Keep. While not actually listed buildings, the earlier buildings do appear on the Northern Ireland Historic Buildings Database[1][2]. I think there's sufficient info there for the school to meet

Merge to
Moneyrea. The subject title here is Monyrea Primary School which was formed in 1961 according to the school's prospectus. Primary schools do not generally qualify for separate Wikipedia articles. The exception put forward by Necrothesp
is based on the buildings extant for Moneyrea National School, located along the road, from which the current school relocated and was renamed in 1961.

If an article is justified it should be under the title Moneyrea National School and concentrate on the buildings architectural merit. Whether the old school buildings are notable enough for a Wikipedia article is debatable as both sources highlighted by Necrothesp state in the evaluation and comment sections that the buildings are not listed architecturally or historically, but do have local interest.

I haven't found anything further to suggest the notability requirements are satisfied. Therefore, unless additional sources are put forward to support notability, my interpretation is that neither

Delete: Per nom. Completely fails GNG, ORG. Sources are primary and BEFORE showed nothing with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. The keep vote is nonsense, if something which might have been located in the same spot is possibly notable write that article, notability is not inherited from buildings that used to be in about the same spot. // Timothy :: talk 07:44, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it is not "nonsense". It's the same school. It has just moved up the road and changed its name slightly. The two historic buildings are still there. The history of the school is noted in the article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:15, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Nonsense. Orgs are not notable because of locations they formerly occupied. // Timothy :: talk 13:27, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  <sigh> I'm afraid you're completely missing the point. It's not an organisation. It's a school that is a direct descendant of the schools that occupied nearby historic buildings. I'm not arguing that the school itself is notable. I'm arguing that the buildings are notable. And it is perfectly normal on Wikipedia to have an article on an institution which includes details of historic buildings occupied by the predecessors of that institution on or near the current site. Even if the current institution is not particularly notable, its buildings may be. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:18, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or possibly merge given the fact that the school itself doesn't seem to be notable. Having articles on primary schools in general is uncommon unless they've received exceptional coverage, which this one hasn't. Fails GNG and ORG as explained above.
