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.

The Circle School

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

I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this article about a small private school, and added two references. I cannot find more coverage, however, and I am not sure the local newspaper coverage is independent, as it relies on information from the school and refers readers to the school's website. I don't think that WP:GNG or WP:NSCHOOL is met. Tacyarg (talk) 20:01, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - What is the status of a "democratic school"? A for profit private school would need to meet WP:NORG but if this is not for profit, then WP:GNG will do. I definitely don't see sources meeting WP:ORGCRIT and thus NORG, but it would be good to clarify that. Thanks. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:05, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pisa University System

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

The article is about a nonexistent entity. The three universities mentioned are located in the same town and do cooperate to a certain extent, but they do not have a central organization. Wikipedia does have articles about university systems, but those refer to organizations with a central governing body, such as a president or a board of directors. All the information on the page is about the three institutions individually, and the "official page" is actually a page on the website of one of the institutions, containing only generic information about the town. I performed an Internet search and did not find any site jointly managed by the three institutions. In an image search, the logo appears only on Wikipedia and an anonymous YouTube channel.

Kallar Kahar Science College

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

This article's pretty much built entirely on primary sources. If it weren't an educational institution, it would've been an easy A7 speedy delete. But since A7 doesn't apply here, I'm bringing it to AfD instead. Junbeesh (talk) 11:55, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The article meets notability requirements under WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and WP:General Notability Guideline. The college has been the subject of multiple independent, reliable news sources:

In 2013, it secured all top three positions in the Pre-Medical and Pre-Engineering groups in BISE Rawalpindi's HSSC results. (Dawn, link)
In 2018, a student from the college achieved first position again in the BISE results. (Geo News, link)
The institution has also been covered by 24NewsHD following a transportation incident in 2025. (link)

These reliable, third-party sources demonstrate that the college is independently notable beyond its own promotional materials. I have added verifiable references, improved neutrality, and rewritten the article to comply with Wikipedia content policies. Unknown (talk) 12:10, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Week Delete or Draftify: I found some source, but definitely not an independent source, the content lacks significant coverage and for an educational institution, it’s necessary for an article of such to be covered on multiple reliable sources, that been said, any of the votes can go.

Fravashi Academy

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

Unable to find any coverage that is bylined and independent apart from routine coverage of school council members, exam results and toppers. Fails GNG. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 10:27, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Schools, India, and Maharashtra. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 10:27, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Fravashi Academy is one of Nashik's oldest and most reputed private schools. It has been extensively covered in local and state news, demonstrated by the multiple news items in prominent and reputed news sources, like the Times of India, as you mentioned, on its results, toppers and school events. Further, in terms of notability under WP:GNG, the school has been recognised at the national level, having set a record acknowledged by a third-party institution, the India Book of Records: (https://indiabookofrecords.in/india-book-of-records-honours-the-largest-choir/). The presence of multiple independent, non-trivial sources indicates clear notability. Additionally, news about a potential buyout of the school also gained coverage from several national newspapers and news portals (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/education/kkr-backed-eurokids-in-talks-to-buy-nasik-based-farvashi-school-for-about-rs-227-cr/articleshow/76122944.cms?from=mdr). While the article may benefit from more inline citations and formatting cleanup, deletion is wholly unwarranted. The subject clearly merits inclusion. GoldenPhoenix123 (talk) 16:41, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Results, toppers and school events are routine coverage. Even if we consider the Economic Times source, we would still need two more. India Book of Records is neither reliable nor independent and the fact that the record isn’t covered by any other reliable news media shows how unimportant it is. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 13:34, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The school and its affiliated Trust have been covered in the news: (HC restrains govt from acting against Nashik school). Further, its alumni include a chess grandmaster and former Captain for the Indian chess team, Vidit Gujrathi, as well as several prominent Bollywood actors and directors— Sayali Bhagat, Shashank Khaitan and Saiyami Kher. GoldenPhoenix123 (talk) 16:43, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage of a court case involving the school’s trust is a press release. As for alumni, even if they’re notable individuals, a school's notability requires reliable, independent and substantial coverage of the school, not just a list of who studied there. We'd still need at least two more solid, independent sources with significant coverage focused on the school itself to meet the guideline. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:00, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article has only two sources, and is pretty much completely (!) unsourced and chock full with original research. There would be a good case to restart and TNT in its current state. Concur with Bakhtar40 in that there are practically no sources available and no significant coverage outside the school's own primary web materials. GuardianH 13:46, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the National Schools system are selective-admissions, special funded, and administered schools in the Philippines. This school in particular has gotten significant coverage in books and the media. Bearian (talk) 11:22, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There were 6 books search hits. Three were government sources about laws appropriating the school its budget, as it is a national school and is financed and controlled by the national government. Financing this school is on every annual national budget, so if Google Books has copies of the national budget or the Congressional Record starting from 2004, there'd be 21 such instances. I do not think that counts as WP:GNG. Two seem to be biographies about authors (not WP:GNG for the school per se), and the other seems to be a bad hit.

There are five media sources. These looks to be (1) 6 Valenzuela schools getting computers, of which this school is one of them, (2) back to school news with the same old problems (not specific for this school, FWIW), (1) some student from this school winning an award (not WP:GNG for this school per se), and (1) students from this school going to the public library for national library day (you could argue this to be WP:GNG for the school, the library, or both).

Hold. While the current article may lack sufficient sourcing, this university is a notable institution in Gujarat.

Delete The article does not demonstrate significant coverage in reliable, independent sources as required by WP:GNG. Most references are either affiliated with the university, promotional in nature, or lack depth. Without substantial independent sourcing, the subject does not appear to meet notability requirements for educational institutions WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, and inclusion risks violating WP:NOTDIRECTORY.

Putting the article back in Draft might be helpful to improve the page.--FreaksIn 15:19, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
