Talk:GEMS World Academy – Tianjin Eco City

Redirect
This article seems to have been redirected and blanked in error. It desperately needs sourcing, but sources can usually be found for secondary schools. Dahliarose (talk) 09:49, 21 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Apparently, the only place that claims that this is a secondary school is WP, and WP can't be a reference for itself. The article contains zero independent sourced references, and school website itself says that it's a primary school, so I'm reverting back to the redirect.

 * This is definitely a secondary school. I've found a source here which confirms that it is teaching through to "high school levels" though it doesn't state the ages: http://www.ameinfo.com/245821.html. This article confirms that it will teach the IB http://www.tianjineco-city.com/en/NewsContent.aspx?news_id=12315&column_id=10349. The school only seems to have opened in 2011. It seems to have attracted a surprising amount of press coverage for a new school. Here's another article: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporebusinessnews/view/1016433/1/.html. The question is whether there are sufficient sources to write an encyclopaedic article for a newly opened school. Dahliarose (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Looking at those sources, all were published between November 2009 and January 2011—long before the school opened. That is, they're just WP:CRYSTAL about future plans.
 * I have not been able to find any sources saying the school has ever enrolled a secondary education student. According to the school's own registration page, they're only accepting K-8 students for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 terms. With no references about the school since it opened, and no references saying that the school has secondary students, I think it's insufficiently notable and should stay a redirect per WP:Articles for deletion/GEMS Wellington Primary School and WP:Articles for deletion/GEMS Jumeirah Primary School.

 * I think you're right. I hadn't previously realised that the school was so new. Likewise I cannot find any references since the school opened. Perhaps in a few years' time there will be sufficient sources to write an article. Dahliarose (talk) 09:15, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
