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.

Article about an educational institution, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for educational institutions. As always, educational institutions are not automatically entitled to have articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to have WP:GNG-worthy third party coverage about them -- but this is "referenced" entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability, with not even one reliable or GNG-building source shown at all.
It also warrants note that a WP:SPA with a direct conflict of interest ("Gitm" right in their username) recently tried to rewrite this as a highly advertorialized promotional spiel that was overflowing with superfluous bolding of practically every word -- but even after reverting back to the version that existed before Monday, there's still some advertorialism ("GITM offer the best transport service to the student" -- best according to what objective third party source unaffiliated with the institution's PR department?) lurking in it.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the institution from having to cite any reliable sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 14:39, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Not seeing a WP:GNG pass for this private school in Tennessee. Sources are:
- The school's own publications/websites/channels and thus not independent ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6])
- Online directory/database pages ([7], [8], [9], [10], [11])
- Regurgitated press releases (article, identical release, [12])
- An article in the Christian Chronicle, which is affiliated with the school's denomination and thus not independent.
- A random link that doesn't validate the claim it purports to.
- A WP:TRIVIALMENTION on the school's accreditor (and thus not independent) [13]
- Other WP:PRIMARYSOURCES: [14], [15].
I didn't find any other GNG-qualifying sources in my WP:BEFORE search. The page creator unilaterally removed maintenance tags for notability, promotional language and third-party sourcing without coming close to addressing the problems, so rather than edit-war over a tag, I am going to AfD as the next step. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:54, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Schools, Christianity, and Tennessee. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:54, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- While I acknowledge that many of the currently cited sources are affiliated with the school or its denomination, there are also independent, reliable local media sources covering Clarksville Christian School that demonstrate its notability. For example, Clarksville Now and The Leaf-Chronicle have reported on CCS’s accreditation milestones, scholarship achievements, and athletics, providing substantive coverage beyond routine directory listings or press releases. Additionally, local news outlets have covered CCS events and student accomplishments in a way that goes beyond trivial mention.
- I am actively working to incorporate these independent third-party sources into the article to strengthen its verifiability and comply with WP:GNG. I respectfully request additional time to improve the article with these reliable sources before any deletion actions are taken. GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:02, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- Also you could have taken these concerns to my talk page before taking this step. GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- (You could also have taken your perspective to a talk page before unilaterally removing the maintenance tags on a page you created. Your removal of them is what prompted me to do a WP:BEFORE search that turned up no qualifying sources.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- Those articles I saw in my BEFORE search; they all appear to be based on or just reprints of press releases from the school. I have not seen anything that constitutes WP:SIGCOV in an independent, reliable, and secondary source. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- I hear what you’re saying about the sources, and I understand the importance of meeting WP:SIGCOV. That said, I think tagging or taking further steps without any prior discussion — especially when some effort was clearly made to include sources — feels a bit premature. A quick note on the talk page could’ve opened the door for collaboration rather than escalation. I’m still open to improving the sourcing if better material exists, but I think we should be careful not to rush into cleanup actions without first giving editors a chance to respond.

- @Dclemens1971 I have cleaned it up. Any other things that need to be changed? GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:44, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- I still don't see any sources that support notability. The Clarksville Now piece appears to be based on a pair of press releases from the school ([16], [17]) and the Leaf-Chronicle link is to a "subscribe" page. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:53, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- Well, I changed it a bit more and I believe that the article is good and is notable enough. I will have to see other opinions, and will respect the outcome. GatewayPolitics (talk) 04:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- I would say the Leaf-Chronicle article is independent WP:SIGCOV of the school but the Austin Peay State University piece isn't; it's focused on its alumnus Hassell and trivially mentions the school. That's one source toward GNG; remember, we need multiple GNG-qualifying sources. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Upon a WP:BEFORE search and by also analyzing the article's current sources, I see no reliable, significant secondary coverage found about the school (per WP:GNG), which means that there is no real reason to assume that the school warrants its own article. Article has already been PROD'd before and contested back in 2015, which means that AfD is the only option available here. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 23:05, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

- keep 99 years old Alliance High School in Kenya is not just any high school: it is the first in the country to offer education to African (boys) [18] and as such, has an important historical role. Its educational content and its influence on Ngugi wa Thiong'o (recently deceased) is analyzed at length in article Ngugi's Colonial Education: “The Subversion… of the African Mind” (2014)" from the perspective of colonial education. It relies on numerous sources, of which "Carey Francis at the A.H.S., Kikuyu", from Kipkurir B.E.Biographical Essays on Imperialism and Collaboration in Colonial Kenya and numerous issues of The ASH Magazine. If The Alliance High School and the origins of the Kenya Africa Elite, 1926-1962 is still unpublished [19], The history of the Alliance High School (1973) is still in libraries. --Pa2chant.bis (talk) 07:56, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

- Merge into Wilmette Public Schools District 39. I found these [20] [21] [22], but I find it unlikely that they add up to establish notability per WP:NSCHOOL or are enough for a fulfilling encyclopedic article. Tarlby (t) (c) 19:46, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Why judge whether or not the article is fulfilling enough for an encyclopedic article? Your decision seems awfully speculative, and I think it's worth noting that this wikipedia page is being worked on by a few friends as a project. Why can't we construct it first and see if it's enough to be an encyclopedic article? What's the harm in waiting? Caeryllium (talk) 03:15, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- All content in an article should be based on a collection of reliable sources that prove that the subject is notable, meaning that those sources must prove why it's significantly different from other schools which makes it worthy of an article. So far, two of the article's sources provide run-of-the-mill facts or statistics, and the other is a primary source. From the sources that I've found from scowering the internet, I've deduced that there is simply not enough information from sources to make a good article. We can perhaps include that information in the school district's article, which is why I !voted merge and not delete, but it probably won't stand on its own. Tarlby (t) (c) 03:23, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect - to the school district per above. WP:GNG is clearly not met, and that's not surprising as lower schools seldom do. Rather than deletion, if possible we should always try to find an alternative. For US public schools, that's generally a redirect to the school district. This is the longstanding practice for less than notable public schools. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 22:27, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Upon search, I don't think that the school is notable enough to warrant a standalone article. As far as my search, I don't see any reliable, secondary coverage, and the current state of the article also primarily cites their own website. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 14:49, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Like this one is a well-known in Rangamati. Additionally, this is the first & oldest school in CHT. Notable alumnis also studied here. WinKyaw (talk) 15:20, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- The school doesn't have secondary, reliable coverage though, as you said in your reply. As @Hannes Röst said, just because a school exists, it does not automatically confer any notability onto the school. The school needs to be notable enough to warrant its own article, and the school clearly does not pass WP:NSCHOOL at this very moment. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 03:13, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

- delete there is no indication of passing WP:NSCHOOL, there are no secondary sources that I could find in books that go beyond trivial coverage. There are some sources on a formar headmaster but mentions the school in one line. The arguments of User talk:Somajyoti and User:Win Kyaw boil down to WP:SOURCESMAYEXIST which is not sufficient. Similarly the fact that notable alumni have studied here does not make the school notable by itself. @User talk:Somajyoti and @User:Win Kyaw, please see this RFC which was discussed in great length and concludes that High schools are not inherently noteable and that reliable independent WP:SIGCOV needs to exist for them as well, which I dont see here. There simply isnt any coverage that we could use to write an article. --hroest 20:27, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete does not meet WP:SIGCOV, and has no relevance in the broad encyclopedic perspective, not passes WP:NSCHOOL. Simply, if a school is known in local area (most probably by students and their guardians), it is not encyclopedic. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 09:34, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

See this report in Business Day and this source linked in the article [26]. There is some coverage in this book spanning almost a full page 282.

I was just looking at these mountain of sources: on Google Scholar, Google books, Archived newspapers, and news websites. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 22:24, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Those are not sources ABOUT the college, but are mere passing mentions in some academic citations. Nothing in your so called "mountain of source" [sic] makes this notable. Iljhgtn (talk) 01:55, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Iljhgtn, please show me the sources that are not reliable or independent. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 19:41, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Looked at them again, tell me please which of them ARE in fact good for establishing notability as reliable and independent! There is no way this article passes GNG. and it has NOT been "greatly improved since...nomination" at all. Iljhgtn (talk) 20:37, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

- Weak Keep: The article doesn't seem to violate WP:PROMO as a whole, and it seems to have enough content and references to merit keeping it. The issue is there isn't much legitimate notability, a simple google search leads to less than 1 page of results. Ashwin060 (talk) 23:33, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

There is nothing to salvage here. It uses only primary sources. Whatever sources are available online are mere trivial mention. So this cannot be merged as well. I would suggest a deletion or a redirect to List of colleges affiliated to the Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 21:02, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect/merge to LNCT University - seems the institution is actually LNCT (Bhopal) Indore Campus per [27], as the address matches there, and primary links on LKCE article are actually with LNCT. No apparent indication that this is (directly) connected to Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow Dl2000 (talk) 21:38, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

- comment Public universities are usually found (but not presumed) notable, because they are large, often old organisations with publication output and a public profile. They need to meet WP:GNG. This one doesn't, but it is not wholly invisible. There are news reports like this one [28] which won't do for writing the article. It gets passing mentions in a few books etc. May just be TOOSOON becaue it is very new and is also very small for a university. Can we find a redirect target as an ATD? I was going to !vote as a weak delete, but I'd rather find a merge or redirect target. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:09, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Founded nine years ago, it's not surprising that there's not a lot of coverage. Since this university only has undergraduate degrees, it's what would probably be called an agricultural and technical college in the United States. They were, before the Covid-19 pandemic, planning on adding graduate degrees, but there's no evidence that it's happening. They have had, as far as I can see online, a single research paper published. There are a few news items on Google news. So I'm leaning towards a keep. Bearian (talk) 22:31, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Article is about a private academic/educational organization. There are only 3 sources: and all 3 are from the organization's own website.
Hence, no independent sources, therefore fails the WP:V and WP:Notability requirements.
Log says that an article of the same name was deleted in the past, but I cannot find that older AfD. Noleander (talk) 13:11, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- This is a well-known independent institution in Hong Kong. Multiple local news agencies have reported findings of such institute which they are well cited.

- This institute has been cited hundreds of times on Jstor. [29] Their polls are regularly covered in the news, e.g. SCMP: [30][31][32], NYT: [33][34][35][36]. They are also called variations like "the Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies at Chinese University" or "Hong Kong Institute of Asia Pacific Studies" (no hyphen) or the abbreviated "HKIAPS". I haven't found sigcov yet but I am not sure if meeting the GNG is required here; similar to our standards for academics and newspapers, I think the bar should be lower here. Toadspike [Talk] 07:22, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- Btw, the previous deletion was a speedy under WP:A7 from 15 years ago. [37] There was no AfD and that speedy deletion, being a content issue and not a notability issue, should have no bearing on the outcome of this discussion. Toadspike [Talk] 13:40, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
