  • Keep I have added some further information and references to the article. This school opened relatively recently and so, for example, a commendation of the architecture was reported only two weeks ago. Of some significance, it is a newly-built gaelic medium education school in a country where this language had suffered a decline that had almost been terminal. Some of the coverage of this school is in local newspapers, although articles in the Stornoway Gazette and The Oban Times are examples of local papers based in areas that are beyond where the school itself is located. There are a couple of articles about the school that were published in the Press & Journal, which is a regional newspaper title. There are multiple articles about this school that were published on the BBC News website, a national source of news. This coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources satisfies WP:NSCHOOL.

  • Keep per Drchriswilliams great rescue efforts mentioned above. The claim of being a purpose-built Gaelic school means it is notable, and with the sources it appears to pass WP:NSCHOOL. Mdann52 (talk) 21:22, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
