Pinnaroo Primary School[edit]

Contested CSD. I know that school articles can be contentious, ergo, I brought it to AFD. Technically a procedural nom, but my personal opinion leans towards "delete". Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 04:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I saw this at CSD too. A 70 student school + no independent sources = non-notable. Spellcast (talk) 04:50, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No claims of notability or references which assert notability. This is just another primary school. --Nick Dowling (talk) 10:26, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ Merge. I've found quite a few references through health and Mallee area sites. The school is frequently mentioned as being the first in South Australia to have a Community Library [1]. The school is an integral part of the community and the library also houses the local Telecentre for community as well as school use. Distance education is integrated into the classroom for subjects such as music (which many small country schools miss out on entirely) using the technology from the Telecentre. I've seen so many small country schools close it's a bit notable in a way to see one (apparently) thriving (although the school website hasn't been updated in a few years). The article itself is poorly written and presented but could be fixed quite easily and refs added. I'm happy to take that on if you can give me a few days. •Florrie•leave a note• 12:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Pinnaroo town page doesn't have a lot on it. The school article could easily be merged there. Again, with tidy-up, refs etc.•Florrie•leave a note• 13:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Pinnaroo, South Australia. This school judging from location would be one of the few public buildings in the area and so would have other uses, but is itself not notable enough for an article. (See the coverage of Glendale Primary in Hamersley as an example.) Orderinchaos 14:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to Pinnaroo, South Australia. Article as it currently stands does not address notability. Alansohn (talk) 05:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Pinnaroo, South Australia as above. The school itself doesn't have anything more than local notability, but the information may be useful in the town's article. Lankiveil ^{(complaints | disco)} 12:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]
