Feltre School

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

nominated on behalf of IP: Non-notable private adult school. Fails GNG, as there's no indication of coverage besides one incidental mention in a local article about adult education. Prod contested without any improve to the article. User:69.181.249.92 (talk) 19:52, 8 August 2010 (UTC) Jezhotwells (talk) 21:43, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Many editors belive that schools have inherent notability, see Wikipedia:Notability (schools), which is a failed guideline. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I have tidied the article a little. One cite was already there, though not properly formatted. I found another and GNews indicates further coverage behind pay-walls. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:13, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - All secondary schools are notable. Carrite (talk) 17:54, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But this isn't a secondary school — it's an adult school. Also, even if it had underage students, I would think the general consensus for giving secondary schools a free pass extends, at most, to officially recognized secondary schools: that is, a school which attending stops one from being considered truant under local law. --Closeapple (talk) 21:53, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Its website says "The Feltre School is a nonprofit private and independent school that provides returning adult students the opportunity to enrich their lives". It appears to be an adult-education establishment with no evidence of accreditation, and that is not something that Wikipedia consensus presumes to be notable. Therefore, WP:ORG, WP:GNG, and/or WP:LOCAL. ~~It appears to fail those, unless someone can come up with additional major coverage.~~ --Closeapple (talk) 21:53, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: WP:ORG actually states: An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. I think the sources that have been added adequately satisfy that criterion. Perhaps you would consider examining them? Jezhotwells (talk) 23:19, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks better: Weak Keep because of new Colista and Bertagnoli references (in article) being evidence of substantial coverage in WP:RS. (I can't get to Smoron page to see if it's a substantial treatment for notability; the others seem to be non-substantial for notability.) --Closeapple (talk) 04:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sufficient sources to meet WP:GNG. TerriersFan (talk) 00:30, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep - there's more than enough references to unaffiliated sources to satisfy WP:V and therefore WP:N. elektrik SHOOS 07:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Eletrik, plenty of sources and coverage. --Stickee (talk) 10:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
