[edit] Dungannon Primary School

Delete on the basis of so many discussions over such a long time. A primary school is never notable simply because it exists, nor even because it has existed for a while. To be notable a primary school must be inherently notable. It is verifiable. All schools are verifiable. It will even have a report by Ofsted, as do all such schools, and this one had a classroom assistant who was awarded "Classroom Assistant of the Year" recently. But none of that is notability. Primary schools are ten a penny. Every school is not sacred. This fails WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information Fiddle Faddle 13:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Education in Northern Ireland. Catchpole 14:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non notable run-of-the-mill primary school, one of many, many, many interchangeable ones. Fram 14:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect to Dungannon per proposed WP:SCHOOLS. — RJH (talk) 15:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep there are plenty of other primary schools in NI listed. A consistant approach should be to keep them all or delete almost all, except the very notable ones. Are Abercorn Primary School or Ballycarry Primary School any more notable?
  • Comment No strong objections to removing them here. JoshuaZ 02:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Verifiable and significant. Piccadilly 22:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I challenge you to prove its significance and to assert it in the article if you can Fiddle Faddle 23:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Primary schools are almost never notable, and nothing about this school is. It isn't particularly known fot its education, it has no notable alumni nor anything else. It has no significant non-trivial sources about it so it would even fail WP:SCHOOL which seems to try to include almost all schools. JoshuaZ 02:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Re WP:SCHOOL - see point 7. Dungannon PS as a history of 100+ years if the parent schools are counted within its history. Counting it out because of a merger would hardly be right? Blowmonkey 15:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Oh, you mean the proposed WP:SCHOOL, which is a terrible proposition, and in particular, the "50+ years of existence" rule, which would include pretty much every school on earth anyway? That WP:SCHOOL? -- Kicking222 02:12, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per... whatever. I'm tired of the school crap. -- Kicking222 02:12, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Carlossuarez46 03:50, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for reasons described at User:Silensor/Schools. The headmaster was awarded as the "Headteacher of the Year" of Northern Ireland as recent as 2004 according to BBC News (now cited within the article). The other two schools, Union Place Primary School and Drumglass Primary School, should be redirected here. Silensor 06:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
