Secondary school but zero independent reliable resources are available to verify the information in the article. Without even the possibility of verification of the information, this article must be removed from the encyclopedia. Delete Drawn Some (talk) 05:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep - if all secondary schools are considered notable, there is no reason to make this an exception. Its existence is easily verified through, for example, this gov't document: [http://www.deped.gov.ph/cpanel/uploads/issuanceImg/R04A_2007-08%20Masterlist.xls]. Wikimapia even has a picture of it: [http://wikimapia.org/8220559/Divine-Jesus-Learning-Center-Inc] --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:12, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

::It's not just enough to verify that it exists, the information in the article must be verified. Because of the utter lack of resources, all we can say is that it exists. If you have sources to verify anything else about the school, by all means share them. The burden is on those who say "keep" to justify that opinion. I don't see any such sources. Drawn Some (talk) 15:32, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

::Also, I have been informed by User:DGG that the best way to alter guidelines is to change practice first and then change the guidelines to reflect practice. Since there is not even a guideline that says all secondary schools are notable, this school is good place to start in changing the current practice of accepting them all as notable so that a guideline can be implemented saying that they are not. Either reason, the lack of notability OR the lack of verifiability of the information, is sufficient reason for deletion. Drawn Some (talk) 15:37, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

:::Of course all the content has to be verifiable and that does not appear to be possible from publicly available materials online. Presumably it could be substantiated from offline sources, but since that is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future I am changing my opinion to "redirect to Bacoor, Cavite#Education" where the school is already mentioned. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:05, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete. As I said when I prodded this one, there's no assertion of notability, [http://www.google.ca/search?q=%22Divine+Jesus+Learning+Center%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&start=30&sa=N google search] yielded no evidence of notability. (I also agree with Drawn Some that the practice of accepting all secondary schools as notable could use some review. I don't see a good reason for schools to be getting an exemption from meeting the general notability guidelines.) Dawn Bard (talk) 15:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Merge/redirect to Bacoor, Cavite#Education. The article states that the school only educates to secondary year four which makes it a middle school not a high school. TerriersFan (talk) 18:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm prepared to accept that this is too minimal and fails V.. At some other similar ones, we tried to find out whether the HS was substantial, or whether it was a few people only, who continued there. DGG (talk) 03:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
