Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pretoria Muslim School


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. I'm going with no consensus on this one. There are also some newer sources presented, but, it doesn't appear people are engaging here regarding it (and we can only relist so many times!). Highly suggest improving the article and feel free to renominate for AfD if you feel it doesn't deserve inclusion in WP. Missvain (talk) 17:50, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Pretoria Muslim School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Originally PROD'd with the concern that "This article has had no sources at all for over 11 years. This is a highly egregious violation of verifiability"

De-prodded as there has been some coverage due to its Matric results

I don't think that coverage is sufficient to meet GNG and schools are no longer automatically notable Gbawden (talk) 06:40, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: I de-prodded the article on the basis of WP:CONTN, and to give it a fair chance of being saved, because there is a reasonable amount of coverage in WP:RS over a number of years (either as "Pretoria Muslim School" or "Tshwane Muslim School") e.g.  . I suppose it could be notable as an example of a community-run religious school in a township being competitive with top-tier private schools. There was a lot of unsourced material that has been removed. It's also probably got a lot more coverage from RS than many other SA schools on Wikipedia. That said WP:OTHER is a thing, and I don't feel strongly either way (WP:GLOBAL aside, there should probably be more deletions of SA schools than less).Park3r (talk) 07:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete I mostly agree with Park3r here. Except three of the references provided by them are human interest stories that have less to do with the school and more to do with students of it. Plus, two of them are from the same news outlet. I couldn't find anything better either. That said, if someone can come up with a few more good quality sources that address the school directly and in-depth I think there could be a good case for keeping the article. Just not as things currently stand. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
