Speedy deletion nomination of Lord Grey Academy

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Lord Grey Academy, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It covers a topic on which we already have an article - Lord Grey School. (See section A10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Lord Grey School, or to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 09:00, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Grey Academy

Hi Russema, And a personal welcome to Wikipedia. I wanted to thank you for your edit to the Lord Grey School and hope you will continue to contribute to the Wikipedia community. Wikipedia can sometimes be a complex place with many rules and guidelines (some of which you will find in the welcome message at the top of this page. I hope this does not put you off. It is a bit of a technicality - when a school or institution changes its name, we do not normally create new articles with copies of the existing text. In order to keep the edit history that is stored with each article, we can simply rename them. We call this "moving" articles. I have therefore requested for your duplicate article to be deleted. Once this has been done, an admin or another editor can simply "move" it to the new name of the school. Once you have gained some more experience and made further edits, the ability to move articles will also be enabled on your user profile. If you have any questions about this or your first steps at Wikipedia, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Welcome again. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 09:11, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Jake. Deleting the page is fine if the current one can be moved. Could you move the page once its deleted ? I looked to do this but as you pointed out I didnt have the ability to move the page.

Sure. I suspect the admin will move the article as part of the deletion. If not, I'm happy to do that. I'll be offline soon for a few hours, but shall pick this up tonight (UK time). _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 09:44, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help.
