The result was redirect to Harrogate#Education. The consensus (delete + redirect !votes) is against the existence of an article about the subject. No convincing objections have been raised to redirection as an acceptable alternative to deletion. So redirect it is. Mkativerata (talk) 09:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Primary school. Appears to be non-notable. Delete (w/redirect to whatever makes sense would be fine) appears to be in order. Epeefleche (talk) 20:10, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This topic appears to be notable as it is documented in detail in "reliable independent sources" such as this. Our editing policy is to keep such topics. Warden (talk) 22:15, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

England and Wales have over 16,000 maintained Primary Schools. All of them have to have an Ofsted report. The presence of such a report is not evidence of notability. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 15:19, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No assertion of why this school is actually notable. A search of the net provides next to zero coverage that could be used to grant notability. Ofsted report is produced by virtue of the school existing and is not a demonstration of notability. In reality it contains very little useful material for an article.

Delete It certainly exists, but then so do I, and I don't have a WP article. Notability not established.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 23:45, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Run of the mill; routine report from government agency is not "significant coverage." Neutrality^talk 03:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Harrogate#Education. Non notable schools are generally not deleted; instead, as demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, they are redirected to the article about the school district (USA) or to the article about the locality (rest of the world). --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:39, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the {{R from school}} on the redirect page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:39, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable.Fails GNG. Redirect might be preferred if it was enshrined in a guideline or policy. But it's not unfortunately. It's just custom and practice that's grown up that is unsupported by anything official. Let's delete and move on. Might encourage acceptance of a decent notability guideline for schools.Fmph (talk) 10:18, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
