Bridge School (California)

This does not seem to be a diploma granting school, but some sort of special education center. As such, it needs to meet ORG, which from all apperances it doesn't. John from Idegon (talk) 06:23, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * A Gnews search for "Bridge School" + California certainly produces a lot of results for their high-profile annual benefit concerts, though not the school per se. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:48, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 *  Delete Keep This school is K-grade 8. Based on common outcomes it needs coverage meeting either GNG or ORG (inclusive OR). Current sources are almost all not independent. Searches find plenty of coverage of related fund raising concerts. Those I've read have only brief mentions of the school itself.  Happy to reconsider if better sources are found, for now it fails both GNG and ORG. Gab4gab (talk) 16:02, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, or possibly merge. The annual concert series is probably notable in and of itself; there's hundreds of sources about the series in reliable sources, some of which do discuss the school's educational activities as well, e.g. .  There's so much coverage that it's difficult to wade through for other coverage about the school's activities, but I have found a few such items. Here is a 2001 Computerworld article about the school winning an award from that magazine; it doesn't even mention the concerts or the Youngs.  In 2006 San Francisco State University gave honorary degrees to Pegi and Neil Young for their work for the school, which SFSU described as "an internationally recognized model that not only teaches students in Hillsborough, but conducts cutting-edge research shared with professionals across the nation."   In any event, the article could use some reshaping and cutting to make it sound less like a brochure.  Another possibility might be a redirect and merge to Pegi Young where the school is discussed already. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:41, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
