Other than one broken link to a primary source, this article contains no sources. I cannot find any evidence through an online search that this school is notable at all. Cardiffbear88 ( talk) 19:04, 4 March 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete — The reason you can't "find any evidence through an online search" is because the school has been defunct for over a decade. The article's creation is emblematic of several problems with Wikipedia in general: 1) The POV advanced by the schools WikiProject that anything with "High School" in its name is automatically notable while anything not containing "High School" in its name is automatically non-notable; 2) That any entity aside from for-profit companies are deserving of separate standards of notability than for-profit companies; 3) That anything currently existing when the article was created and which generally passes the first two criteria is acceptable. You have plenty of work to do in regards to weeding out content created under number three. The school was basically a footnote in the 30+-year history of Top Class, a weekly classified-ad publication in Fairbanks, which probably couldn't qualify as notable on its own.

Agree entirely with you @ RadioKAOS: - there are a lot of articles that simply wouldn’t make AfC these days and aren’t being updated, so are just left inaccurate! Please come join here if you’re able to help with the backlog. Cardiffbear88 ( talk) 19:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC) reply
