Based on the premise that primary schools are not inherently notable, this totally unsourced article was redirected to its locality in the manner evidenced by the hundreds of junior school articles handled this way and documented in the cat. 'R from school'. This school fails WP:ORG,its age and notable alumni not being elements that lend notability to elementary schools. Thus the community should have its say.

• Redirect to Primary schools in Singapore per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES To be honest, the school is borderline notable here (although this may be a personal reflection in this case), and it shares a history with Fairfield Methodist School (Secondary). However the article is a magnet for COI editing and promotion. I personally do not see a good reason to keep this article and I would suggest a redirect here. The history section can be adequately covered in the article about the secondary school. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:53, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

• On looking further, this particular school actually is not really the same as the older school with the same name. So I don't see any claim to notability now. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 15:51, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

• Keep. I understand User:Kudpung is referring to the article before it was cleanup-ed, but currently I believe that it meets WP:ORG and even WP:GNG, and possibly even satisfies WP:V. As an author of the article, I believe there are now multiple reliable sources that contain significant coverage about the school included in the article that have been added. Given that the school has been in existence for nearly one hundred and thirty years, and was the first Methodist School to go co-educational, I think the age and history of the school warrants it notable. Besides, in recent years there have been plenty of press coverage about this school, which lends support to it having its own article. Additionally, I believe its previous school building would let it fall under WP:NGEOG, though it would need to be expanded. Gs97 (talk) 16:27, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

This is not the same school as the original methodist school. This school itself is not that old. It is run by the same society and can be though of as a successor but it is definitely not the same school. Accordingly NGEO can only be applied for the buildings associated with this school itself, not the previous school. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 16:34, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect as the Keep vote, I presume, is not keeping to mind or considering how there has been explicit consensus stating that primary schools themselves are not automatically kept as their own article. Thus, with all of this said in the past, there's nothing to keep, but can in fact at least be relinked elsewhere. SwisterTwister talk 05:46, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
• Redirect to Primary schools in Singapore per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES as primary schools are not presumed to be inherently notable. WP:PROMO is also a concern, so a redirect (perhaps after "delete"), makes sense. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:21, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
