The result was delete. Consensus is sourcing does not rise to the level required to keep this. If someone wants to actively work on this in draft space and dive deeper into potential sources, I'm happy to provide it. Star  Mississippi  00:39, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Christ Church Girls' School, Barbados

The article has been referenced to nothing but primary sources since it's creation in 2010, I couldn't find anything in a WP:BEFORE when I looked that would help for notability, and in the meantime schools are not inherently notable. So either someone needs to find multiple, in-depth, secondary reliable sources about this or the article should be deleted.

 * Comment It may be easier to find sources for the same school by two prior names; Kingsland Girls' School and Providence Girls' School. The school is over 300 years old, so there probably are some to be found... I don't have time right now, but will get back to this soon. Jacona (talk) 18:51, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It's frustrating, but I'm not finding sources online. They probably exist in print, but my search skills aren't up to finding them. Jacona (talk) 20:57, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1898 is not 300 years ago. &#9786;  Uncle G (talk) 23:11, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep I have added a couple of sources from Barbados Today and Nation News, which is a state-owned news company and considered reliable in Barbados. The school is quite old and dates back to 1898, though initially it was both boys and girls girl until separated to just girls school. But am sure with the sources I've added it should be somewhat ok, sources in barbados don't cover everything as it's still a developing country and very few publication houses. Regards.

 * Unfortunately none of that is even close to meeting the wp:Significant part of the GNG. It just shows that the school exists. The Barbados Today article just shows that there are vaccinations at that venue. One of the Nation News articles doesn't even mention the school other than a photo taken there, and the other just says a return to school is delayed. wp:ORG isn't met at all.

 * Being in Barbados isn't the trouble. Barbados has documentation of its education system going back to the 19th century, in Barbados Year Book issues, government reports, and all sorts of stuff.  There's plenty of material on the Christ Church Foundation School, for example.  The cause is nothing to do with the country and everything to do with this being a primary school rather than a secondary school.  There are a lot more in-depth sources for secondary and tertiary education in Barbados, and not much for primary education.  I couldn't find anything confirming this school's self-professed history, for example, although the secondary school(s) did get in the way a lot.  Uncle G (talk) 23:11, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
