International School of Tucson

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A non-notable private K-5 school. Note: There's a related user with a major conflict of interest. He has resumed activity today after creating the article last month. Probably should be reported to UAA. Raymie (t • c) 04:30, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I have begun editing the page to make it more acceptable and will attempt to create a neutral article. I believe the school is notable for their unique program and international recognition. Also, the University of Arizona is doing research of the school (methods, effectiveness, child language learning models, etc...), making the school notable via the University's upcoming research publications. I have created a successful school page for another local school in the past University High School (Tucson). --Qauz (talk) 05:59, 18 May 2011 (UTC)qauz
 * Qauz, the difference is that high schools are usually considered to be inherently notable - and elementary schools are not. See Articles for deletion/Common outcomes. --MelanieN (talk) 21:32, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Unless major notability can be demonstrated, Redirect to Tucson, Arizona. This elementary school seems to get a fair amount of press from the Arizona Daily Star, which is a Reliable Source although strictly local. But don't we require multiple sources? IMO that requirement should be strictly enforced in a case like this, where elementary schools need unusual notability to be kept. --MelanieN (talk) 21:26, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
