Hinoki International School

School never was notable. Altho there is a fair amount of press about its dissolution, I'd argue that's 1E. Clearly, it wouldn't be notable if it still existed, and the discussion of its closure was a local story. John from Idegon (talk) 04:30, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Question - If a statewide paper/academic source isn't found, would you support moving all content to Livonia Public Schools (and ensuring it's always considered due coverage/due weight for the topic); this is important because of the rancorous and controversial closure that IMO is enough (despite being "local") to have coverage... explained here: "Hinoki stakeholders viewed the Livonia board's actions as a hostile takeover of their school, recruiting teachers and students without the Hinoki board's knowledge." - there needs to be a place on Wikipedia to discuss out of the ordinary events like this. BTW the think tank Mackinac Center wasn't too happy about this. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:42, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Found coverage from another part of Michigan: http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2015/02/saginaw_valley_state_universit_101.html (written by Heather Jordan of MLive/The Saginaw News/The Bay City Times) WhisperToMe (talk) 12:00, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Based on the breadth and depth of coverage and the unusual nature of the closure dispute. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:50, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment there also seems to have been press coverage of its opening (see refs in article), which would seem to negate the WP:1E argument. Pburka (talk) 15:25, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

 * New info: I found the Washington Times printed an Associated Press article about this school (which cites The Detroit News as its source): http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/14/district-revokes-japanese-immersion-school-charter/ - Does this satisfy concerns of regarding regional reporting?
