Fayston Preparatory School

No evidence of any notability. No independent sources. Preparatory schools are very rarely notable and this is no exception. I draftified the early version but the author has decided to move it to mainspace without any indication of notability. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 14:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

 * There is plenty of citation for the document. It is factual info describing school, just as many other schools do the same. Can you give constructive criticism because citation exists? 20240318wiki (talk) 14:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

 * I'm writing to request reconsideration of the deletion of the Fayston Preparatory School page. Established in 2010 in Yongin, South Korea, the school's notability is underscored by:
 * - A Grand Prize in International Education from the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea in 2022.
 * - The AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award in 2023.
 * - A top ranking in the 2023 Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest, highlighting its academic excellence globally.
 * These achievements are well-documented in reliable sources, demonstrating the school's significant contribution to education. Additionally, FPS's innovative curriculum, integrating personalized learning with advanced technologies, represents a noteworthy educational approach.
 * I propose enhancing the article to better meet Wikipedia's standards and am open to community feedback for improvements. The school's recognitions and educational advancements contribute valuable information to Wikipedia and I believe, with adjustments, the page can comply with Wikipedia's notability criteria.
 * Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to any guidance or feedback.
 * Best,

 * Comment There seems to be a reasonable amount of independent coverage on the school in the Korean language (google "페이스튼 국제학교"), but kinda difficult dealing with this user it seems. I don't want to validate this editing behavior by voting keep. The existing article isn't very good in the first place; maybe someone else can come along another day and take a shot at writing this article. toobigtokale (talk) 03:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete the bulk of the sources are the school's own website and text like "Fayston Preparatory School has been distinguished by several notable achievements that underscore its commitment to educational excellence and innovation" is just blatantly promotional. This is an advertisement masquerading as an article. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your personal thoughts. I have to respectfully state that if your comments are true, then many of the articles on wiki about international schools need to be deleted as well. These are based on cited evidence and the article is open to constructive feedbacks, but your claims are what is ungrounded. 20240318wiki (talk) 21:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 09:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The school's accreditation codes can be verified, and references to the national assembly award are corroborated across multiple translated articles. These aspects add credibility to Fayston Preparatory School, supporting the case for retaining the article.

 * Delete mainly based on primary sources and not enough sourcing to meet WP:NSCHOOL. LibStar (talk) 09:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Most of the sources are the school's own website, which doesn't help towards establishing notability, per WP:INDEPENDENT. One of the other two is a mere mention in a table indicating that a team and two students did well in a maths contest. The remaining one ('Power Korea') isn't independent coverage, being largely what the headmaster said. Not sure of the notability of the Korea Education Industrial Awards. SPA author likely has a conflict of interest, has not responded to the COI warning on their talk page, and may be operating two accounts. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:32, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment the term 'preparatory' can be confusing as in the UK it means a primary school (seldom notable) but in this context it seems to mean college-preparatory school, preparing students for university. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:36, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
