Delete. Non-notable school. Also, primary schools are generally not given their own article. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 18:48, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a non-notable elementary school. Or redirect to Palmerston North, New Zealand if there would be any value in that. Carrite (talk) 19:23, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Non-notable primary school. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 20:30, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - blank, and redirect to List of schools in the Manawatu-Wanganui Region#Palmerston North City where it is already listed. There is no policy or guideline that primary schools are inherently notable, but as redirection is often a preferred solution: Sometimes an unsuitable article may have a title that would make a useful redirect. In these cases, deletion is not required; any user can boldly redirect to another article (policy), non notable schools that are proven to exist are generally not deleted; instead, according to long established precedent demonstrated by 100s of AfD closures, and summarised in WP:OUTCOMES, an objective essay that "is intended to supplement Wikipedia:Deletion policy", they are redirected to the article about the school district (USA), or to the article about the locality, or to a list article. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:34, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the template on the redirect page as it populates an important category. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:34, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or Delete. This school -- with zero independent gbooks hits, and three passing mention gnews hits, lacks the RS coverage that would -- in light of precedent -- support notability such as would lead us to keep it as a stand-alone article.--Epeefleche (talk) 22:11, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
