Ascend International School

Non-notable private school. Fails WP:ORG. Essentially no coverage. Pepper Beast   (talk)  23:36, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. I've added sources, with some that pass WP:GNG. Because this is a non-profit private school, WP:ORG (which says, The scope of this guideline covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, religions or sects, and sports teams) is not required, but WP:GNG is the guideline to use.. (See WP:NSCHOOL) Three sources that meet GNG requirements are from Uniform Application, Newsweek, and Education World. Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 22:23, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  23:40, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Since all of the sources are either extremely trivial, primary, or otherwise not of usable quality. Except maybe the Newsweek article, but it's a school top list that only talks about the school in 2 paragraphs that aren't really that useful. That said, I think someone could just as easily argue for a weak keep. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:33, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment the Newsweek item has the heading "Sponsor Insight", ie, it's a piece of paid "journalism" and as such, doesn't establish notability.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  11:39, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Fair enough,, I had missed the heading "Sponsor Insight", so that's a good catch. I've returned to adding content and identifying articles with independent, reliable, significant coverage.
 * Under WP:SIGCOV, Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. I believe 3 articles clearly pass that bar:
 * Education World
 * UniformApp
 * The Times of India
 * Three additional articles give "more than a trivial mention" but Ascend International School is not the main topic of the source material:
 * Graduate School of Library and Information Science, iSchool at Illinois has a focus on a young librarian planning the new school's collection, with information about the school's plans for gradual addition of grade levels.
 * The Indian Express reports an investigation into the grant of a "concessional" land deal with Kasegaon Education Society (KES), the foundation sponsoring the school.
 * Mumbai Mirror describes the admissions process for schools with IB curriculum, citing the school as an example of "schools that can’t afford to be cocksure" in competition with more established IB schools.
 * Cheers! Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 03:41, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment UniformApp also appears to be paid content.   Pepper Beast    (talk)  14:25, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thanks, I just found "Simplify and grow your admissions" on the UniformApp website, so I struck it from the list above. There are still two solid sources and 3 additional sources that are more than "passing mentions", qualifying under WP:SIGCOV. Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 20:41, 26 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep I can see few articles that talks about the school. And above comment by Grand'mere Eugene. DMySon (talk) 13:11, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
