[edit] Notability

I'm not sure that this article is notable as per Wikipedia:Schools. Cordless Larry 08:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

You are absolutely right (even if Wikipedia:Schools is no longer in effect). See new section below. --B. Wolterding 19:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please establish notability

The notability of this school is currently not established.

Not all schools are notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. The applicable guidelines state as the primary criterion:

"A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of secondary sources."

That is, there must be independent publications (newspaper articles, scientific work, or other reliable sources) about this school for it to be notable. Currently, no such sources are cited. In fact, notability is not even claimed; that is, the article does not even state what makes this school more notable than other schools.

Please add such sources to the article in the near future. Maybe there are relevant newspaper reports about the "No hurting school" concept, or other press coverage in a national paper?

I understand that a lot of work has been done on this article since the notability warning tag was placed in last September. I am resetting the date counter for now. However, if notability is not established, the article might be deleted from Wikipedia in the future.

Sorted as part of the Notability Wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 19:22, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
