This guideline helps to clarify the notability question. In some cases, you may need to justify to other Wikipedians why the article topic is notable and should remain in Wikipedia. Coverage in published, reliable, secondary sources that are entirely independent of the subject, and which treat the subject in substantive detail is the key to ...
Having published work does not, in itself, make an academic notable, no matter how many publications there are. Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study. This notability guideline specifies criteria for judging the notability of an academic through reliable sources for the impact of their work.

While satisfying these notability guidelines generally indicates that a school warrants an article, a school article failing to do so is not a criterion for speedy deletion. This guideline can be considered a specialised version of Wikipedia:Notability applied to schools. It reflects the core values of Wikipedia policies, including the following:
Notability once conferred is perpetual, unless the thresholds for notability as defined in Wikipedia:Notability are changed or the assessment of notability was flawed. Once sources exist they do not simply go away even if they become old, generally forgotten, superseded, or hard to find. The notability demonstrated by those sources persists.
The wiki-notability ecosystem is the main screening system for existence as a separate article. Decisions made in the name of notability are based on a combination of: Degree of availability of suitable sourcing/coverage from which to build a suitable article
