English Opens Doors

 * – (View AfD (View log  •  AfD statistics)

Declined G11 nominee. Sources seem questionable, but my knowledge of Spanish is somewhat lacking. Seems to lack notability, based on the way a lot of the references look. SchuminWeb (Talk) 20:36, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I live in Chile and I've never heard about it, probably it's a hoax, and if its true, it's promotional, non-encyclopaedic. -- MisterWiki  talk   contribs  21:27, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - It most certainly isn't a hoax. Either that or the wool has been pulled over the eyes of the New York Times which is the very first reference provided in the article.  Many of the other references appear to be dead links but this one works and is also about the program.  I didn't comb through the rest of the referencing but I suspect that there's likely to be more Spanish language refrences available. -- Whpq (talk) 17:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Still being non notable. It can be redirected to Education of Chile or Culture of Chile instead, because I live in Chile and I've never heard about it (except about the English classes, obviously, but about English Opens Doors, not). -- MisterWiki  talk   contribs  22:25, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * We gauge notability based on coverage in reliable sources. We don't base it on personal knowledge.  Just because you have not heard of it does not mean it is non-notable.  It's quite apparent that the New York Times found this effort notable enough to devote a newspaper article to it. -- Whpq (talk) 22:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: not a hoax, and seems to have attracted notability. Referencing has suffered from Chilean web content management systems I think.  MisterWiki could make himself useful by reading the Spanish sources. Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:40, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I readed some of the sources and appears to not be a hoax. Well, some of them I can't even understand but (the article) its needed to be rewritten, removing all autopromo statements.
 * Keep Per above comment. -- MisterWiki  talk   contribs  19:38, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep i judge it better to improve the style and citations of the article and put a clenup or similar template above than deleting. I will try to contact the creator. In his user page. Dentren  |  Ta lk  02:42, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
