St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable school. Fails WP:GNG with regards to significant coverage. I performed a Google search and most of what came up was a Facebook/Twitter page, routine coverage of events that took place at the high school, a page that only lists phone numbers/names of employees , another page that only lists the address and phone number , and a local news story that includes nothing more than a trivial mention of the high school. None of these qualify as significant coverage of the high school and whether it fails WP:GNG or not, it most definitely fails WP:IINFO.

A mention of the high school can probably be made somewhere in Ottawa, but as it stands, there's nothing to substantiate this article other than the name, address, list of employees, etc.

To give an example of a high school that does meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion, Carbondale Community High School is cited (or is citeable) to five different independent sources, includes a list of notable alumni and section about the sports teams, all of which isn't the case for St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School. St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School is just a case of WP:EXISTS and therefore doesn't meet the threshold for inclusion to have its own standalone article. — Mythdon ( talk  •  contribs ) 16:27, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. I've been able to add referenced information from searching the archives of the Ottawa Citizen, and it has already had a student who's attracted notice in other media outlets (in addition to a recent missing student case, which I omitted as unencyclopedic). I don't think the presence or absence of a section on sports should bear on notability; that's more a matter of editorial labor, and some schools don't compete, but I added one since the information was there (the newspaper otherwise seems to cover drama productions more than high school sport). For a school started in 2009, I think that's enough to demonstrate notability. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:37, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your additions and given what you've managed to provide, I will withdraw this nomination, seeing as the notability concerns I aforementioned have now been addressed.— Mythdon ( talk  •  contribs ) 19:28, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
