Non-notable school. Schools are not automatically notable, and there is nothing to indicate that this (relatively small and relatively "new" primary) school meets the WP:NORG or WP:SIGCOV guideline. To the extent that it is any more notable than the 3,300 other primary schools in Ireland. A news search of the Irish Times [1][2] returns zero results). Not one. Searches of the Irish Examiner [3][4] return only one passing mention (in an article which is substantively about another topic). The de-PROD note suggested that notability might be inherited from the school's association with one notable former pupil. And that the article might "give Niall horans fans information about his primary school". I do not see how this argument sits with either WP:NOTINHERITED or WP:TOPIC. (In that, if someone wants to know where Niall Horan went to primary school, they can visit the Niall Horan article. Otherwise, everyone (ideally) goes to school somewhere. And notability doesn't transfer from a pupil to a school.) Guliolopez (talk) 22:45, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Even before the 2017 RFC, primary schools have never enjoyed any presumed notability. Sources mentioning it's existence don't show notability, and a single pupil cannot gift it notability. Ironmatic1 (talk) 23:30, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Ironmatic1. It's ridiculous to say a primary school is notable just because a notable student went there. I'm not seeing anything else to base notability on either since sources for this are essentially none existing. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:58, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I now understand that this school is not notable and that there's no reason for it to be on Wikipedia sorry for wasting your time Collbot7789 (talk) 20:53, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. It happens. AfD is a de-defacto way to improve articles as much as it is a way to delete them. So within reason it's better to make the mistake then not since you never know if people will be able to find references that were missed initially. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:04, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - and speedy close as even the author says it isn't notable. 174.212.212.60 (talk) 03:04, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
