Proposed deletion of St Mary Immaculate Catholic Primary School
The article St Mary Immaculate Catholic Primary School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Primary schools are rarely notable, this seems no different. Small school, completely unencyclopedic article and lacking secondary sources to meet WP:NORG or WP:GNG.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.
If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. AusLondonder (talk) 17:15, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
