Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Covenant Academy

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. There was a strong argument made in favour of merging made by at least two editors, but the lack of cited sources and the fact that all available sources seem to be local combined with the "WP:OTHERCRAP" keep argument was enough, in my view, to push the consensus to delete.

Covenant Academy[edit]

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

Unsourced article about a closed school. No indication of WP:notability. Disputed prod. noq (talk) 15:41, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- Just as notable as any other school out there, has sources like this (Where it has a five start rating, granted not very much but still something).--SKATER ^Hmm? 15:50, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, WP:reliable sources and WP:notability. How does this school meet these guidelines? noq (talk) 17:55, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How is this any different from Cave Spring High School or any other school that's apparently notable?--SKATER ^Hmm? 23:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Just because a similar article exists does not justify the existence of this article. I have not looked at the other schools page but it is not relevant to this discussion. noq (talk) 17:55, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Buffalo, New York#Private schools. Generally, articles about high schools tend to be kept, articles about elementary and junior high schools are referred to in an article about the school district or in the article about the city or town for a private school. I hasten to point out that the five star rating is not a certification of any sort, but rather a summary of five parents' comments on the website. Mandsford 16:01, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment News search for "Covenant Academy" buffalo gives 22 hits, of which 5 are unrelated and 16 of the remaining 17 are from the Buffalo News and behind a pay wall. Most of those are passing mentions. If anyone wants to do further searches, the school was actually in Tonawanda, not Buffalo proper. David V Houston (talk) 16:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Aside from schools with a large national level award (Blue Ribbon Schools), primary schools are not kept. Merging is only relevant if the locale wants to include a writeup on closed schools. Since there's no cited information, just delete. tedder (talk) 16:25, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article before the school was closed last year would not have been notable. The article cites no sources, with a quick search I was able to round up a few, including a ranking as a top 50 school in western New York, noting this is a local award. However, the sources do not indicate notability for a primary school as they are incidental and local in nature. Article may even be eligible for Speedy Deletion.
