One of the problems that gave this article the "advert" tag, is that while not containing overtly promotional language, it read like a copy of the school's prospectus. This isn't what Wkipedia is for. I've done some work putting the lists into prose and removing some inappropriately detailed listings (as has another editor). What this article now needs is a "History" section. How did it come about? Why? What people were instrumental in founding it? What about its other activities, e.g. it appears to have also entered into film production and has co-organized film festivals. Has the school had any notable alumni?. The sources added from The Guardian and Telegraph can reference a "History" section. Further research should reveal some references for notable alumni and details about the academy's other activities. I also suggest using Template:Infobox organization instead of Template:Infobox University. It's much more more flexible + the LFA isn't a university.

NB the article in the Telegraph is by the Director of the London Film Academy. I agree it is useful to an extent, but is not independent of the subject. Meanwhile the Guardian source seems to be much better and would certainly stop me questioning the Trust's notability at this stage. The improvements you've made to the article are exactly what was needed. Sionk (talk) 12:48, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I noticed who the author of the Telegraph article was, but it still has useful information. :) In terms of notability establishment, the Guardian one is key. Voceditenore (talk) 13:16, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
