Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elan School
This school is notable. This is ''not'' a garden-variety school, but rather a boarding school with a one-of-a-kind program for teenagers with behavioral issues. It has been in business for 37 years, and was formerly very controversial. The incident in which "classmates of the school testified in a murder case against someone who went to the school" was a highly celebrated case involving a murder that had remained unsolved for many years. The man who was eventually convicted of the murder (which he had committed as a teenager, before being sent to Elan) was a relative of the Kennedy family, and testimony from Elan School classmates was important in getting him convicted (they testified that he had talked about the murder). The sentence in the article about the murder case (which I wrote) is a short and mild fraction of what ''could'' be written, but I felt that more extensive discussion of it would be |undue emphasis in an article about the school, particularly in such a short article. The cited reference is part of an article in the ''The Atlantic'' magazine; that section of the article is mostly about Elan. Additionally, the Michael Skakel article states that a book about Elan School (book is not identified) figured in the murder trial
