Connecticut Friends School

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Contested PROD; non-notable private pre-school whose only claim to fame were plans of buying and renovating the White Barn Theatre. No actual significant coverage of the school was found. Why? I Ask (talk) 20:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - Ordinarily, I would advocate for deletion because we don't keep preschools. But this one has three potentially reliable sources, including the one from NYT, which I listed on the article's talk page. The school actually was K–8 until 2015, when finances forced it to fall back to the preschool, ages 2-5. If only as a cautionary tale, it may be worth reviving. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 03:36, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect - The only notability of this institution, which isn't particularly old and was never a secondary school revolves around the White Barn Theatre. Redirect it there per WP:ATD. BTW, I removed the prod. It wasn't contested, it was fallacious. 174.212.227.234 (talk) 21:03, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect - I agree, the sourcing is sparse, and the the school is already referenced in the White Barn Theatre article. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 21:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have to oppose the redirect. I understand the spirit of WP:PRESERVE and whatnot, but I find it doubtful that any reader will either use this redirect or find its target useful. Why? I Ask (talk) 21:55, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * See Redirects are cheap. Since the it has been our practice to redirect public school elementary and middle school articles to their respective school districts; for this private school, the redirect could point either to White Barn Theatre or perhaps to Education in Norwalk, if we choose a target parallel to the way we have treated public schools. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 01:02, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I would be fine with a redirect to that section in Education in Norwalk, Connecticut. That seems like a better redirect than the theatre. Why? I Ask (talk) 01:41, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Education in Norwalk, Connecticut, where the school is described with due weight. Jahaza (talk) 05:15, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Education in Norwalk, Connecticut, where it is mentioned, Atlantic306 (talk) 05:51, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested. I might have said delete, on the basis that a pre-primary school is almost inevitably NN.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:52, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
