Cristo Rey San Diego High School: Sources in article and found in BEFORE fail WP:SIRS , nothing addressing the subject - the San Diego campus - directly and indepth .  Article is a unneeded CFORK of Cristo Rey Network , no objection to a redirect.  // Timothy :: talk 17:19, 7 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Schools , Christianity ,  and California .  WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 18:57, 7 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect.  Per WP:ORGCRIT , local units of larger organizations need to show coverage of the sub-unit beyond the local area.  All reliable, secondary sources cited here are local to San Diego.  Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 21:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge and redirect Redirect to Cristo Rey Network .  No sources found outside of non-independent or non-local media that meet SIGCOV requirements.  ~ Pbritti ( talk ) 02:32, 8 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to Cristo Rey Network .  Not independently notable.  It is already listed at the target, and there is not really anything that needs merging.

Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:15, 10 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep.  See WP:NSCHOOL .  WP:ORG specifically says in the first paragraph, The scope of this guideline covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, (italics mine) religions or sects, and sports teams.  The appropriate guideline is thus not WP:ORGCRIT , but WP:SIGCOV , which says "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content.  Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.  Non-local sources are not required for GNG, and this article has 3 RS from local television news (CBS8 and 2 from ABC 10 News San Diego KGTV), as well as San Diego Entertainer Magazine and San Diego Business Journal , which are independent of the subject, as defined in SIGCOV.  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 17:48, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Firstly, yes you are correct.  A GNG pass is sufficient (SIGCOV is part of that but independent reliable secondary sources are still required - I think you address that though).  My problem with the sources cited so far, however, is that these are all local, and describing the new school for what it has set up to be, and the way it is funded.  There is, however, a case that there is something innovative (if not revolutionary) about this school, and that this will attract notice.  What would clinch it for me is some national attention, or some attention in something other than a news report.  I note that there is, in fact, only one ABC 10 News San Diego KGTV source, but even if there were more, they would all be treated as one for purposes of GNG.  Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 10:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] National attention (or even a non-local source) is NOT a requirement of SIGCOV.  That's the difference between the NORG requirement and GNG.  Non-profit schools can meet the notability requirement with either NORG or GNG or both.  This one meets GNG.  I also found and added one additional source announcing a full-ride scholarship opportunity from the University of San Diego.  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 11:35, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] An announcement of a scholarship is a primary source.  Primary sources do not count towards GNG.  Also the ABC 10 report is clearly not independent.  The writer is a staff writer, but it is based entirely on an interview with the head, and ends with a fundraiser.  It also has a questionable claim in it.  How can someone be 300% below the poverty line?  But I suppose bad maths is not an issue.  The writer has a declared interest in faith based schools.  The CBS8 source also has primary news/independence issues - it is a piece that is bylined "Cristo Rey San Diego High needs more corporate sponsors for work study program."  It appears to be predicated on that basis.  I do not see how any of this crosses the GNG threshold.  If we have no national sources, local sources need to be in depth and to provide sufficient information to write an article.  These sources do not.  Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 07:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] GNG is a red herring in this thread.  In response to @ Grand'mere Eugene 's comment that this would pass GNG with local sources, WP:NORG supersedes GNG (this is very clear at WP:ORGCRIT ).  And under WP:BRANCH , a local unit of a national org requires coverage in sources outside of the local area to be considered notable.  The only notability this local school has is tied to the unique model of its network, which is why a redirect is best.

Talk!  20:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment WP:NSCHOOL is a subsection of Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) under the section, "Alternate criteria for specific types of organizations" that specifies, All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations (i.e., this page), the general notability guideline, or both.  Either NORG, or GNG, or both.  GNG is thus not a "red herring", but one of the ways schools may satisfy WP's notability requirement.  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 05:29, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Passes GNG.  See, for example: this .  Carrite ( talk ) 02:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That is the CBS8 source considered above.

Thanks, Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no!  02:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep the CBS8 and SDEntertainer sources are sufficient for GNG; the arguments that this is insufficient because this is a school affiliated with a national organization are unpersuasive.  Walsh90210 ( talk ) 03:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Welcome to Wikipedia.  Please note that this is not all that the discussion says is wrong with these two local news sources.  Sources must be multiple, with significant coverage, independent of the subject, in reliable secondary sources.  As above, these are not independent, aspects of them are primary sources, coverage of the school itself is limited and we are still short of multiple.  Reliability has not been assessed.  Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 07:43, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I dispute your definition of "independent".   Just because a TV station interviews somebody with the school doesn't mean it's not independent.   And the "byline" you claim earlier is actually part of the headline.  Walsh90210 ( talk ) 16:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, the headline.  So the article is not independent.  Likewise I said rather more than just that the article was entirely off an interview with the head.  The fact it ends with a fundraiser is also pertinent, and that is not the only problem identified with that source.  Now you have made 100 edits to Wikipedia in your 3 days here, and nearly half of these are to AfD or RfD.  You are very welcome to the discussion, but might I suggest there may be a little more to the evaluation of sources then you may yet be aware of.  Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 16:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Are you saying that a CBS station isn't "independent" of a private school because the headline mentions the name of the school?   I agree the source isn't perfect, but claims that CBS isn't "independent" of this school make me dismiss everything you say.  Walsh90210 ( talk ) 21:39, 23 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Clearly I didn't say that.  The concern is that the headline makes quite clear that this local news article is predicated on a call for local businesses to act as sponsors for their local school.  "... needs more corporate sponsors for work study program."  Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 08:21, 24 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment — I added another source from ProQuest , which is accessible via Wikipedia Library.  To access this source, login to Wikimedia , then login to WP Library before clicking the ProQuest 2550545515 id link.  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 15:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Reviewing this source, it is another local news source.  "The San Diego Business Journal (SDBJ) is a weekly newspaper in San Diego, California covering local business news." - San Diego Business Journal .  It is written by the paper's editor (Jay Harn), and is not clearly predicated on a funding drive.  The coverage again only talks about the funding model.  We really aren't getting much to say about the school beyond the funding model, and if that model were so significant, there ought to be national coverage.  As a news source, reporting is a primary source, and sources should be secondary.  I still believe that if the funding model itself were notable, a national news source would clinch it.  Otherwise, for purely local coverage, more depth is needed about the school itself, such that an article about the school can be written.  I will say I am not far from a keep here - I just don't think local reports about the funding model are enough on their own.
