1. So, this is a fundie school. So what? It doesn't appear to be any different from hundreds of others. There doesn't appear to be a need for this particular school to have a page here. The article as written is a copypasta from the school's web site and is unlikely to be expanded. Cosmikdebris (talk) 21:40, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
2. Search results don't excuse lack of effort put into pages. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 00:51, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
3. Get rid of the article. What a Wonderful World (talk) 21:59, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
4. Get rid of it. Do we really need yet another article on some fundie diploma mill in the middle of god-knows-where? — Oxyaena ^Harass 00:00, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

1. Don't see any reason why we shouldn't have a page, it may be boring but it gets first page Google for the schools name, potentially informing somebody. — Dysk (contribs) 21:59, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

   The article, as currently presented, is simply a copy and paste from the school's website. There's basically no other content except for some dubious opinions in the first paragraph that are not backed up by any references at all. At a minimum, the article needs a complete rewrite to be useful to anyone. Cosmikdebris (talk) 00:34, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

   I deleted everything in the article from the schools website. — Dysk (contribs) 19:34, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

2. The more info we have, the better. Information seems to be cited correctly and we can always expand it later. Perhaps we could put that on the to-do list? I strongly believe it should be kept. Pootisbird (talk) 18:32, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

4. Notoriety shouldn't have so much to do with keeping a page. Commie Lib (talk) 20:07, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Merge/redirect

At worst redirect to the fundie school page so we keep the google search result. Féinléiriú (talk) 22:03, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

# Seconded. — Oxyaena ^Harass 22:21, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

1. FYI, I should make the point that a redirect will not keep the Google result, as GoogleBot will notice the page content has gone and re-rank it much lower. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — Dysk (contribs) 22:24, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

   Having actually looked at it being cleared out there is little value in it, it doesn't even say why it's bad other than it's a fundie school, which will just tells fundies 'Oh this is the place for me!'. I assume it is already listed in the fundie schools list. Féinléiriú (talk) 23:08, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
