Non-notable school lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. Article was previously PRODed. 33ABGirl (talk) 13:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I've added more sources. I believe the sources now in the article demonstrate that it meets GNG. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:52, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you for adding the sources. Please find my assessment on the sources in the current article (including those existing prior to your edits) below per WP:SIRS.

(added 11 June) In general, most sources fail WP:ORGDEPTH, with only brief mentions or coverage of the subject. Content is limited to local events, brief announcements and routine coverage, making them WP:TRIVCOV. The tone of much of the sources are also WP:PROMOTIONAL and/or are not WP:INDEPENDENT, failing WP:ORGIND. Much of the sources are also state-owned or party-owned, which precludes the sources as WP:RS in principle, per WP:DEPS & WP:RSP. While some in-depth coverage is presented, they fall into the pervious category of sources. As per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, the sources do not establish WP:ORGSIG.

In summary, I believe the presented sources does not fulfill WP:SIGCOV, so WP:GNG has not been met for the article subject.

Link	Source	Independent?	Reliable?	Significant coverage?	Count source toward GNG?
1	教育家	No, published by Guangming Daily, a newspaper owned by the Chinese Communist Party.	No	Yes	No
2, 3	School Website	No, owned by the school.	Yes	No, only a brief introduction.	No
4	教育装备采购网	No, trade association website for school equipment. Article is a "success story" on one of its members who supplied the school.	No, per WP:PROMO	Yes	No
5	教师之友	No, published by 四川新闻出版局, a publication owned by the Government of China.	No	Partially, only focused on a single test initiative of the school.	No
6	瞭望	No, published by 新华通讯社, a publication owned by the Government of China.	No	Partially, only focused on a single test initiative (same as no.5) of the school.	No
7, 8	中国青年报	No, published by China Youth Daily, a publication owned by the Chinese Communist Party.	No	Partially, only focused on a single test initiative (same as no.5, 6) of the school.	No
9, 10	中国高校之窗	No, published by China Education Television, a publication owned by the Government of China.	No	Yes	No

I have added an archived link to replace the dead link to the school's website, though this source is not independent and does not count towards satisfying GNG. However, the news sources' indirect national government or party ownership should not affect their reliability or independence when reporting on a local high school for purposes of GNG. Guangming Daily and China Youth Daily are standard news sources in China; it's not like they're published by the school itself or the school district. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 18:10, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• As per WP:DEPS & WP:RSP, significantly more scrutiny is applied to state-owned and party-owned publications from China, with the general consensus being that such publications are unreliable. 33ABGirl (talk) 06:02, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not correct. There are all sorts of sources that have some level of Chinese government ownership, and some are more reliable than others. In fact, a lot of the major news organizations in China have indirect government ties; if we were to arbitrarily exclude all of these sources, we would lose a lot of important and generally reliable sources for China-related topics. I'm not sure why you linked WP:DEPS, as none of the cited sources are listed there as far as I can tell. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 18:02, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you for replacing the dead-link, I've updated SIRS table to include my assessment of the source. 33ABGirl (talk) 06:18, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools, which 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. (See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES)
