Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba

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

Secondary schools are not notable on there own and there is nothing else in the article to establish notability the article doesn't make note of anything notable but does provide sources to support some basic information about the school. See this discussion for the deletion of other articles that follow this same format. Articles_for_deletion/Federal_Government_College,_Ganye. Not sure if this is important or not but it appears that these articles were made as part of a contest with gift cards as prizes. Previous articles from this contest were deleted Federal Government College, Ohafia and Federal Government Girls College, Zaria. This might explain why so many of these articles were produced so quickly.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 07:23, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep — I’ve been staying away from this mass deleting contest between you and Mccapra without doing a proper search. I have been able to find sources about the school (crisis, achievements et cetra) without stressing it.

Ask me to provide more and I will; including books and government annual report. Best, R E A D I N G Talk to the Beans? 09:45, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Hey @Reading Beans, before I nominated these articles I did look for sources. I do this for every AfD, PROD, and page patrol. That said it does appear that I missed a couple for this article. I went back and retraced the searches I used and was only able to find the sources that were already in the article. I was able to find your sources using a Google News search. I went back and checked the other articles that I nominated and wasn't able to find anything that wasn't a list, a dead link, or a passing mention. So most of these articles still don't satisfy WP:ORG. You're much more knowledgeable about this area than me and are much better at finding sources then I was. I know a lot about psychology and plants but not a lot about schools in Nigeria.
 * The way I see it we have some options here going forward with all these articles.
 * Proceed with the AfD for the articles that can't pass notability and keep the ones that can.
 * Tag the current AfDs that we think might pass notability WP:NSCHOOL, withdraw the AfD from those articles and then send them to draft to be worked on.
 * Merge all the articles, including the previously deleted ones into one large article WP:NHS.
 * I promise I'm not trying to be a jerk and I genuinely thought that these articles (including this one) were eligible for AfD in part due to the mass deletion of all the other schools. If you have any other ideas for what we should do going forward I'm all ears.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 00:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * , I am a typist for a secondary school in Nigeria and during this exam period, I am usually busy and barely have time to find sources. All I ask for is for proper scrutinisation before nominating (we all make mistakes). Continue doing your great job. Best, R E A D I N G Talk to the Beans? 17:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Reading Beans, for the articles that were PROD'd, you can request restoration at WP:REFUND should you find new references for these articles. Liz Read! Talk! 06:13, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep There is not much content but that is not a reason to delete; the other articles were deleted but they were not all from the same sources. This was one of a group of proposed deletions I looked at and most of the sources were incidental mentions or related to incidents rather than coverage of the school; I did not object to most but opposed two - Federal Science and Technical College, Orozo (significant coverage enough to be taken to AFD instead of PROD, but only from one source) and this, with multiple significant sources which suggest that it is one of the more notable schools of its type.
