When responding to reporters’ inquiries, Principal Chen Weijie shared the school’s teaching style, interview tips and models.

 * Reply, promo, interviews, all obviously based on the same info/source, nothing above show WP:SIRS or notability, they just show marketing at work. Nothing wrong with promotion, but it doesn't equal notability.  // Timothy :: talk  12:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I did not find any evidence of the sources being "based on the same info/source" since they discuss different aspects of the school. WP:SIRS is part of Notability (organizations and companies). According to Notability (organizations and companies), a non-profit educational institution like G.T. (Ellen Yeung) College needs to meet only Notability, which this school does.

 * Keep per Cunard's sources. PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep: A very decent search of sources by Cunard. I personally have some doubts on the reliability of Sundaykiss (as well as all outlets of New Media Group), but the other sources from Hong Kong Economic Journal, HK01, am730, and South China Morning Post are fine and all demonstrated notability of the school. I disagree with Timothy's claims that the sources are based on the same information and are simply for promotional purposes. For instance, the SCMP source was published in 2009, the HKEJ source was published in 2022, while the am730 source was published in 2024, so these sources are very unlikely to be based on the same source of information or sharing the same source materials. Besides, the sources are also obviously covering different topics. For instance, the SCMP source was discussing the schools of the Direct Subsidy Scheme, an educational policy in Hong Kong. The HKEJ source is about gifted education in the school. The am730 source is about the curriculum and academic results of the school in recent years. I think these few sources are quite neutral, at least hardly be considered as advertising the school or whatsoever, and obviously covering different aspects of the school. Moreover, the sources provided by Cunard are also only the tip of an iceberg, as there are in fact a lot more older sources. (For instance, a Sing Tao Daily article in 2015 about the school's public examination results, a TOPick article in 2018 about the school's reform policies on examinations, a Sky Post article in 2018 about the school's extra-curricular activities, a HK01 article in 2019 about the school's application and interview details, a Tai Kung Pao article in 2019 about the school being the first three schools to introduce the Citizenship and Social Development subject, etc.) Therefore, I agree that this article has well passed GNG and fulfilled the requirement of WP:NSCHOOL. — Prince of Erebor （ The Book of Mazarbul ）  14:02, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
