[edit] Westgarth Primary School (Marske)

Westgarth_Primary_School_(Marske) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) -- (View AfD)

I don't believe the Westgarth Primary School (Marske) article should be deleted. If it is a real school and there is valid information presented in the article, it should be allowed to remain as a fact-providing, useful addition to Wikipedia. Perhaps someone could contact the school's administration and suggest they let the children decide what information should be included in the article as a project and lesson in sharing information. Deleting it seems silly if the article is or could be useful. Perhaps the powers that be should focus instead on removing articles that do not provide actual facts or contain facts that are of dubious or questionable origin. Someone, some day will probably search for Westgarth Primary School, and if the school is gone, this small but factual article may be all that remains of it.

• Delete. Schools, especially primary schools, are not inherently notable. I can find no evidence whatsoever that the school has any claim to notability. This may be a candidate for speedy deletion, as the article itself makes no claim of notability (unless one considers the declaration that it is a school a claim to notability; I do not).

• Delete per nom and Srose. It's a directory listing (and barely even a directory listing, at that), and I could find nothing on Google that provided any info to expand the article past a small collection of completely trivial information. -- Kicking222 21:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect to Marske-by-the-Sea. There's less and less in common between WP:SCHOOL and WP:SCHOOLS3, but one thing they both agree on is that schools such as this that do not meet notability criteria as independent articles be candidates for merge and redirection.
