Afedena school

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Seven non-notable elementary schools and one project article about these elementary schools. A year ago, an AfD on 7 other elementary school articles, part of the same field project and created by the same editor, was closed as 'Delete'.

All 8 articles were created in full by now-blocked spammer/sockpuppet editor Jnyssen, and illustrated with his own photographs. The articles are cited predominantly to Jan Nyssen-authored books/papers (authorship frequently disguised or not disclosed in Wikipedia), or cited to masters/doctoral students' theses and dissertations (none published per Google Scholar). From Jan Nyssen article (created by Rastakwere, editor Jnyssen's sock): "He promoted dozens of Master and PhD theses, particularly at UGent (Belgium), KU Leuven (Belgium), Mekelle University (Ethiopia) and Bahir Dar University (Ethiopia)." These 8 articles seem to be part of that 'promotion'. More fundamental than just being badly sourced, the subjects of the 7 school articles don't pass notability standards WP:NSCHOOL, WP:GNG, WP:ORG. See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I'm less certain about the project article, School WatSani. Platonk (talk) 10:28, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I didn't really look into the notability of these articles, but I think they can be deleted without much controversy due the consensus in the prior AfD and the fact that the articles were created by a blocked spammer and sockpuppet. There's no point in encouraging spammers/sockpuppets by keeping them around. It's not like the articles can't be recreated by someone else if the schools are really notable anyway. No big lose in the meantime though. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:04, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
