Primary schools are almost always not notable. Nothing elevates this former school. Clarityfiend ( talk) 01:53, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. Nothing? That statement is demonstrably false. Didn't you read the source? It's a grade B listed building with Historic Scotland of architectural interest. They didn't put it on the heritage at risk register just because it is old. Philafrenzy ( talk) 10:13, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - Meets WP:GEOFEAT as a listed building. There is also coverage in this reliable source. Sarah-Jane ( talk) 11:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Delete(Keep - I misunderstood the use of the term, sorry) As per above, it is a listed building, although the article should be for the building, not the former school that has now left. RailwayScientist ( talk) 13:24, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- In that case all that is needed is a page move to clarify the subject as the content of the article is mostly about the building.
Sarah-Jane (
talk) 13:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Even a page move isn't needed as the correct name of the building is Holmlea Primary School as that is the name used by the sources even if the building is no longer used as a school, per Common Name.

- Indeed. In any event, "wrong name" is not a valid argument for deletion.

- Just to clarify, I am not suggesting it should be moved (as you said, the sources all refer to it as Holmlea Primary School), just that it would be a better solution to their complaint than deleting it. I probably could have worded it better.
Sarah-Jane (

- Very kind of you to clarify, but your wording was fine. And I agree that Holmlea Primary School is the best name, per Wikipedia:Article titles. Edwardx ( talk) 17:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

- Keep. Grade B listed building, the second highest category - meets WP:GEOFEAT. It being a former primary school is irrelevant. Edwardx ( talk) 16:55, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. as above, clearly meets criteria for notability, with sufficient reliable sources employed. Drchriswilliams ( talk) 20:12, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
