[edit] Light Christian Academy

Non-notable. Only 8 students, none (no less enough to make the school itself notable) are mentioned as having gone on do do anything particularly noteworthy, and none are noteworthy enough to even be mentioned by name. The method isn't particularly noteworthy, as it's mostly just A.C.E., which has its own article. If this school someday inspires many similar schools that are cumulatively different enough from other ACE schools and otherwise noteworthy, this one might then become notable as having been the first. But until and unless that happens, it's non-notable. Icarus 04:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete nice article but VERY NN School that only have 8 students so that even makes it more nn --JAranda | watz sup 05:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep at all costs. This well-written article is a perfect example of the dangers of subjectivist notability demands from "those who routinely nominate and vote to delete school articles". Number of students in an educational facility is clearly not a standard whereby we can determine the suitability of a school article. Is 30 students enough? 100? 1000? 4000?--Nicodemus75 08:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Change vote to abstain. I stand by my comment, however the "school" here is indeed unverifiable (the school under this name I found in the Philippines turns out to be a different institution, albeit almost equally small even though both are located in Quezon). An unverifiable school can't have an article just to make my point about numbers of students.--Nicodemus75 19:06, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm the person who nominated this article for deletion. For the record, I have never nominated or voted on any vfd for an article on a school (before this one, of course). So this isn't just a case of someone nominating school articles. --Icarus 03:43, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete based on lack of verifiability of information. I will change my vote if the problem is fixed. But, at the moment, it is to great to justify the article's existence. --rob 09:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: I still can't verify this "school", but based on this this It seems that "Light Christian Academy" is just a group of homeschoolers who are apart of the Florida based "Lighthouse Christian Academy" remote/distance "school" (which is part of the ACE organization). So, aside from being unverified, it doesn't even seem to be a separate "school". Of course, I can't verify this, or anything. --rob 10:52, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• While a very small number of students may actually help a schools notability in my opinion, I'll have to vote delete based on it being unverifiable. A group of homeschooled people does not a school make either. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• delete, vanity, non-notable, non-verifiable, stuff like this give school articles a bad name. --Isolani 13:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unverifiable. ESkog | ^Talk 15:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unverifiable and non-notable. The only Google are mirrors of it's current Wikipedia entry. Perhaps if a Wikipediean in the Philippines could supply a newspaper article?--inks^T 20:42, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn school. Dottore So 21:50, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Correction: "nn room". No school is being deleted here. No proof a school exists has been shown. While I'm sure it's not another hoax, it's still not shown to be a school. --rob 22:13, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Unverifiable and non-notable ... Now if only I could figure out what the hell it is Soltak | Talk 23:50, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless something is produced to verify the article. Christopher Parham (talk) 07:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, advertising. --Last Malthusian 10:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless references added before end of AfD. JYolkowski // talk 00:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Just because an article does not have references doesn't mean its erroneous or made-up. User:Matthewprc 11:49, 19 October 2005
  • Sorry, but we can't have blind faith, and can't beleive things that are unproven, just because somebody makes a claim. Unverifiability alone is grounds for deletion. But, I feel it's now been verified almost proven that this organization does *not* exist as an official school based on the government's master list. --rob 04:46, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  • On second reading, I can't prove 100% this thing doesn't exist as a licenced school, though I don't think I have to. --rob 04:53, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok, now I just learned that NCR means National Capital Region, and Quezon City (though no longer the capital) is apart of it. The above "master list" only lists NCR schools. But, presumabely that aught to include this one. --rob 05:38, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I didn't nominate it for being unverifiable, I nominated it for being non-notable. Even if it could be proven that every single fact in the article was absolutely true, I'd still have nominated it on the grounds stated at the top of this page/section (depending on how you're reading it). --Icarus 03:43, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
