  Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools says:

  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, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria.

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Elk County Catholic High School to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  Ok so now there is more sources for the article(only five listed on the articles reference list), but the article still does not qualify for a wikipedia article, it is too short & still contains promotional wording. No sources for the "notable alumimi". PaulGamerBoy360 ( talk) 20:30, 7 May 2023 (UTC) reply

  Comment: Neither "too short" nor "promotional wording" are reasons for deletion. Deletion is about notability and the availability of sourcing, not about cleanup. See WP:DINC. Interestingly, however, the kind of coverage that's driving the inclusion here would for an athlete or a business organization probably lead to the article being deleted as having only routine coverage. -- Jahaza ( talk) 14:28, 10 May 2023 (UTC) reply

• Keep Numerous SIGCOV-providing sources exist, proved by Cunard. PaulGamerBoy360 should have done a WP:BEFORE first. Timothytyy ( talk) 10:55, 7 May 2023 (UTC) reply
• Keep. There is obviously numerous WP:SIGCOV-compliant sources that a quick internet search would have found. @ PaulGamerBoy360: Please conduct WP:BEFORE searches before nominating an article for deletion, it wastes time for everyone to have to !vote and find sources for clearly notable topics, this has happened on at least a few AfD's that you have nominated.

Notability is determined by what coverage exists for the subject, not the current state of the article. WP:BEFORE isn't optional. 69.92.163.38 ( talk) 14:05, 7 May 2023 (UTC) reply

The main concern is that this articles wording is promotional. PaulGamerBoy360 ( talk) 20:31, 7 May 2023 (UTC) reply
