This school never established notability, and especially not now that it is out of business Trevey-On-Sea (talk) 03:48, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment notability is not temporary. The current functioning of an institution should have no baring on notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:46, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnpacklambert: Yes, but something that has not established notability is less likely to posthumously. Trevey-On-Sea (talk) 01:06, 3 August 2020 (UTC) P.S. for future reference it's "No bearing", not "No baring".[reply]

Wow, this is quite close to me and I can't even say I'd heard of it despite having written many a high school stub in this state. The Arizona State Board for Charter Schools has a document indicating that the school was closed December 2016 due to low enrollment. Street View reveals that another school, "AZ College Preparatory Academy", operated here beginning in 2017, and it apparently has since moved to operate out of a strip mall one mile south. There is no coverage in local papers that would allow this article to meet WP:N and WP:ORG. Delete. Raymie (t • c) 20:33, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I see I did add an infobox to this article back in 2011...yeah, this is definitely a case where the 2017 RfC removing auto-notability for secondary schools really matters. Raymie (t • c) 20:39, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So I should mention, I went here until it was shut down; Also when looking through the history of this page there were major edits by three people with connection to the school, 63.226.49.222; which must be the school's own ip, as it is only edits on this page and childish vandalism, then there is Kielsky, who is fb friends with the "Chancellor"(founder), and then of course there is Grandcanyonprepacademy.

@Trevey-On-Sea: Yeah, I see that too. Also looks like the AZ College Prep has more than a physical connection to Grand Canyon Prep, though as someone who went there, you probably know more about that than I do. Thanks for the disclosure. Raymie (t • c) 00:28, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Raymie: I think it was bought out, and the new school moved there, but then moved back to it's strip mall location. Also could you please Vote? All Best Trevey-On-Sea (talk) 21:26, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Trevey-On-Sea: It looks like it, too, given the continuity of leadership. (And by the way, I did vote—look at the end of my comment.) That said, not even the Pinnacle-era AZCPA adds enough to meet WP:ORG. Raymie (t • c) 21:41, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Raymie: Sorry about that! Trevey-On-Sea (talk) 22:02, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GNG, WP:MILL. This was a briefly-existing charter school, one of thousands, that was de-chartered. Bearian (talk) 16:41, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
