- The Arabic Wikipedia article cites only this source [1] which is the only place that I found any articles about the school itself.
- All articles I found:
- 1. [2] talks about a programming event that happened at the school.
- 2. [3] talks about how a worker at the school continued his education.
- 3. [4] talks in passing about virtual learning at the school.
- 4. [5] talks about ceremony with Chinese team at the school.
- 5. [6] Talks about the restoration of the school after the war by UNICEF
- It seems like the school was in the news for some events but not enough to demonstrate notability 2620:6E:6000:3100:B42A:8CC:2EBD:B38D ( talk) 23:16, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. We've got plenty of coverage of the school and the activities associated with it. This includes a
SANA piece from about a month ago, another
number
of
stories from 2023 about the school's academic performance,
more 2023 coverage from SANA,
2022 coverage from al-Binaa, a
full-length piece about the school from Al-Ouruba, and some
more mundane coverage of solar power and the school. In short, I think that we have multiple independent sources that are reliable (as far as covering an elite high school is concerned), and as such this school passes

- All the articles you linked talk about another school. They are talking about "First Al-Bassel school" in Homs. The wiki article in question is specifically about the Aleppo one.
- They are both in same series of school: "مدارس المتفوقين" or "schools for outstanding students" and identically named(after the president's brother). But they are completely different schools.
- For example: Al Basil High School for Superiors has the same name but it is located in As-Suwayda. (the article has the same issues with notability)
