consistant. An article should not be deleted arbitrarily, when almost all similiar articles are kept, merely because of the "lottery" of who shows up at AFDs. Participants in each AFD should look at the general past practice. Deletion should be based on policy, guidelines, and precedent. This allows contributors to know, in advance, what they should, and should not create; thus avoiding wasted effort. --
404:: Thus bringing us back to the beginning. An article ought not be kept arbitrarily because of "precedent". A list of what succeeded and failed in the past is no indication of the merits of this individual article. Until there is a policy in place, school articles need to be considered on a case-by-case basis, asking ourselves the question
391:
Where is the policy page that says we keep all municipalties, regardless of size (note: there are pages that mention it, but not as policy per se)? Precedent comes from a collection of individual decisions, and doesn't have to be written in one spot. Following precedent allows us to attempt to be
378:
There is no such policy and no such precedent. I've asked repeatedly to be pointed to the policy page that says this and nobody has done so. School AfDs are case by case. By all means present arguments for keeping individual schools, but do not cite nonexisting blanket decisions for all schools,
82:
inherently notable, and elementary schools even less so. Until there is an agreed policy on schools, each article ought to be considered on its own merits and in this case there appears to be none. No basis for notability, importance, or encyclopedic value are evident in this article.
325:. I also disagree with the nom regarding the improvement of the article. Adding a cat + stub + link = improvement. Without the cat, the article would be difficult to find. In the future, the nom may want to consider adding stub + cats to articles along with prod/AfD templates. --

that I nominate this, knowing the division out there about schools, but I do so only because the prod was removed without any reason or improving the article in any way. Schools are

How the heck is a secondary school different from a primary school? The people that were last years primary scholars are this years secondary ones, so they serve the same people...

this is a primary school for which unlike high schools no precedent has been established as of yet so judging this individual school on it's merits I would say it is NN.
