The Classic Learning Test appears not to meet the notability criteria. According to the article that was briefly at Classic Learning Initiative, the test has only been released in the last three days (Spring 2016). It's accepted at only eight colleges. For those reasons, it isn't necessarily to be expected that it would be notable. As for actual coverage, online, it has few mentions, none of which appear independent (the Initiative's website, job listings, registration information from schools giving the test) except a couple of blog entries that aren't reliable sources. —Largo Plazo (talk) 06:58, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- This is inaccurate. The CLT is accepted at eight colleges and many of these colleges are very notable, such as Thomas Aquinas College, which is rated 30th in the nation for best value. The CLT is referenced on University admission pages which are in no way connected to the CLT website.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeremyTate14 (talk • contribs) 14:05, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but there are no provisions in the general notability guidelines or any of the guidelines on notability for specific types of topic that state that a test is considered notable if it's accepted by at least a certain number of colleges or at least a certain number of notable colleges. There's a general provision that notability is not inherited.
- The university admissions pages aren't independent of the universities, which are using those pages to talk about their own administration of the test. This isn't independent. This is similar to the case of a stage actor who has appeared in productions at 50 different theaters. All 50 of them may have profiles on the actor in their guides to the plays he performed in. These aren't independent, and we wouldn't use them to establish his notability.
- Also, the sentence "Request that your SAT, ACT or CLT scores be sent to Northeast Catholic College." on the page you cited above isn't "significant coverage" of the CLT.
- Significant coverage in an independent reliable source would be something like this article about the SAT. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:16, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
