Variety Child Learning Center
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Was previously nominated for deletion by sock and the AfD was speedily closed due to that. This school only educates kids with learning challenges up to age 7, making it more a preschool than even a primary school. Contrary to 's assertion that this should be redirected to the settlement article associated with the location of the school, we do not generally mention preschools in settlement articles. And, not for nothing, this school now has campuses in two different communities, so where would we redirect it to? Delete is the obvious course here. John from Idegon (talk) 03:58, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. The school has in-depth coverage in reliable sources, including Newsday. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * In this article, there are references to the center's teen group learning how to prepare for a job interview. Perhaps the members of the teen group go to school elsewhere and receive supplementary services from the center, but I can't tell. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:46, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not even sure the SCHOOLOUTCOMES thing applies--I can't barely tell what kind of school this is, and "approved" doesn't add much. If it's in/across two different school districts it's not a "normal" school like we see 99% of the time, but of course for a private school that doesn't really matter. For practical purposes I suppose it does matter, given the problem of where to merge or redirect. So the way I read this article and the relevant policies and guidelines, it should pass per GNG. And that's problematic: this is just a kind of directory entry, and that leaves the two (short) articles in Newsday, a local paper, sourcing from which is reliable enough and would be unproblematic for adding content to a "regular" school whose notability doesn't depend so much on strength of coverage. But that's not what we have here, so I'd say weak delete if anyone asked me. Drmies (talk) 17:09, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete as per reasoning in nomination. Hughesdarren (talk) 02:46, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not a secondary school, so we actually have to clearly show notability, and the sourcing does not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:39, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
