This bloated article is a hugely embellished list of schools which fail WP:NSCHOOL with few references. Rather than an article it's a brochure, and a potential WP:COATRACK. Fails WP:GNG and is WP:ADMASQ 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:11, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: A great deal of unreferenced/bloat material has been expunged. It is now far less of an advert. Nonetheless it remains a failure of WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. The purported references listed above are interesting. None of those I have checked meet the criteria for references which assert and/or verify notability. I have encouraged the poster of that list to edit the article on their user talk page. So far without result. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 10:46, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The topic seems notable enough to me. Plenty of sources. Satisfies WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:20, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:00, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - The subject has significant coverage from independent sources. Chekidalum (talk) 18:16, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Comment: Government spam is indistinguishable from propaganda, so much so that they might be the same thing. Bearian (talk) 02:00, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- I might be naïve but I don’t think that the Nigerian government cares about what anyone thinks about their chain of secondary schools; it may be so in the US or Canada but not so in Nigeria. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 07:33, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
