Indus Center for Academic Excellence

RS coverage doesn't establish notability and ghits are trivial. Despite WP:SCHOOLS saying high schools are notable, this isn't a school as much as a private extracurricular program. Disregard the article's current state, that could be fixed if there were materials from which to do so, it doesn't appear that there are. It also fails WP:ORG: Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found.TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 18:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect to Lathrup Village, Michigan. There are enough mentions in the Detroit News and elsewhere to verify its existence but there are insufficient sources to develop a standalone article. A short mention in the locality article, as we do for all sorts of institutions that don't justify their own page, is the way to go. I would add that the target article is badly in need of some content on its facilities. TerriersFan (talk) 21:50, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - view changed due to the accumulation of evidence of its notability in mathematics teaching. TerriersFan (talk) 19:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Per a gsearch on "Indus Center for Academic Excellence" -- the search given above was just of gnews alone--  there are multiple significant awards to students here. (e.g. ) The link to its site, not given in the incompetent article, is . DGG (talk) 01:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment a student being one of 7 winners of the 2007 Sun Life Financial Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge doesn't seem to confer notability on the academic center. I'm not even entirely sure how significant that award is, but I haven't dug too deeply on that. I won a New York State award after going through a program at Nyack Library, that doesn't confer notability upon the library. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 02:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - this is an eternal debate on here. However, I think that it is entirely reasonable that when a student who has been educated in a subject at a school, then wins an award for distinction in that subject, that it should reflect well on the school.

 * Comment reflect well on the school, absolutely. Let them put in their brochures that little mAry sue won an award after taking classes there and 'your kid can too'; but make the organization notable? I don't think so. Unless you're in the area you're not sending your kid there and it falls well under the scope of local organizations. That said, I don't disagree with your merge idea.

 * Comment - the purpose of any school is to educate it students and evidence of notable success by the students is a reasonable metric for notability of the school. TerriersFan (talk) 19:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – appears to be notable. This source establishes the school's mathematical pedigree (a student coming in the top ten of the 40th Canadian Mathematical Olympiad is quite notable) The real notability according to our standards (significant reliable coverage independent of the subject) is established by this article in The Detroit News.
