The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Delta English School until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:35, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * User:Wandaraskin - It is unfortunate that you spent a considerable amount of time on the Wikipedia article that has been nominated for deletion. However, it appears that the basic problem is that you didn't know what Wikipedia's policies and guidelines are, and in good faith assumed that you could create a Wikipedia article about your employer.  As to what you can do, there may not be much that you can do to preserve the article.  You can move it to draft space, but draft space is not searched and is not seen by search engines.  On the one hand, you can try to find third-party references to establish notability, but you also have a conflict of interest.  You can ask for advice at the Teahouse, but the advice is likely to be similar to what I have said.  Robert McClenon (talk) 21:08, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

I have added categories and external links to the Delta English School article. We will soon be adding third-party references to establish notability to this article. I am surprised as to why Delta English School's article is flagged for deletion while articles pertaining to other Sharjah private schools continue to exist on Wikipedia for years even though some of them fail to meet the stipulated evidence guidelines. We would like Delta English School to have an article on Wikipedia so as to inform the UAE parent community (and do not intend to use this article as an advertising medium). Any assistance would be appreciated. Wandaraskin (talk) 22:13, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Delta English School copyright concern
I have removed some of the content you added to the above article, as it appears to have been copied from http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/education/khalifa-issues-national-reading-law-1.1921852, a copyright web page. All content you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:39, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Diannaa. I thought that since I referenced and cited the source, I could add the content verbatim. In future, I will paraphrase all content posted in Wikipedia to avoid any copyright infringement.Wandaraskin (talk) 22:57, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
