Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Schools

WP:SDEL

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Schools. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Schools|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Schools. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Bashir Uddin Adarsha School and College

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

PROD contested because "numerous incoming links indicate potential importance". There are numerous incoming links because an editor created the massive navigation template {{Colleges in Dhaka}}, which links 120+ schools and colleges to each other. The links are no more an indicator of notability than membership in Category:Education in Dhaka is.

Fails WP:NSCHOOL as it meets neither WP:GNG nor WP:ORG. Searches in English and Bengali found only indiscriminate lists, social media, and job postings, no significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Worldbruce (talk) 19:47, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Education, Schools, and Bangladesh. Worldbruce (talk) 19:47, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I also looked for sources and could only find this about a similarly named person as the school's founder, but I don't think it's the same person due to the age difference. I also went to the Bengali Wikipedia and searched for the school, and couldn't find it. TheDeafWikipedian (talk) 20:07, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Police Lines School and College, Rangpur

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

No doubt a fine school, and an article that contains a nice picture, an infobox, and even an audio pronunciation of it's name. But not a notable topic. The only source containing significant coverage is the school website.

Searches of the usual Google types in English and Bengali, as well as searches of ProQuest Central and East View's South Asian Newspapers archive, found sources that fail WP:ORGTRIV, but no sources that are simultaneously independent and in-depth.

Redirect to Rangpur, Bangladesh#Schools as WP:ATD. Broc (talk) 16:37, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - notable school and college in Rangpur city. In Bangladesh institutions doesn’t get much coverage in the medias but the popular ones get coverage after their evaluation results and “Police Lines School and College, Rangpur” has gotten that. We shouldn’t delete this article.

— Cerium4B —Talk? • 16:23, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A source about only one specific facet of a school does not provide significant coverage of that school. Coverage such as that in Barta24 is a single factoid. It does not address the topic of the school in detail. The coverage fails WP:ORGDEPTH. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:02, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trinity Christian School (Morgantown, West Virginia)

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

I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this school article, and added a ref. I don't see WP:THREE instances of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, however, and don't think the school meets WP:NCORP, WP:GNG or WP:NSCHOOL.

At least Weak Keep. Ideally, I'd like to see more in depth coverage from sources from further away, but there's a lot of documentation and enough I could find from other newspapers in the state.

There are also hundreds of more routine sports articles, which actually makes it difficult to find the more in depth ones Jahaza (talk) 23:48, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete as private school it will have to pass WP:NORG and I dont see any substantial in depth coverage from multiple independent sources. There is some coverage from a single newspaper but a lot is run of the mill and not in-depth, one single source is not multiple and trivial coverage of sports events does not constitute SIGCOV. --hroest
Weak keep - compared with most independent schools, this seems to get a lot of (at least local) media coverage. Bearian (talk) 17:17, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

National Insurance Academy

I don't see any sources by which to judge the school to be notable, with WP:NCORP being applicable to this private business institution. The sole reference in the article seems to be lost, but based on its title ("NIA: 100% placement with highest package of Rs 10.5 lakh per annum") and what had been referenced to it, it seems to have been a PR-push.

Weak Keep The prior deletion is sufficiently old; I believe it now qualifies under WP:NORG. It is a governmental unit of India created in 1980.
