Apologies for the bias and frustration evident here.
At DRV right now is a debate regarding Finger Lakes Christian School. The sources for this article are: a diary date and a quote form the principal; and the school website. The school is a private church school with 75 students.
The problem with the article itself was established at AfD: absence of non-trivial coverage in reliable secondary sources. We cannot verify anything much other than its existence, so the article contents was a simple directory entry, but of course [[WP:NOT]] a directory does not apply to schools.
The problem with the deletion debate is obvious; it has the S-word in the title so the subject is "inherently notable" (whatever that might mean, no sources were cited to back this claim). Obviously if one were to substitute "company" for "school" in the article title it would have been snowballed into the bitbucket, with its 75 unique Googles outside Wikipedia and mirrors.
The problem with the DRV is that the existence of a number of votes from obdurate "all schools are inherently notable" types means that vote counting gives no consensus, whereas a comparison of arguments from policy - specifically verifiability and hence the ability to cover the subject objectively - shows a clear delete.
The problem with the whole argument is that the quasi-religious belief that every school article must be kept because all schools are inherently notable appears to override all concerns of verifiability and neutrality, to the point where nobody arguing to keep has even tried to fix the major issue raised at AfD, that the contents of the article cannot be formally verified per policy. Folk memory has it that one outright hoax was nearly kept as a result of this line of reasoning.
I'm rather hoping that someone on this list will care enough and have sufficient resources to actually find the reliable sources the article needs, since I have little doubt that the school inclusionists will see to it that it is kept one way or another, and the last thing we need is yet another unverifiable promotional article on a private Christian school. I can't find much other than directory entries, and I find I lose the will to live after reading a certain number of them.
