It's time to have this article

@Gannicus73: @John from Idegon: @Mjs1991: @Bkissin: @Theroadislong: @Centrx: @Pilotguy: I ended up finding sources in The Journal Times and I think that should solve notability requirements. I think we should shift away from considering do we approve Draft:The Prairie School and instead it should be "What should be taken from Draft:The Prairie School"?

Also what seems to be going on is that Wikipedia:Articles for Creation reviewers are being overwhelmed by the not-so-good sources found in the draft. I found that some of the Journal Times articles I found were used in the draft, but all of the promotional fluff was drowning those ones out. This time I made Journal Times the main source so the scenario becomes crystal-clear. It's important that I wrote this article from scratch. Anyway what might be a good idea is telling people on AFC to only selectively cite the sources needed to prove notability. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:06, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And I found another article from a different kind of reliable source: "Low-Maintenance Fixtures Secure 53% Savings for Historic School". Buildings. Stamats Communications, Inc. 2016-03-28. p. 22. Retrieved 2019-07-02. - This is a trade journal article which shows up on the University of Houston library academic search engine. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:55, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Re: John's comment on "You will need to lose everything you have that is sourced to the school, Carney Sandoe, Niche or Private School review." - As a notice, Wikipedia:Primary sources can be used to source information about the school, but the article should not be primarily made up of primary source information. As for "Carney Sandoe, Niche or Private School review" I agree those should not be directly cited. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:49, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to link the names of the founding Johnson's to their independent Wikipedia page Samuel Curtis Johnson Jr. Imogene Powers Johnson. Also the Samuel Curtis Johnson Jr. page mentions The Prairie School, so this could then be linked back to The Prairie School page.Gannicus73 (talk) 12:44, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
