The result was keep. After two relistings, there's not a great deal of participation in this discussion. Closing as keep per the source provided by User:Doncram and source search link provided by User:Peripitus ([1]) that suggest a significant probability of notability. That said, while AfD is not cleanup, it would be nice for better sources to be integrated into the article. (non-admin closure) NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:29, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable primary school. We don't generally have articles for primary schools unless they are especially notable. Epeefleche (talk) 16:53, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Redirect to Birkenhead, South Australia. It's a valid search term and seems a more sensible solution than deletion - Peripitus (Talk) 20:40, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It does though have a history back to the 1850s (rather ancient for South Australia) and this page indicates a fair amount of activity that would be covered in sources. I think though there is unlikely enough to support an independent article of any substance. - Peripitus (Talk) 20:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changing to Keep. Now that my brain is switched on I've remembered that it would have been known as a 'state school' in the 19th and probably at least the first part of the 20th century. Searching old newspapers with that terminology turns up quite a lot of material. Seems ample to write a good article, and I am sure there is quite a lot more offline at the SA state library - Peripitus (Talk) 10:42, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. the history page mentioned above by Peripitus (itself a source written/updated on 26 May 2011 by Rob Shepherd, Principal, has at bottom a link to [file:///C:/Users/cram/Downloads/The%20changing%20names%20of%20our%20school%20over%20time%20(1).pdf this PDF page], which cites "CHINNER, Errol: School Bells Ringing, Early and Government Schools which served the People of the Port, Hourglass Books, 1996", one apparently valid available source. Given the extremely long and proud history of the school (for its area) and all the historical connections recorded in Shepherd's history, I am convinced that there will be significant coverage in newspapers and histories, probably mostly not online. --do ncr am 02:27, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
