List fails WP:NLIST, and if seen as a WP:SIA, it also fails NLIST (The criteria for creating, adding to, or deleting a set index article should be the same as for a stand-alone list.) But it should not be seen as a set index article because the members do not share the same or similar name. As initials are not names, having the same initials (together with ostensibly having the same initials, but not being known by these initials) does not change the fact that these are all essentially different names. Page resembles a dab and is tagged as a dab on the talk page, but it is expressly a list and not a dab, stating even that "Not all [entries] are known by their initials". Dab-valid entries appear to all be included in CGS (disambiguation)#Education, so there's nothing worth preserving here.

• Delete, delete, delete. Looking at the history, it appears that I created this article 8 years ago. While I don't remember doing it, I had been trying to improve some articles such as CGS (disambiguation), and in the history of that article I indeed find: 19:27, 14 September 2015‎ Pol098 talk contribs‎ 998 bytes −680‎ schools (many not known by their initials) removed to separate article undo. Basically I felt I couldn't simply delete entries, so I ought to shunt them somewhere out of the way. By all means delete. If you look at my contributions to disambiguation pages for initials (usually ending in "S") at that time, you may find other cases. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 00:12, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  This recommendation to delete applies to any schools' initials articles I created in about 2015. Pol098 (talk) 14:55, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
