Delete. It's still just a primary school, and there should be a pretty high bar for establishing the notability of a primary school, which this article does not do. Not encyclopedic. Rlquall 03:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with school district or locality. --BaronLarf 03:32, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world.

Keep. Good stub, plenty of room for growth. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:54, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge historical details with Ipswich, Queensland and Delete. Usually, any school stub I am inclined to Keep, but this one can effectively be merged into its parent article, Ipswich, with very little work. The article needed more detail to be an effective stub.--Takver 04:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV. First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge. --Unfocused 04:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Normally I'd recommend merging it into a parent article, but a school that's been in continuous operation for 109 years has to be interesting in its own right. Kelly Martin 05:15, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Delete Instutional Vanity, wikipedia is not triviapedia.Gmaxwell 06:15, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Age does not make notability, nor does a whole flock of teenagers who know how to find the internet. --InShaneee 14:41, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 15:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 22:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and allow for organic growth and tender love. All schools are notable by nature. Verifiable and NPOV. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, ergo it is encyclopaedic. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 13:21, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. (1)We don't even have a policy about schools yet, (2)schools are important and should be included, (3)this massive deletion campaign is terrible. Introduce a limit of 3 vfd nominations per day. --Zantastik 22:29, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or possibly merge somewhere, to unmerge if expanded. Kappa 22:22, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
