Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wildwood Christian School

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete No sources were provided, which means that the deletes discuss the actual article, while the keeps talk about a possible article, and general principles. As closer, I took the actual article as the basis, and judged the value of the opinions wrt policies and guidelines, making deletion the only logical option. Deletion does not mean that no article can ever be written about this subject, only that with what we have currently available, in the article and after five plus days of AfD, no article with any verifiable notability is possible.Fram 14:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wildwood Christian School

Wildwood Christian School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Private school of around 70 pupils. Article doesn't provide any reliable third-party sources to establish notability or to back up the text, which is mostly original research from (presumably) a pupil. Has been unsourced since some time last year. I've done a search for sources, the only non-directory one being the school website, which gives no further evidence of notability.

• Keep A secondary schools with a distinctive curriculum. Needs references (and re-wrining to diminish the promotional tone). Essentially all high schools will prove to have sufficient notability if adequately investigated. It would be appropriate of us to just say so as a matter of course.

• Weak Keep The article makes specific claims of notability for the school's program and curriculum, and the facts that it is private and has a small enrollment are no impediment to notability. Alansohn 17:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep on the assumption that adequate sourcing can be found, although Google News and Google News archives searches weren't helpful. I think it's safe to assume local newspapers would have at least a few articles giving more than trivial coverage of the school. It is not reasonable to assume that no independent, reliable sources exist for even this small organization. I have to say, though, that a small, private school with apparently little available independent information on the Web is the least likely to show improvement, compared with any other school articles. The school's own Web site is undergoing reconstruction, so I think we should be lenient for now about verifiability problems. I rewrote the Shakespeare in a Week section to take out the boosterish language there. Noroton 17:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
