Via Special:ShortPages I reverted the blanking of the redirect from Copper Canyon Academy to Sedona Sky Academy. User:Msampson10 has posted the following on my talk page, and I repost it here in order to get more eyes on the matter.
Hello Sam Sailor, I am Msampson10, and I made significant changes to the Sedona Sky Academy wiki page. As you can tell, I am new to this. However, as their marketing manager, and in close communication with owners Tammy Behrmann, Darren Prince, and John Gordon of Family Help & Wellness, I was asked to set the record straight. I accept that I probably didn't follow wiki protocol to a tee, but I provided reliable sources to the facts and dates. In a nutshell, there's controversy surrounding now closed Copper Canyon Academy, and this same controversy attached itself to Sedona Sky Academy (despite new owners, new staff, and new program philosophy). Our mission is to clarify the differences and separation of the two facilities. So my question to you is, can you (or I) delete the old Copper Canyon Academy wiki page vs. just not redirect it to the Sedona Sky wiki page? Obviously we are desiring less affiliation with CCA, and the redirect keeps CCA and SSA connected. Thanks for your time.

I'll notify editors who have previously edited the article. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 11:04, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
In the case of Arizona Boys Ranch to Canyon State Academy, a name change that occurred in 2000 and arguably the best example at hand, I left it intact because while there were massive changes to the school itself there was considerable continuity between ABR and CSA. Until 2005 CSA used ABR's athletic mascot, and CSA inherited one of ABR's campuses (the other two or three were shuttered).
HEAL Online, which is an information source very critical of boarding school programs, says that much of the upper management jumped from Copper Canyon to Sedona Sky. Even their own web page contains Tweets phrased like "Sedona Sky Academy, formerly known as Copper Canyon Academy, is a premier residential treatment center for girls."
I encourage User:Msampson10 to add a section about the Sedona Sky transition to the article, but I also want to warn him/her to be careful because we do have conflict of interest policies, and I agree that something on CCA must remain. Raymie (t • c) 16:20, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
Looking into the matter it seems inappropriate that Copper Canyon Academy page is removed and is redirected to Sedona Sky Academy page, I suggest the redirect from Copper Canyon Academy page to Sedona Sky should be removed as it seems wrong. The website of now closed Copper Canyon Academy doesn't mention anything about it being renamed or any other thing, why on earth would someone remove the Copper Canyon Page and make it a redirect to Sedona Sky? Yes the owner of both the academies appears to be the same person, and yes some people might have switched to Sedona Sky after Copper Canyon was closed and Sedona Sky was created on the same location. But that doesn't justify removing the history and page of Copper Canyon and make a redirect to Sedona Sky page. I think it is not appropriate by us to merge or anyway try to link these two separate academies when official websites of both are not mentioning any link at all.

I would like to request the following change, for the text to be altered from "a private therapeutic boarding school for emotionally disturbed adolescent girls" to "a private therapeutic boarding school for adolescent girls", removing the term "emotionally disturbed" as this is a clinical condition that doesn't apply to Sedona's practice or license; this is a clinical term that doesn't apply to the treatment center. "Therapeutic boarding school for girls" already covers the scope of the company's license. Emotionally disturbed as a clinical term applies to psychiatric treatment centers or hospitals, of which Sedona is not qualified to be. The Wikipedia link to "therapeutic boarding schools" describes what the facility does in terms of context. If this is considered to be non-controversial, I may make this edit myself, but wanted to make sure that it is indeed non-controversial and ensure that the edit is not made with context. Though I am not being paid by Sedona, I do have an external affiliation with the boarding school, which I here declare. Ophelia Afeelinya (talk) 17:55, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
