This school does not meet our criteria for a standalone article, as explained as WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. It is a primary school, K-8, which has not received much (or any) coverage from Independent Reliable Sources. No independent references are provided. Our usual practice would be to redirect it to the parent organization, British Schools Foundation. In fact I performed that redirect earlier this month, but the article has now been restored, so I am bringing it to AfD for resolution. The tone of the article is highly promotional, but that's not the issue here; the issue is the notability of the subject. I still favor redirecting it to British Schools Foundation.

• Delete. This school hasn't even opened yet, so it has no history which might make it notable, nor has it received even a single mention in the local daily paper (i.e. The New York Times) as far as I can tell. Pburka ( talk) 01:53, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Note. I can't find any significant coverage about the parent organization, either. If this article is deleted (or redirected) I intend to nominate the BSF article. Pburka ( talk) 15:19, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply
• Delete and create a redirect to British Schools Foundation where it is mentioned. It is unlikely that this school will meet WP:ORG and none of the content is sourced so it is not mergeable. The Whispering Wind ( talk) 02:31, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply
• Delete according to consensus. Primary schools with no coverage should be redirected or deleted. I can find nothing. Fails WP:NSCHOOL. Along with this the article is highly promotional. Jim Carter 10:25, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply
• Redirect after blanking and fully protectibg. There are no ambiguities over how we generally handle such articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kudpung ( talk • contribs) 08:59, 26 October 2014‎

  Can you point out which ones are independent and significant? They mostly look like press releases to me. Pburka ( talk) 15:55, 29 October 2014 (UTC) reply

• Maintain NYIS is a new school opening in New York, the article lists numerous sources which are independently verified (not just internal press releases as implied in this discussion, but publication in new outlets, membership of BSF and British Chamber etc), it features prominently in search engines and maps (Google maps is also an independent verification) and deleting/re-directing would be inappropriate.
