Notability issues

This article have no notability. I think fails WP:GNG. At present I add notability tag. No significant coverage found. - Jayanta Nath (Talk|Contrb) 18:51, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

• Why do you think the article has no notability? This[1], [2], [3] and this[4] are all independent reliable sources which passes GNG plus notable per WP:NHS.--Buzzzman (talk) 21:11, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

@Buzzzman, first the number of reliable sources are not prove its notability, its need with significant coverage.

February 26, 2003 HAMTRAMCK A $3 million charter elementary school is planned at an eight-acre Hamtramck site that had been used as the city's Department of Public Works yard. A corporation called Community Service Enterprise Cosent Inc., for short is buying the land and building on Buffalo Street for $860,000. The property must be rezoned from industrial to residential so approval by the City Council is needed. State law requires that schools be built in residential areas, explained the city's

Hamtramck schools' spending investigatedApril 16, 2003 519 words IDdet16196414The Hamtramck Public Schools took 18 months -- and $80,003 to erect a picnic pavilion that originally was purchased as a picnic shelter kit for $2,000 at a home-improvement chain store.

District's finances get state scrutiny June 25, 2004 HAMTRAMCK ? The state Department of Education on Thursday agreed to send a team of academic and financial experts to conduct reviews of the financially troubled Hamtramck Public Schools. Martin Ackley, spokesman for state Superintendent Tom Watkins, characterized the move as "state assistance" rather than a state takeover. However, a financial review is the first step toward a takeover under Michigan law. Camille Colatosti, president of the local school board, said she hopes the

Above all three linked text above ( last fourth link is not about this article) news not about the school, about investment and talk, move etc. Please read carefully again WP:SIGCOV. I think this not a significant coverage.WP:NHS till is not a policy , it is essays. Please read what is essay and what is policies.- Jayanta Nath (Talk|Contrb) 06:07, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

• I'd like to request you to read WP:NNC. Maybe significant overages not added from secondary sources but how do you justify the claim This article have no notability and i mentioned WP:NHS (which is well discussed in the community) to reach a consensus for notability for high schools. If you have issue with WP:NHS then i'd advise you to raise your concerns in the talk page.--Buzzzman (talk) 06:54, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

As I stated on his talk page, WP:GNG dictates that this is notable. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:00, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

I have not applied AFD due to frequently they will be kept by WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES.- Jayanta Nath (Talk|Contrb) 06:27, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 06:42, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Note that "Hamtramck Public Schools" is the government agency that controls all of the public schools in Hamtramck. It is not an individual school. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:42, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Oh! government agency really?? Then it should kept here. Thank you for clarifying. But please improve the reference. I am adding {{Refimprove}} tag.- Jayanta Nath (Talk|Contrb) 07:45, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

If your concern is the use of too many primary sources (sources from the school district itself instead of from a secondary source) there is a specific primary sources tag that can be used. Anyway, school districts in the United States are local government agencies that control public schools in a particular area. Often they are independent of municipal and county control, and they only answer to the education department of the U.S. state it is located in. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:39, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

• I still don't understand how {{Refimprove}} is applicable while {{Primary}} is there?--Buzzzman (talk) 06:54, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
