Easy Keep - It is also covered in A Basic Baha'i Chronology by Glenn Cameron
[1], though not in much detail. There is a 4-page article in Baha'i News November 1988
[2]. As for references outside of Baha'i sources, there are numerous articles covering it by independent newspapers. It has gone by "Maxwell International Baha'i School", "Maxwell Baha'i School", and "Maxwell International School". Searcing the right terms, I quickly came up with articles where the school and its students are the main subject, not trivial mentions:
[3],
[4],
[5],
[6],
[7],
[8],
[9],
[10],
[11], and there are many more. In 1998 it was independently ranked 61 out of 256 high schools in British Columbia
[12].

Not able to verify the sources as they are behind the paywall. Cuñado and Tarikhejtemai are Baha'i editors, may be that's the reason they want to keep it. I could not find anything significant about this school except in the Baha'i published sources.

WP:Paywall: "Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access." Also, you are a single-issue anti-Baha'i editor, if we're talking about biases.

You have referred to 12 mentions in newspaper articles. Just because a school has been mentioned in a newspaper it doesn't make it notable. In fact newspapers frequently publish articles on local schools and their activities and achievements. Notability aside the whole article has no sources and

Neither of those apply.
WP:ORG does apply, and says: "the organization has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization". It attracted the attention of many newspapers and several Baha'i publications. If you're so passionate about notability guidelines, go put an AFD on
Homer High School (Louisiana).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Consensus is building towards Merge but could do with further input.

Merge as per Orville and Timothy - seeing as the school has been closed for a while it makes sense to integrate sourced content into a "History" section of the school that currently occupies the same grounds. Mention could also be added to an article on the
Bahá'í Faith in Canada, since it would be relevant to such an article. dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc09:14, 30 January 2021 (UTC)reply
