Mountain View Academy (San Francisco)
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Kept in 2018 under the argument that although schools are no longer considered inherently notable, we should still consider them notable in case they turn out to be notable. I will be frank in saying that is the silliest argument I have ever seen succeed at AfD.

I did a thorough BEFORE check using basic Google resources, Newspapers.com, and the Wikipedia Library, and I was not able to find sufficient SIGCOV to justify keeping the article. Please be careful when you search not to conflate this school with other schools in California which have similar names, such as the Mountain View Academy in Mountain View, California, which is still operational. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 05:03, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as it appears to be a hoax article created by a banned sockpuppet account whose only editing in mainspace was to create this article (with the rest of its edits focused on its own Talk page and trolling others regarding blocking policies, etc.). Like the nominator and previous commenter, I wasn't able to find coverage that wasn't the prep school in Mountain View or the charter school in Colorado Springs. It's to the point that I'm not even sure if the few facts contained within the article are verifiable or true. There is only one source cited in the article, a link to a video of a San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting, which is listed as two separate footnotes...possibly to make it look like there might be two different sources? What is "p. 18" in the context of that video? I have tried to find it but it makes no sense; there is no document or slide deck contained within the video, and item no. 18 on the meeting agenda (on "Workforce Development") is completely irrelevant. At any rate, given the article's creation by a banned sock; lack of any reliable sourcing whatsoever; no additional coverage found through two AfD discussions; and the fact that it is polluting the Google search results for the actual Mountain View Academy in nearby Mountain View, I would prioritize this for deletion ASAP.
