Maida Vale School

This is a fee-paying school therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply. I am unable to locate any references that provide significant in-depth information on the company with "Independent Content".  HighKing++ 19:18, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. There appear to be no reliable secondary sources yet: WP:TOOSOON applies. But I have a question about whether "fee-paying" is the same as "for profit"? Is the school administered by a foundation that is non-profit? I ask because the "fee paying" term does not seem to be addressed in NCORP, and GNG may apply rather than NCORP. That point is irrelevant this time around, but if the article is rewritten in a few years, it would be good to clear up that difference, which may just be a discrepancy between terms used in the UK and US. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 17:23, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Grand'mere Eugene makes a good point. Even within the US, there are private schools that are for-profit and those that are non-profit (e.g. Washington Post article). Cielquiparle (talk) 13:07, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It turns out that Maida Vale Schools is owned by Gardener Schools Group, a private limited company. So in this case, seems more accurate to point to that fact rather than "fee-paying". Cielquiparle (talk) 13:39, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON; insufficient coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources to date. School first opened in 2021. Coverage to date has focused on plans to open school; contributed article by the headteacher in Absolutely Education and headteacher Q&A interview with blog (both non-independent and most blogs don't qualify as WP:RS); and an initial school guide review.
