512:. In the Knowledge (XXG) guidelines, the criteria for notability do not appear to rely on a "notable history" or "extraordinary" accomplishments of a subject matter. It is reiterated, that according to the Knowledge (XXG) guidelines, this article fulfills the requirements for notability. The school has been the subject of significant coverage by reliable, independent sources. It is further added that the jist of the arguments to keep this article is not based on placing this school in a category of schools that have a notable history and are in some way "extraordinary". The purpose of this Knowledge (XXG) article is to include this school in the collection of schools already published on Knowledge (XXG) as a source of important information to the public. --
323:: The school was named after a notable Canadian, Ottawa-native and graduate of a high school in the same Ottawa-Carleton District School board. This article has received almost 500 hits since its publication on Knowledge (XXG) a few days ago. The school is only a few years old, so it is not unexpected that it may not have as wide a presence on Google as other schools. This, however, does not trivialize its importance as a source of information to the community and public at large. The article is well written and has been edited to include several references to reliable third-party sources to make the information verifiable. Also refer to this template which lists other Ottawa-Carleton District School Board schools:
556:. The publication sources cited in this article have indeed addressed the school in detail (e.g. newspaper articles). It is true that many schools of the western world, including those which already have their own Knowledge (XXG) articles, are covered in regional or local media. However, regional coverage also counts towards notability. The Knowledge (XXG) guidelines states that "Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability"
391:
The
Knowledge (XXG) article has been further modified to highlight notable accomplishments and projects. The school has won various national and provincial awards. It is believed that the notability criteria have been met and the subject matter is worthy of notice. The information in the article is
487:
Age alone is not a defining element, but older schools are more likely to have notable histories. This is a new school without notable history (due to its age!) or architecture whose "achievements" include winning a couple of prizes, just like most other schools in the world. It has been mentioned a
530:
But I see no "significant coverage". I see a few articles about the school in local media. So what? That could apply to every single school in the western world. That's not significant coverage. That's ordinary, run of the mill coverage. Failing that, we must look for notability elsewhere, and
461:. The fact that this school is only 6 years old does not influence its notability. According to Knowledge (XXG) notability guidelines, a school is notable " if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject"
469:. There is verifiable evidence of coverage of this school and its notable accomplishments by reliable independent sources including the media and publications by nationally-known organizations. Therefore, the school is notable. --
551:
means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material"
166:
368:
Being named for a notable person does not make a school notable. Primary schools are generally not notable, and this one is not an exception. Being part of a template doesn't establish notability either.
327:. Many of these schools have published Knowledge (XXG) articles. The publication of Knowledge (XXG) articles on certain schools and not others, especially within the same school board could appear
