Genius Home Collegiate School

This article remains completely unverified. At the last AFD (which was "no consensus") some felt there hadn't been enough opportunity for verification. Some votes were conditioned on verifiability. All agree verification is required. So, hopefully there will be consensus this time. I am hoping we can keep the discussion to the topic of verifiability, as that's something everybody agrees is required (no point in a rehash of the usual school debate). Please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Genius home collegiate school for the last discussion. I do apologize for another renomination, and will try not to renom in the near future, as they are something of a pain. Rob 02:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

It's probably not necessary, but I'll recap the history, and issues:

  • The article was created on September 3, 2005
  • The article was first AFD'd on January 3, 2006. This was also the first day is was tagged as "unverified", making some feel there was no proper attempt at verification. However, there's been ample time since then.
  • Only two sources exist to show the school exists: the school's own web site, which is a free web host; and a couple job adds like this, on a site which anybody can make an add themselves.
  • The school's own web site gives contradictory info on what grades they teach. It's not clear if they teach up to grade or eight, or wish to do so.
  • The creator of the article has a user name, that's remarkably similiar to own of the school's owners names, suggesting self promotion.
  • The creator of the article was asked two weeks ago to provide verification, and has not responded.
  • Finally, there is not even a claim this school is licensed, and could be a fly-by-night operation. There's no truly independent verificaiton of existence.
