 * Comment The earlier AfD listed these academic sources: ,,. I have not looked at them at this point. Jacona (talk) 14:43, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Sources for this school may be more likely under the former name, Thoreau School. Jacona (talk) 14:59, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Search terms. If you search for "Thoreau School" and "Open Classroom" or The O.C. and "Salt Lake", things begin to come together. here is a source about Thoreau becoming The O. C. There are many sources to be found searching for Thoreau. Jacona (talk) 15:10, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Interesting development. The Banner  talk 15:38, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * On further reading: it states that it is an "optional program". So it is not a regular school. The Banner  talk 15:49, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * In the long run, Thoreau School had an open classroom program, the city had a program called "The Open Classroom", eventually The Open Classroom" became part of Thoreau and later Thoreau took the name "Open Classroom". It's a messy history to be sure. Jacona (talk) 16:08, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * In any case, I'm probably dropping this conversation; hopefully my comments will be useful to others. Jacona (talk) 16:12, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete = it totally fails my standards for schools. It's basically a statement of its mission and values, which is supposedly unique, but isn't really, and without any assertion of what makes it notable. FWIW, I used to teach at charter schools. Bearian (talk) 22:35, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
