Eureka Language Services

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

They have won a few start-up business awards but are basically an English language training school in Hong Kong. Fails WP:GNG and has elements of being a promotional article. Britishfinance (talk) 19:38, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: does not meet WP:NCORP. Just a promotional directory listing. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:28, 9 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete G11. I don't object on creating article about British Council HK and some tutoring school that became listed company (i.e. may have enough GNG and company in-depth coverage). But this one, never heard of it, no RS to support WP:GNG notability, and G11 speedy deletion tone (promotional tone). Matthew hk (talk) 08:39, 11 February 2019 (UTC)


 * BTW the firm did have significant size based on google hit of the Chinese name "雅理加語言教育中心" or "雅理加語言培訓中心". However still lack of GNG passing news article. Matthew hk (talk) 08:42, 11 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep, with edits! (Author) Hi all, writer of the article here. Thanks for your thoughts and feedback. Wrote this article as a start to flesh out the Education in Hong Kong/China category. As Matthew hk pointed out tutoring schools and British Council are quite notable in Hong Kong even if they don't always meet the GNG criteria. It's a hugely influential industry in the city and Eureka is notable in the education sector here especially amongst local schools. I welcome suggestions to remove anything that sounds promotional.--Funkymonkeyinthesun (talk) 09:53, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Thanks but Wikipedia is not a forum for promoting a business. There are better websites for you for such a purpose. Britishfinance (talk) 10:33, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm sorry that you have that impression. My intention is to move onto improving the following existing articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_Level_Learning, continue to expand (from the Chinese article) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Red_Cross_Youth_League, and increase https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_English-speaking_Teacher_scheme. I have no intention of promoting a singular business, so I would love to know your feedback so that I might be able to continue to improve the category "Education in Hong Kong" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Education_in_Hong_Kong.

 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2019 February 13.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 00:12, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * It seem it was transcluded (Special:Diff/881316076), somehow relisted the Afd (Special:Diff/882422654) and not sure what happened after that. Matthew hk (talk) 05:57, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I edit-conflicted with myself is Special:Diff/882422653. I have brought it up with the XfD closer script's creator, and know how to avoid this in the future (don't relist afds from their subpages to soon after each other). Sorry, --DannyS712 (talk) 06:04, 13 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - Clearly promotional per nom. I would need to see more sources in order to support the claim that language schools are especially notable in Hong Kong. Skirts89 01:38, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Unable to locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 18:20, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
