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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

Previous AfD was closed as no consensus despite having no keep !votes at all. A non notable former university that was only briefly open and was, importantly, a small private university. Thus the relevant SNG is WP:NORG, and so we need sources that meet WP:ORGDEPTH and also independent as per WP:ORGIND. Such sourcing does not exist. Attempted a redirect as suggested in the last AfD, but that was reverted, so here we are. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 21:22, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG is enough, but I don't think the coverage in the article now, or that found in the previous AfD, is enough for that. Peter James (talk) 10:55, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: I have added some content and references. More than I would like is local newspaper coverage, but it's also been discussed in Parliament and in a research report, and the local coverage is still independent and significant secondary coverage.

• Keep - multiple news agencies covered the school's anniversary, which along with its status as the first kura kaupapa in the region is more than enough to demonstrate notability IMO. Turnagra (talk) 21:27, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  There are more references but they may fall into primary categories, but we can use them in the article.

• Merge with Mohi-ud-Din Islamic University. Appears to be the medical college of the University. From the sources above and my own searcing I see at least two RS pieces with SIGCOV dealing the college: The Express Tribune discusses a student protest at the college in 2011 and Nawa-i-waqt, largest Urdu language paper in Pakistan, reporting on a 2021 protest at the college. In 2013 the Express Tribune reported the college was barred from accepting students, along with other institutions. However, there does not appear much more than this - most of the sourcing cited to date is directories or not reliable. Sourcing does not justify WP:OKFORK, WP:NOPAGE applies.

Eight Schools Association (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

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

The ESA is an association of wealthy college-preparatory boarding schools in the Northeastern United States. I am concerned that this page does not meet WP:GNG because there is minimal direct coverage from outside, reliable sources, based on a review of Google News, Google Scholar, and the Wikipedia Library (inc. EBSCO and JSTOR). In addition, the material in the article (based primarily on sources and data from the member schools) suggests that the ESA has not been very active since 2013. Several members of the association attempted to start an athletics league, which used to have the Wikipedia page Six Schools League. The SSL page was deleted in July 2024 via WP:PROD, as there was no evidence that the league ever began play. I don't think there was any substantive discussion about the deletion then.

As far as I can tell, the only meaningful discussion of the ESA by an outside source appears to be a 2018 book about campus planning by architect and Princeton administrator Robert Spencer Barnett with photos of the ESA campuses. In his preface, the author states that "limiting the scope [of the book] to this group may seem overly restrictive," but "these schools embody most of the opportunities and challenges that exist at peer institutions."

Other than that, specific descriptions of the ESA in outside sources have generally been limited to offhand mentions in articles about member schools.

• A 2015 Associated Press article about St. Paul's School (New Hampshire) that briefly refers to the ESA "a sort of Ivy League for prep schools."
• A 2019 Quadrant Magazine article by William Rubinstein noting that Edward Said attended Mount Hermon, an ESA member. Rubinstein says that the ESA is "the American equivalent of the Clarendon schools including Eton and Harrow," without elaboration.
• A 2011 Fast Company article about member school Choate, which states that the ESA is "an alliance of posh - and highly competitive - New England prep schools."
• A 2007 article in Education Week saying that the Concord Review student journal is trying to get the ESA schools to subsidize the journal's continued production, and calling the ESA "a group of elite private schools in New England."

In addition, on February 6, I left a notability tag and a message on the article's talk page requesting help finding additional sources, with no response. Namelessposter (talk) 18:43, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  My concern with that article you linked (which is already cited on the Wikipedia page) is that it's a piece in one of the member schools' student newspapers, so it's not exactly an outside source. It's also from 2010 and the scale of the ESA's work appears to have dropped off significantly since then. Namelessposter (talk) 20:05, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete I think that while the article does contain content, the overall notability of the subject simply isn’t there as I can’t really find any coverage relating to it so I think that it should be deleted. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 14:48, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To check articles which are being proposed for deletion search by date at Category:Proposed deletion or see the summary of PRODs at User:DumbBOT/ProdSummary. It is common to find schools of all types on this list.
