Seems like a pretty straightforward case of WP:NSCHOOL - no reliable, independent sources listed or available. Originally written very promotionally, no SIGCOV found. Theleekycauldron (talk) 18:11, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

What? Why? This is one of the largest Jewish day school in the U.S! Who is this anonymous anti-Semite who wants to delete it? Elirame (talk) 21:35, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Let's get a few things straight here. First of all, I'm an Orthodox Jew from the United States. Second, I'm not "anonymous" - my username is right there, you can see a complete list of every single edit I've made to wikipedia. Third, Wikipedia policy dictates you avoid personal attacks. And fourth, if you can provide me a reliable source that tells me why the largest jewish day school in the U.S. is notable, or if that claim is even true, i'd be happy to take that into consideration. But I looked and couldn't find reliable secondary sources to support any such claim to notability. Theleekycauldron (talk) 21:58, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * And as for your apparent outrage, displayed in the "What? Why?", well I went over why. If you could be so kind as to take a look at my sourced reason for deletion. Theleekycauldron (talk) 22:05, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * And since you're new to AfDs, the proper format here is prefixing your opinion with Keep, Merge, Delete, Redirect, or something else. Theleekycauldron (talk) 23:03, 24 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete there's a high bar for what's notability when it comes to organizations. Especially schools that are not universities. This clearly doesn't meet it. Which is not surprising. Day schools rarely (if ever) will. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per NSCHOOL and User:Bearian/Standards. It has a large student body, is over 50 years old, has a large faculty, graduated at least one notable alumnus, and has notable academic programs that garner media attention. Bearian (talk) 16:00, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It is a combo elementary school, middle school, and daycare. That's the only reason it has a large student body - a comparable public school in the same area would have twice as many or more. Same for large faculty. While it does have an notable alumnus, that doesn't automatically guarantee notability, and I looked I couldn't find any media attention.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete I’m not seeing anything to suggest this is an exception to the general consensus on primary schools. Mccapra (talk) 22:09, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree as far as that. Once again, as Uncle Bernie would say, I'm leaning keep, but if it's deleted I'll go along with the consensus. Bearian (talk) 18:58, 1 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Redirect - to Beverly Hills, California, as a plausible redirect per WP:ATD. It's what we've traditionally done in this situation. 174.254.193.252 (talk) 17:42, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
