Content of article has been significantly expanded since previous nom but no citations have been added that demonstrate WP:NSCHOOL has been met. Since the previous AfD closed as draftify the article creator has moved it to mainspace twice without addressing or discussing the notability issue.

● Delete : I Have added some sources but they are mostly either unreliable, or don't have significant coverage. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 14:17, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some sources are interviews and not online sources. Thus, references were not attached. Samuel Ola (talk) 20:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interwiews are a primary source, in order for the article to be kept we need "significant coverage from reliable secondary sources". 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 13:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep There is a distinct lack of sourcing on the page, but we are told it was established in 1956 so this is a well established school, and this is botn out by having an active old students association (WESGOSA) which helps verify several notable alumni already listed, including the first lady of Ghana [1]. So this is a school with significant notable alumni. It is also the case study school in this Ph.D. thesis [2] on learning styles and academic performance in Biology. This study [3] also uses the school as the experimental group in their study on teaching trigonometry. Although the secondary information about the schools in these studies is limited, they do add to the case that the school is significant, well established and of note within the community. There is also a lot of news paper coverage, as noted above. Those are primary sources. What remains lacking at this point is a good secondary source that verifies the information already on the page. If we had that, this would be a clear keep. I have not found that yet, but I think there is a suitable case, based on the notable alumni, the active old student association, and the academic references, to argue this crosses the line.

+* '''Weak keep''' There is a distinct lack of sourcing on the page, but we are told it was established in 1956 so this is a well established school, and this is botn out by having an active old students association (WESGOSA) which helps verify several notable alumni already listed, including the first lady of Ghana [https://www.adomonline.com/ghana-news-wesley-grammar-old-students-salute-first-lady/].
