 * Merge to Tacloban. For now at least, a separate article about education in Tacloban isn't really needed. When merged, it should probably be in prose form instead of a simple list. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:40, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This list seems a bit too long to merge to Tacloban. I don't like plain lists like this (it's more like a WP:DIRECTORY) but it seems pretty common to list all educational institutions. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:33, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep As per WP:NRVE, sources are not required, nor is there any policy or guideline that prevents the addition of sources to articles without sources, although doing so during an AfD is risky.  This one article represents man-months of volunteer work that are needed for improving the encyclopedia, which would become dozens of stand-alone articles.  The path to encouraging such donations of time does not proceed with deleting or reducing what we have.  The world at large has an on-going interest and need to reference public sector institutions.  As per WP:NNC, "...no amount of improvements to the Wikipedia content will suddenly make the subject notable. Conversely, if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability."

 * Comment - my reading of WP:NRVE is the opposite of Unscintillating's. Closing admin, please check that. Bearian (talk) 15:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * How do we work toward consensus when the point being discussed is not revealed? Unscintillating (talk) 21:54, 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep and improve – It's a reasonable content fork of the Tacloban article. the Tacloban article is already quite lengthy, and merging the content of Education in Tacloban into it will only make it lengthier. Northamerica1000(talk) 02:41, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
