The International School @ ParkCity

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This school has plans to be a full High School (children aged 2 to 18 years) and would at that point meet the criteria of WP:NHS. As the article received a PROD I have raised it for wider discussion as though in the future such an article would be covered by NHS, at the moment it appears to be running as a type of prep school (2 to 13 years) and even then is only planned to open for the first time in a few months time (September 2011). There are several options, it can be claimed that the school is not yet in operation and so fails WP:CRYSTAL while at the same time it can be claimed that the school is probably licensed as a High School and the article should be treated as such. I am bringing the article for discussion as I am not aware of there being a firm consensus on such situations and have no strong view myself. Fæ (talk) 07:45, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect a brief mention to Kepong. Surprisingly we don't have a page on Desa Park City. When someone creates one that would be a better target. If the school was going to open as a high school this autumn then I would say keep the article since it would not be sensible to merge or delete the page only to recreate it a few months down the line. However, the planning indicates that the high school threshold is over three years away. Consequently, I can't make a sensible case for retaining a standalone article and a summary merge is the way to go. TerriersFan (talk) 16:44, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The school WILL have a secondary school when it opens in september, it will only be years 7+8 though and will then add year 9 in 2012 and a new year every year after that until it is a full "through" school from ages 2-13. As it is a new school, I am struggling to find many references, I am working on it though so would appreciate some more time to find these. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katewkl (talk • contribs) 01:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, to meet the high school standard it needs to have grade 10 students and that is not before September 2013. As everyone around here knows I would defend the article if there was a chance of it meeting consensus standards. However, that is some 2.5 years away by which time, hopefully, it will have coverage in reliable sources. TerriersFan (talk) 22:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Merge and redirect per precedent for nn primary  and middle schools, and per WP:CRYSTAL. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:10, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
