This one is very close to home, and some of my friends would have a COI deleting this article. But it doesn't meet any notability guidelines. No Blue Ribbon, fails the GNG (though it has five small-fry references), no reason to stick around. Raymie (t • c) 03:39, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: The original nomination was four years ago. At the time the sources were added, and the AfD resulted in a no consensus-keep. However, the times have changed. Of the five references, one is the school's website, one is GreatSchools review, two come from the local Catholic newspaper, and one from the local newspaper. It's extraordinary national-level coverage that would keep a school article like this afloat, not the mundane reports of the Arizona Republic and Catholic Sun.

 * Redirect to Phoenix, Arizona or suitable location.  The school  appears to  only  educate to  Grade 8 Junior High. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:47, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect as Kudpung recommends, per established consensus that only very rare K-8 schools are notable, and only when there are outstanding independent reliable sources documenting their historical or architectural significance.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  06:32, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Question Isn't there an article on the diocese school system somewhere? If so, we should definitely redirect this there.  I oppose a redirect to the city article, since this is a low-profile private school, not a well known one or a public school.  Nyttend (talk) 14:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, we also do  that. Depends if the diocese has an article of course.,  but  there's no  harm  in redirecting  it  t o the locality, even if it's a small or less well  known school. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:44, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirecting to the locality presents issues here. Phoenix is so large, and Ahwatukee is only Phoenix with regards to city services (very different neighborhood, geographically separated, different area code!, etc.). I'd redirect to an Ahwatukee article over a Phoenix article. Also, the service area goes well beyond Ahwatukee to nearby Catholic parishes in Chandler and Tempe.
