First of all, the article is misnamed. The Schooled here refers to two television specials that first aired on ABC Family in 2006 and then on The CW in 2007, which were then distributed in DVD format. A WP:BEFORE search revealed this Variety (magazine) article[1], which clearly states that the specials were outright promotional ventures commissioned by OfficeMax to boost sales at the start of the school year. The creator of the article (now inactive) is in all likelihood a fan of The All-American Rejects who were the main performers of the CW special. It is not an independent album by the band. The article fails under both WP:NTV and WP:NOTPROMOTION. TheRedDomitor (talk) 06:05, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is literal primetime paid programming, and seeing that it aired on a Sunday there's no doubt its ratings were incredibly low (and the performances were likely of the mimed lipsync to the album track variety). No N now or then. Also going by the 'plot' of that special I feel pain that the kids and teachers of that school had to do that all...for school supplies.
