As a nominator, I would choose to Delete this, this article has been promoting itself for a year until the editor removed it last month due to the heavy promotion, lack of references and not notable. 49.148.236.71 (talk)

Delete. No claim of notability and I cannot find references to add. Tacyarg (talk) 01:00, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As a high school, it's probably notable. This article's last paragraph at least confirms that the school exists, and has a basketball team. So does this. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:49, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

yeah the school exist but the first article you mentioned was a player itself not a school plus the second article i agree it is about school but the sources came from competition and nothing more sources to be found on this school as a notability it doesnt pass WP:GNG. 49.148.166.42 (talk) 07:56, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, it looks like it covers both college and primary/secondary school. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:17, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. per Tacyarg. Superabnoxious (talk) 08:59, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I found exactly 32 sources online, all of them unreliable; I can't even verify it's a high school. Bearian (talk) 18:33, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as it's a degree issuing college as per this translation, thanks, Atlantic306 (talk) 18:42, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Available sourcing is garbage, and I'm not convinced that the snippet from Atlantic306's link actually indicates what he thinks it does, that bit at the bottom could easily be a story about one of the faculty's degrees. I also wouldn't click on that link, as it is 'trying to load unsafe scripts' according to Chrome; thank me later. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 04:39, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:ORG guidelines for notability -- unable to find even one significant, verifiable source for it -- everything I can find is unreliable or makes no claim of the school's notability. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 20:24, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep and rename to Holy Child College of Davao add alias for Holy Child School of Davao, the name of its primary/secondary school prior to becoming a college. It is mentioned as one of the 40 colleges in Davao City "In higher education, there are already nearly 40 colleges in the city like Assumption College, Davao Doctors College, Holy Child College, Holy Cross College of Davao, Calinan and Sasa, San Pedro College and Philippine Women's College of Davao to name a few." [1]. It's also mentioned as one of the colleges participating in Davao City's University Fair. [2] and also on a list of schools that increased tuition [3] Right now it looks like mostly WP:ROUTINE coverage (lots of sports stuff and some academic contests) but considering it covers three campuses and primary and secondary schools (both junior and senior high), this may be like the Brokenshire College one as a "district". Here's an article about it adding some iPads for their Early Childhood Education programs. [4] Bio says it started as a day care / learning center in 1981, then added primary school recognized in 1986, and then high school established in 1989. It established as a college in 2001.

- The alternative, should it not meet WP:WITHIN, would be to retarget to List of universities and colleges in Davao City AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:24, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  I could definitely get behind merging and redirecting. I think the coverage you listed is all pretty routine, and doesn't quite rise to the level of notability. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 18:13, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Another article about the college starting a Criminology department [6] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:23, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
