Barack Obama Charter School

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Does not meet the criteria for School Notability and there is no claim of notability within the article. Simply a collection of information about an elementary school. Morning277 (talk) 14:39, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm very surprised that a charter school named for a sitting president could be around for years and not get any significant news coverage. I searched the name in quotes in Google, limiting for news, and got no results. Plenty of results without quotes, but they're just news stories about Obama visiting other charter schools. --BDD (talk) 15:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete & Merge to List of Los Angeles Unified School District schools. Subject of article does not appear to be independently notable per WP:GNG and fails School Notability, as mentioned by the nominating editor. School can be listed in the appropriate list, but does not warrant a standalone article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it's actually part of that district. I couldn't find mention of the district on the BOCS site, and the district site only returned a Barack Obama Global Preparation Academy at a different address in a name search. --BDD (talk) 19:56, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

One is Barack Obama Charter School located in Compton, CA opened in 2009 and the second school is Ingenium Charter School located in Canoga Park, CA in 2010. On June 11, 2012, Mr. glen Noreen was appointed Examiner for 2012 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.105.28.56 (talk) 02:09, 20 July 2012 (UTC)  — 69.105.28.56 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete The school is not notable. We would normally redirect it per WP:Common outcomes, but I can't tell where to redirect it. The article says it is in Compton but lists an address in Los Angeles. I was unable to resolve this conflict by searching; the same confusion is present in the information available online. Some places say it is in Compton (normally served by the Compton Unified School District), but many sites list the address in Los Angeles (normally served by the Los Angeles Unified School District). Neither school district appears to list it on their website as far as I could find. We can't just guess where to put it, because charter schools can be anomalous. There are charter schools in California that are not part of any school district, and others that are not part of the district which normally serves their geographic area. We can't even redirect to the city, because it is unclear whether it is in Compton or LA. In the absence of reliable information where to redirect this school, all we can do is delete it. --MelanieN (talk) 05:36, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. A redirect can be created if the correct target for the redirect can be determined. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:51, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage by independent sources. If such sources get added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:32, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect per long-standing consensus with respect to all but the most exceptionally newsworthy elementary schools. Carrite (talk) 18:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
