Available sources are either WP:PRIMARY, obituaries, which are not generally considered reliable sources, insignificant trivia like sports scores, or extremely local. The only two sources in the article are very short routine coverage that appears to be a press release, published on the same day about a new building. The article was created by a WP:SPA with no edits to any other articles. As a private school, the appropriate notability guideline is WP:ORG. This article fails WP:ORGCRIT which requires that individual sources must be evaluated separately and independently of each other and meet the four criteria below to determine if a source qualifies towards establishing notability, they must contain significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth, be completely independent of the article subject, meet the standard for being a reliable source. Primary and tertiary sources do not count towards establishing notability. Jacona (talk) 13:01, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep I went back and added a few more sources. I also included a story of a substitute teach having an inappropriate relationship with a student that led to her being charged. I tired to find some famous alumni and I couldn't but a few have gone on to play in minor league baseball but not in the MLB.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 19:55, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * But actually, no - that Hebron is in Indiana. StAnselm (talk) 03:46, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Good catch! Even some newspapers messed this one up  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 07:03, 10 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. There is a lot of coverage of their sports team that goes well beyond routine scores: e.g. Obviously not a run-of-the-mill school. StAnselm (talk) 03:46, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. So we have one keep vote based on a crime committteed at a different school of the same name, and another keep vote based on sports coverage which amounts to two references about one game. That's not WP:SIGCOV, not even close. Jacona (talk) 15:26, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Have you been through Google News? There is a lot of coverage across several different sports. StAnselm (talk) 20:38, 14 August 2022 (UTC)


 * If kept, REname to Hebron Christian Academy, Dacula. I cannot believe this is the only school using the name.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:42, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I think you may have confused "private" with "for profit" when you wrote, "As a private school, the appropriate notability guideline is WP:ORG." WP:ORG says at the very top of the guideline, The scope of this guideline covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, (italics mine). Under WP:NSCHOOL, the guideline says, For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria, referring to WP:ORG and GNG. In the context of schools, "private" does not mean "for profit". Most private US schools are operated by non-profits: many are operated by religious groups and organizations (as this one is), that are non-profit. Even many private schools that are non-religious are operated by foundations supported by non-profit organizations. For-profit institutions in the US that run highly specialized operations called schools may teach music, dance, karate, etc., for profit, and are seldom notable—WP has only CompuHigh in the Category:For-profit high schools in the United States. All that said, IMHO, the article as it has been revised in this AfD process has barely enough sources to squeak by WP:GNG guidelines. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 16:43, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
