[edit] Turnfurlong Infant School

Turnfurlong Infant School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Well, I tried prod tagging, and was reverted. I tried simply redirecting, and was reverted. Here is a very short page on what Americans call a pre-school, utterly non-notable. As I have stated elsewhere, there are on the order of 1,000,000 elementary schools in the world. Sorry to clog up AfD with this. SolidPlaid 19:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as non-notable; it doesn't appear there's much in the way of outside references to this school, and the article does nothing to assert importance. Hopefully Kappa (talk · contribs) drops by to explain reasoning behind the deprod, 'cause there wasn't one apparent in the history. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I've tagged some other infant schools with a speedy delete request, I hope that works so I don't have to nominate any more here. SolidPlaid 20:20, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I would normally only defend secondary schools and higher as they are likely to be more notable, or at least have a notable history. In my opinion, primary/elemenary schools (such as this one) simply don't have a place on Wikipedia, unless exceptional circumstances exist and are quoted/sourced appropriately.

  • Delete It certainly appears non notable. It should be a speedy but if this process is necessary; so be it. --Stormbay 20:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete; NN. Time to start getting rid of the hundreds of non-notable elementary/primary schools that have been added to Wikipedia. Masaruemoto 21:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. So sad this has to be here instead of speedy....Keeper | 76 21:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • comment the reason this is needed instead of speedy is that otherwise we might have deleted the previous entry if the notability had not been pointed out in the AfD. There is no justification in WP policy for using speedy on schools except if the article is a copyvio. What one can do, however, without AfD, is merge to the town or school board.
