Council of British International Schools

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Extensively edited by WP:COI WP:SPA editors yet still entirely lacking in reliable, verifiable, independent sources. The only independent sources I've come across are of the rent-a-quote variety. Comprehensively fails to meet the requirements of WP:NORG. If it weren't for its longevity of 12 years I'd tag it for WP:G11. Cabayi (talk) 12:01, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Delete per WP:TNT - I looked the page over and I think it should be blown up and deleted WP:COATRACK There's  probably a notable subject here but the article needs to be blown up and started over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericjcarrmiddletownde (talk • contribs) 16:35, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Clicking on the link provided (News) produces 259 results. It starts with UK Government 1 Sepember 2020 You can't get more recent or Notable than that. It is a stub- it needs work, not long essays or discussion.--ClemRutter (talk) 20:05, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   19:31, 3 December 2020 (UTC) You are right. Notable, this is the sort of umbrella organisation that does't generate press coverage deliberately. I included the reference as it shows it sits at the top table of government. I am not writing the article, so |I didn't dig deeper. Try this independentschoolparent.com article Googling is not helpful as most link to its marketing acronym COBIS- and that acronym is used by others. International School Search is another article which will be useful in expanding what we have got.

 * Week Keep this is probably notable, although that isn't clear from the status. did you include the right link? What I see is someone from the council attended a meeting, which doesn't establish anything.       StarM 03:06, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete or send to draft as 'undersourced, incubate in draftspace'. Evil laugh. It's not notable as it stands, has zero independent coverage. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:34, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I found this "The Council of British International Schools (COBIS) represented 250 schools, yet this was allegedly only to be about 15% of the total 'British-ethos' school global market (Lynch, 2008). The Federation of British International Schools in South ..." at https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Changing_Landscape_of_International/p-rpAwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Council+of+British+International+Schools%22+-wikipedia&pg=PT105&printsec=frontcover but I am not sure if works to support or detract from notability. My google search was inconclusive. Jeepday (talk) 17:03, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
