(Possibly) a lack of significant coverage in RS, not sure if it's enough to meet WP:NSCHOOL. A few news outlet sources - I only found [1] and [2] and the article currently cites two Hartford Courant articles from before, and the first year of, the school's lifetime. ~Bluecrystal004 (talk · contribs) 04:56, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete - serious WP:UNDUE issues. Pretty much the entirety of reliably sourced information is about the unrelated institutions that used the real estate this institution currently occupies. It doesn't belong in this article. A possible ATD might be to redirect it to the education section of the appropriate settlement article where telling the story of multiple educational institutions using the same property might be more appropriate. 174.212.228.83 (talk) 05:20, 27 November 2022 (UTC) (I'm trying to strike this vote, but it isn't rendering correctly. 174.212.228.83 (talk) 04:12, 30 November 2022 (UTC))[reply]

  • Keep. I removed all but passing mentions of previous institutions, deleted swaths of text supported only by primary sources, and replaced text with information from reliable, independent, secondary sources. It now meets WP:GNG, having multiple sources providing significant coverage of this subject, without the distraction of copious descriptions of previous schools at that location. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 06:30, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - There's more than enough information and sourcing here. The school has been around for about 20 years. Valadius (talk) 14:11, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Sourcing available satisifies WP:GNG, as it does for pretty much any secondary school in the English-speaking western world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:36, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - well-established boarding school yet without a controversy, refreshing. -- Saintstephen000 (talk)
    • Saintstephen000, an argument that actually applies at AFD would be nice. Neither age or reputation are factors in deletion. Off point !votes are routinely discounted when closing an AFD, so effectively, you've done nothing here but waste both your, and everyone else's time. It pays to read the instructions. 174.212.228.83 (talk) 04:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for taking the time to read and kindly respond with a gentle correction. we will certainly take your well-intentioned suggestions under advisement. Saintstephen000 (talk)

  • Keep - good job. Change my vote per HEYMAN. There's some content issues to work out, but it's notable now. Thanks. 174.212.228.83 (talk) 04:12, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
