Unreferenced article about a school that does not establish the notability of it, written like an advertisement. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 07:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete does not assert notability (unless "it is one of the best primary schools in the Bridge of Don" counts) and does not appear likely to be notable. --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: It's not clear to me (and others may disagree with me) that schools count as "organizations" for the purposes of WP:CSD A7. - Revolving Bugbear 18:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment - schools are explicitly exempted from CSD A7. TerriersFan (talk) 21:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment - thank you for pointing that out. I've changed my vote to a standard delete. --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete promotional, conflict of interest, non-notable. Should it turn out that the school is notable, this article is so poorly written that it would be better to start from scratch. Aipzith (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge the factual content to Bridge of Don. Dump the POV. • Gene93k (talk) 11:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletion discussions. —Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re-direct to Bridge of Don - Does not appear notable enough for its own article, so simple and cheap re-direct is appropriate. I decline to speedy delete the article - school article deletions are controversial, so it is better to let the AFD run through. Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect per Camaron. CRGreathouse (t | c) 20:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/redirect to Bridge of Don - this could have been done without an AfD. TerriersFan (talk) 21:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • This Article has been put up for deletion? Why? I have read the comments and the article itself and believed it was very accurate. I attended Scotstown Primary School for 7 years before being transfered to Bridge of Don Academy. For the people who wrote the comments and asked for it to be deleted, I think it is unfair to write such comments as you have if you have not experiance the place yourself. So, have any of the authors of the 'deletion' articles ever been to Scotstown Primary School or the Bridge of Don or even Aberdeen? If you have you can write such comments if not I think you should retract you comment until you have seen it yourself. If this article is so bad you should write one your self! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.201.202.130 (talk) 11:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
