Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Schools

WP:SDEL

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Schools. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Schools|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Schools. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Nomination for deletion:

I am nominating this article for deletion because it lacks notability and contains very little useful content. The university ceased to exist as an independent entity in 2010 after being merged into Tallinn University. The article provides minimal historical context, no significant coverage from reliable independent sources, and fails to establish why this defunct institution deserves a standalone entry. Additionally, the article lacks encyclopaedic value due to poor structure and insufficient context, making it difficult for readers to understand the subject or its relevance. Any notable information here could be better incorporated into the Tallinn University article.

ᴛʜᴇMᴀɴLK ^(Talk) 23:53, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

comment - I suggest searching "Akadeemia Nord" for sources. Universities rarely fail GNG. For example they wanted to merge into Tartu University etc. Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:40, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Has a number of reliable and independent sources sources. An entry at Eesti entsüklopeedia, articles in Postimees and Õhtuleht, etc. ExRat (talk) 08:11, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - The article is just one sentence, with no sources or context. Even if the subject might meet notability, this version clearly doesn’t. Given the 2010 merger into Tallinn University, merging any sourced content there makes more sense than keeping this standalone stub. 37.139.112.182 (talk) 19:58, 9 April 2025 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE Izno (talk) 20:35, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stage School Australia

The vast majority in unsourced or primary sourced, so I intended to improve the article but very much struggled to find good secondary sources. The school does not seem to fit notability guidelines. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 02:59, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – The article lacks strong independent sources and relies mostly on primary or promotional content. Doesn’t meet WP:GNG or WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Without significant secondary coverage, notability isn’t established. Pridemanty (talk) 06:32, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is not a single independent source cited in the article, which appears to be entirely promotional. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:47, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Punggol Cove Primary School

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The entire article consists of an infobox saying what the principal of the school is and absolutely no other information. I thought it would fit under the A1 section of speedy deletion criteria, but apparently other editors didn’t think so, since that was apparently enough context to identify the subject. Doesn’t seem notable regardless, I can’t find any reliable sources covering this school. ApexParagon (talk) 19:43, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Education, Schools, and Singapore. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:57, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Yeah, I don't think WP:CSD applies, but either way the only coverage I found were more about COVID-19 cases that have a link to this school rather than the school itself, so no notability here. S5A-0043🚎^{(Leave a message here)} 08:28, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above, only routine coverage. Falls short of WP:NORG and WP:GNG. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:43, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Punggol. There's no claim to notability in the article stub, and I can't find any significant coverage. The norm for non-notable primary schools is to redirect them to the school district if there is an article, or to the locale if not. There does not appear to be a school district (perhaps Singapore does not have such things?) but we do have the article Punggol, which lists this school.

Galgotias College

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The only sources here are Advertorials, and routine announcement. I could not find anything that would establish notability of this university except for a news article that talks about clashes happening in the college and about student protests. If that is the only thing that makes the subject notable then, the article should be framed differently and should definitely not be solely about the University in itself. Announcements about events in the university also does not make the subject notable. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 03:27, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Schools and Uttar Pradesh. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:48, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This article doesn't quite reach WP:GNG. Probably should merge this with Galgotias University ZImperator (talk) 15:43, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Re-created following a speedy so bringing here for discussion. I cannot find sufficient sourcing to establish notability for this school. Assuming the non English sourcing verifies the facts, it's not establishing notability either Star Mississippi 01:36, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the education section of the city where it is located, Tangail#Education. It is already listed there among the city's other secondary schools. The article is promotional and based almost entirely on press releases. Searches in English and Bengali found no sources that would justify a stand alone article. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:31, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Tangail#Education per Worldbruce. It might gain enough notability in the near future. ZDRX _{(User) |}_(Contact) 04:02, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per NLIST and WP:SALAT for being too specific. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:35, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was thinking ever since the new article came out that this one was weirdly written and now is redundant. Merge to List of schools struck by tornadoes, which covers an overlapping and broader topic and doesn't have an exceptionally WP:SYNTH-y section of original analysis. Departure– (talk) 15:16, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't even say that list meets WP:NLIST, but that'd be for another discussion. — E_F⁵ 16:16, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP:NLIST, although I wouldn't be opposed to a merge as Departure suggested, it's an overlapping topic and it might have been better for List of schools struck by tornadoes anyway. Sophisticatedevening🍷^(talk) 20:26, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per its falling short of WP:NLIST. A proper merge or redirect article could be a good summary for this discussion too. Unicorbia (talk) 14:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
