ChinaCast Education

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

The article says ChinaCast Education Corporation is the leading for-profit provider of post-secondary education and e-learning services in the People's Republic of China. However, no information can be found on Chinese search engines, and in fact, the media does not continue to focus on this for-profit learning organisation, which is in line with Wikipedia:Notability.Zhuo1221 (talk) 05:18, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article needs major work, as it is basically just a promotional piece at this point. However, it is absolutely trivial to find sources reporting on this company 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. It is clear that no WP:BEFORE was done here. The sources being old ("the media does not continue to focus on this for-profit learning organisation") isn't relevant, as notability doesn't expire.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The sources found by Cortador demonstrate that ChinaCast Education passes Notability (organizations and companies). Cunard (talk) 10:34, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep the article could benefit from a refresh. I've included some older sources for for future comments. I think this article could benefit from a rewrite to make it more engaging, with removing promotional information.Dejaqo (talk) 19:51, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep there are plenty of sources discussing this subject at length. I just added a link. Much more could be done to improve the article.Agree with @Cortador it's clear no effort was made to search for sources before bringing this AfD. Oblivy (talk) 07:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
