Culinary School of the Rockies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

nothing more than a run of the mill commercial educational facility, much like a tech school or a business school. No indication of meeting either WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. In addition, the name of the article's creator indicates both WP:COI and WP:PROMO.John from Idegon (talk) 04:37, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Notice - The Culinary School of the Rockies is now known as Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. If looking for sources, use the latter term. Once the AfD is over the article should be moved to reflect the newer name. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  18:08, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep as passing WP:CORPDEPTH. Source examples include:, (pp. 99-101),  (p. 111), , , ,  (pp. 105-106), , , , , "Cooking School of the Rockies" - NBC's Today Show, March 2002. Northamerica1000(talk) 10:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts - The Culinary School of the Rockies is now known as Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. To give you an idea of the difference this makes, the Rockies name returns about 29k ghits. The Escoffier name returns about 359k. Passes GNG and ORGDEPTH. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  18:08, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I only got 10 g-news hits on the full new name of the school and none of those were this particular one. It is a chain name and generally individual units of a chain are not notable.  If you just searched "Escoffier", I could understand all the hits.  That is the name of one of the most acclaimed cooking schools in France! John from Idegon (talk) 02:07, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * furthermore, when you add in Boulder, it goes down to 120K hits. but I'm wary of WP:GOOGLEHITS. the vast majority of google returns are just directory listings of culinary schools or WP mirrors. not proper sources. LibStar (talk) 02:12, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Regarding It is a chain name and generally individual units of a chain are not notable: There are 2. One campus in Austin. Now one in Boulder. That said, I agree there's see no reason to have separate articles for each one. Keep, move to Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, and expand to discuss the school more broadly and incorporate the Austin location. Clarified my keep above. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  01:12, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment Thanks to for pulling up those mentions of the school, but that is all they are is mentions.  The only one that speaks in detail, for what could be seen, was the one from Highbeam, but that sure read like a press release to me.  I see no indication of depth.  Even the brief mentions in stories that are listings or on another subject appear to be from more or less local papers, hence not meeting WP:CORPDEPTH.

 * Keep Professional cooking school that is more than two decades old. 19:08, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
