 * Keep. It teaches Basque language.  This is not a random pop thing;  it would have been created towards addressing heritage of Basque sheepherders and other immigrants in the Idaho area, which is unusual for America but someone "from Paris" might not be aware of.  No mention of wp:BEFORE being performed.  Size of the school is not particularly relevant. --Doncram (talk) 17:58, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You may not have noticed but I am not originally from Paris and I am also a pilotari so do not try and suggest that I am biased. Dom from Paris (talk) 19:48, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Boise, Idaho where a sentence exists for the school and can be expanded to a single paragraph. There's not much else to say about it besides what can be summarized in a few sentences. It's also not called "Basque School of Boise". It's called Boiseko Ikastola AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:26, 20 July 2018 (UTC) updated 22:13, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing there. Where it is stated that this is the one and only Basque language school outside the Basque country, which is a strong claim for notability.  This source there is an excellent, substantial source, explaining about the Basque government explicitly supports this school. --Doncram (talk) 18:47, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * And the other source there goes to the school's website, whose history page has substantial information, including the statement it is the only Basque language pre-school outside the country (maybe there is a school at some other level?). About merger, the Basque community in Boise is covered in three sections of the Boise article, and it would be appropriate for there to be a link from each one of those, better than repeating a paragraph or two about this school and its creation in each of three places there, plus repeating in other articles like one needed for the Basque Block. --Doncram (talk) 18:53, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you find another secondary source for the school that gives significant coverage? It's a passing mention in Los Angeles Times  This Al Jazeera America article might work:  This one's by Blue Review but it's more of a blog  Boise Weekly has a passing mention  Euskalcultura has a passing mention   AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:35, 20 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep, thanks to User:AngusWOOF for pointing out the school's name in Basque. This enabled a search that turned up WP:RS coverage, some of which I have now added to the article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:21, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If it's to be kept around it should be rename to Boiseko Ikastola, and it needs to be organized better as many of the sentences are redundant. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:10, 22 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - it's one of a kind and for that reason this school is probably notable. Bearian (talk) 21:56, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm striking my vote above as there have been enough news articles to make it a stub. I would suggest someone rewrite it to make it a coherent stub. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:13, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - sources available to meet WP:GNG for this unique school. Just Chilling (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
