This page provides guidance to be used by Wikipedia editors to determine if a school should or should not have an article on Wikipedia. This guidance applies to articles about schools themselves; it is not directly applicable to school districts or other education articles. While satisfying these notability guidelines generally indicates that a school warrants an article, a school article failing to do so is not a criterion for speedy deletion.
This guideline can be considered a specialised version of Wikipedia:Notability applied to schools. It reflects the core values of Wikipedia policies, including the following:
- No original research
- Reliable sources
- Verifiability
- Wikipedia articles must not be vehicles for advertisement
- Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information
Claims of notability must adhere to Wikipedia's policy on Verifiability; it is not enough to simply assert that a school meets a criterion without substantiating that claim with reliable sources.
