Canadian School of Kuwait (CSK)

Deprodded without comment by WP:SPA article creator, my concern remains that I can find no reliable sources indicating notability for this elementary school. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:14, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete for lack of proof of notability. — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 16:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have also looked for coverage in reliable sources but not found any. --bonadea contributions talk 14:18, 14 January 2012 (UTC)


 * merge as usual to a suitable article, even if it is necessary to make one. There is no possible reason for not keeping the information, and none has been given. The deletion nomination just says it is not notable by itself, which is true enough;  but a redirect to a list is in order. I note that this is what is done 80% of the time--the few deletions will be taken to del rev as inconsistent with the policy that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.

 * I'm sorry what does "the few deletions will be taken to del rev as inconsistent with the policy that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia" mean? I don't understand what you're saying. And what article do you recommend making, to merge this to? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:17, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * All of the text in the article is both un-referenced and challenged, and is therefore not suitable for merging in its current state. That could change, if it were brought inline with our core verifiability policy by the addition of inline citations which are currently absent, per WP:CHALLENGED.  But as the article stands now, a merge would not be appropriate.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:13, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. All content in Wikipedia is required to be referenced, so it is inappropriate to merge unreferenced data. Stifle (talk) 11:37, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was my reaction, as well. DGG's views in this case sound, to me anyway, like WP:ITEXISTS. If this is a non-notable primary school, why would we merge it anywhere? Or worse, "make" a merge target that sounds, to me, like a WP:COAT article, simply for the purpose of preserving non-notable content? He surprised me with this one, coming as it does from an experienced admin, but perhaps I've misunderstood him.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:24, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * We do have a meta consensus on this kind of educational establishment. Redirect to Education in Kuwait with a merge of anything sourced. It would be extremely unlikely that the local press in Kuwait would have never written about this school but equally there would inevitably be issues with the independance of the sourcing as english local papers in the Gulf tend to reprint a lot of press releases on slow news days - which is pretty much every day...

 * I see. Thanks. Yes, there are links to "American", "British" and other such schools in Education_in_Kuwait. I have have no objection if someone wants to add the school to the list, though importing text on who owns and runs it, if it is non-notable, would seem to me to be spamming the main article.
