 07:28, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - "Junior school" indicates the education received after infants school, whilst "primary school" embraces both infants and junior school, so they are not synonymous. As an example, my primary school was divided into an infants school and a juniors school located at the same site. In other cases the infants school and the junior school may be independent of each other. Sources are easy to find, e.g.: 1 2 3 4. Passes WP:GNG. FOARP (talk) 07:47, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS - very obviously a discussion from 2007 with two comments, which was anyway nothing to do with an article about junior schools, is not very persuasive as to what should be done with this page. FOARP (talk) 08:01, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:V, sources are only required for quotations or controversial facts. There are numerous books written about various aspects of junior schools and so the topic is notable per WP:NEXIST. See also WP:ATD and WP:BEFORE. Andrew D. (talk) 10:29, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? WP:V clearly states everything needs a source. Quotations and potentially controversial statements need inline citations. Hydromania (talk) 05:12, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, FOARP is absolutely right, infant and junior schools are separate in the UK and other countries. A whole class of schools that are part of the mainstream education system of several countries is clearly going to be notable. The redirection of elementary school is not a valid precedent; that was done on the basis that it was a synonym. SpinningSpark 21:38, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - refers to a specific type of school and is an important and notable concept. Just Chilling (talk) 17:48, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
