Search found no independent secondary reliable in-depth coverage. Fails notability. See WP:NSCHOOL. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 16:37, 13 August 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

Keep — I can see three sources on the page that meets the general notability guidelines. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 17:48, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, setting aside the fact this offers very little information anyway, the sources provided do not indicate this is a notable institution and I have been unable to find any significant coverage that sufficiently asserts notability. Schools can no longer be assumed as notable and simply existing is not enough. Bungle (talk • contribs) 12:23, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Based on "significance", this is the sort of article that needs to be kept and I will explain why. This school is located in the far North, significant, in one of the core Islamic extremist states, [Yobe], highly significant. It has been a successful target for Boko Haram, significant. It is also a girls-only school, highly significant. It was established in the 70s so has history, significant. I am Nigerian and attributing all these to a single school is rare. In the days of NSCHOOLS, this would have been an easy keep because there are sources that show it exists. It is extremely difficult for such schools to receive multiple significant coverage in reliable sources, but evaluating it will tell you it is only a victim of low internet penetration in the region and it is only a matter of time. It is fine if it gets deleted, but left to my interpretation of notability, it should be kept.HandsomeBoy (talk) 23:18, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
