No reliable source to pass WP:GNG and does not appear to match any of WP:NBOOK's criteria. — Alien333 ( what I did

I expect there's coverage in historical newspapers. -- asilvering (talk) 22:20, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Weakkeep: I've found two pieces of coverage (The Observer and Coventry Standard), but they are a bit shorter than I'd like. There also might be some coverage somewhere between pages 142-149 in From Morality to Mayhem: The Fall and Rise of the English School Story, published by Lutterworth Press, but whether this is about the book or the series, I can not tell as the preview cuts off. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 03:01, 29 August 2024 (UTC)- However, if a decision is made to delete this article, a merge/redirect to St. Clare's (series) would be preferable.

- Comment: I've struck the Weak part of my !vote. I have access to the book I mentioned, and in my opinion, it contains sufficient coverage to count towards WP:NBOOK. If anyone would like to take a look, please email me. Pinging @PARAKANYAA as their !vote is based on mine. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 14:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Weak keepper ARandomName. Some of the coverage makes me think all these articles might be better off upmerged to the series even if they are technically notable, but that can be done editorially. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:21, 29 August 2024 (UTC)- Keep, per the coverage in the book above and Oaktree b. PARAKANYAA (talk) 14:20, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as there are two arguments to Keep but they are Weak Keeps so additional opinions would be helpful here.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:13, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Some coverage here as well [1], probably just enough with the sources in the comment above. Oaktree b (talk) 00:21, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
