• Keep: There are sources available in the corresponding zhwiki article, and a quick Google search of the school's Chinese name "鄧鏡波書院" yielded a substantial number of articles, including articles from the Hong Kong Economic Times,[https://topick.hket.com/article/3892776/%E6%98%8E%E6%98%9F%E6%AF%8D%E6%A0%A1%EF%B8%B1%E8%A2%81%E6%96%87%E5%82%91%E8%91%97%E8%B5%B7%E6%A0%A1%E6%9C%8D%E8%BF%94%E6%AF%8D%E6%A0%A1%E8%88%87%E5%B8%AB%E5%BC%9F%E7%9C%9F%E8%AA%A0%E5%B0%8D%E8%A9%B1%E3%80%80%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E9%84%A7%E9%8F%A1%E6%B3%A2%E6%9B%B8%E9%99%A2%E5%A4%9A%E8%97%9D%E4%BA%BA%E6%A0%A1%E5%8F%8B] Sing Tao Daily,[https://hk.news.yahoo.com/%E9%84%A7%E9%8F%A1%E6%B3%A2%E5%A4%A5%E8%97%9D%E8%A1%93%E5%AE%B6-%E5%BB%A2%E7%89%A9%E8%AE%8A%E7%AB%8B%E9%AB%94%E6%93%BA%E8%A8%AD-215527271.html] and the Hong Kong Economic Journal.[https://www1.hkej.com/dailynews/culture/article/1625020/%25E9%25A6%2599%25E6%25B8%25AF%25E9%2584%25A7%25E9%258F%25A1%25E6%25B3%25A2%25E6%259B%25B8%25E9%2599%25A2%25E6%25A0%25A1%25E9%2595%25B7-%25E5%25B8%25B6%25E5%25AD%25B8%25E7%2594%259F%25E8%2592%2599%25E5%258F%25A4%25E9%25AB%2594%25E6%259C%2583%25E5%2582%25B3%25E6%2595%2599%25E5%25B7%25A5%25E4%25BD%259C] There are also a HK01 interview with the principal discussing the school's counselling services,[https://www.hk01.com/%E8%A6%AA%E5%AD%90/470141/%E5%B0%88%E8%A8%AA%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E9%84%A7%E9%8F%A1%E6%B3%A2%E6%9B%B8%E9%99%A2%E6%A0%A1%E9%95%B7%E9%99%B3%E6%B0%B8%E5%A0%85-%E4%BA%86%E8%A7%A3%E9%97%9C%E6%87%B7%E8%88%87%E7%A6%81%E6%AF%92] and a Kung Kao Po interview with the teachers and students about the religious studies experiences.[https://jy.catholic.org.hk/node/detail/7980/?back=/archive/?keywords=%E5%AE%97%E6%95%99][https://jy.catholic.org.hk/node/detail/8001/] (the interview is divided into two parts) Given the media coverage, NSCHOOL should be satisfied. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 12:23, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

• 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)

     The article notes: "The Hongkong Tang King-po College, in Kennedy Road, Wanchai, is a boys' secondary grammar school run by the Salesian Society of St John Bosco. The school was established in 1965 and is dedicated to the memory of Mr Tang King-po, who gave his house for the Salesian congregation to run a school after his death. It is a Catholic school and aims to provide an academic curriculum integrated with religious activities. At present 1,000 form one to form seven students are enrolled in 27 classes. Such subjects as mathematics, science, languages, history, religion and art are taught. There is a courtyard in the school grounds. But the school no longer has access to a playing field, so outdoor activities are limited. However, that does not keep the boys from enjoying a good game of soccer."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Hong Kong Tang King Po College ({{zh|t=香港鄧鏡波書院|s=香港邓镜波书院|first=t,s}}) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

• Weak keep. Gonna be honest, this isn't as clear-cut as I'd like. The sources linked by Prince of Erebor are not all independent sigcov – the last two links, from the children's part (Joyful Youth) of a catholic newspaper (Kung Kao Po), are probably the best. Cunard's SCMP article is fairly short, but I guess we can lower our bar for sigcov when the source was actually printed on paper – though it's mostly photos, the newspaper saw fit to dedicate an entire page to this school. What pushes it over the line for me is that the above list is not exhaustive. A search for "鄧鏡波書院" turns up more coverage, mostly routine school sports stuff, but also detailed features [https://www.hk01.com/%E4%B8%AD%E5%B0%8F%E5%AD%B8%E6%A0%A1%E5%9C%92/987650/%E7%B6%AD%E5%9C%92%E5%B9%B4%E5%AE%B5-%E9%84%A7%E9%8F%A1%E6%B3%A2%E6%9B%B8%E9%99%A2-%E9%BE%8D-%E6%AA%94%E8%B3%A3%E9%BE%8D%E4%BB%94-%E5%AD%B8%E7%94%9F%E9%9B%86%E8%B3%87%E5%88%B0%E5%8C%97%E4%B8%8A%E6%8F%80%E8%B2%A8%E4%B8%80%E6%A2%9D%E9%BE%8D][https://www.tkww.hk/epaper/view/newsDetail/1724484608361369600.html] and other interesting stories [https://www.hk01.com/%E7%A4%BE%E6%9C%83%E6%96%B0%E8%81%9E/1015226/%E6%95%99%E5%B8%AB%E9%81%AD%E6%8A%95%E8%A8%B4%E6%A0%A1%E6%96%B9%E8%A3%81%E4%B8%8D%E6%88%90%E7%AB%8B-%E6%95%99%E8%82%B2%E5%B1%80%E5%8D%BB%E7%99%BC%E8%AD%A6%E5%91%8A-%E7%94%B3%E8%A6%86%E6%A0%B8%E6%B1%82%E6%8E%A8%E7%BF%BB%E5%B1%80%E6%96%B9%E6%B1%BA%E5%AE%9A] (still not an exhaustive list). This isn't the most ironclad GNG claim and I know reasonable editors who would disagree, but in my opinion it's good enough. Toadspike [Talk] 11:35, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
