The result was Delete. The article title does not seem to be a plausible redirect and a merger to British Council does not seem to be very feasible, given the current structure of that article. In the absence of any convincing evidence that this branch is separately notable, I close as delete. Randykitty (talk) 14:59, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep/merge The nomination seems quite tentative and the worst case would be merger into British Council per WP:ATD. Andrew (talk) 06:35, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Question Hi - How is it "tentative"? Perhaps I should rephrase my nomination - I failed to find any reliable secondary sources that establish it's notability generally or as an organization. And it's been sitting tagged with concerns since 2008. So not too tentative :) ) SarahStierch (talk) 06:43, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The nomination was created at 01:31. At 01:28, you were creating Articles for deletion/BRINT Institute - another drive-by nomination of an unrelated organisation.  At 01:33, you moved on to the unrelated topic of Guillermo Cabanellas.  You seem to have spent about two minutes on the matter and that doesn't seem enough time to do the due diligence of WP:BEFORE.  When I look for sources, there seem to be numerous references indicating that this organisation is active in sponsoring a variety of cultural activities and that it is one of  "Amman's top two language schools".  There's an obvious alternative to deletion in that this is the regional office of a global organisation and so merger up a level would be a sensible alternative.  What we seem to have here is a rote nomination of a topic because it has had a tag for some time.  But AFD is not cleanup. Andrew (talk) 07:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete: I am not seeing anything regarding the organisation itself which is not better at the (unlinked) British Council article. An article on an organisation branch is justifiable only if it is of demonstrable individual notability. What we have here is some material about the part of the host city in which it is situated and some text on the edge of incoherent in the Strategy section, none of it referenced (and hence not appropriate for an upmerge).
