Gateway Group

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP: NCOMPANY, in that there is no verifiable evidence that company has attracted significant/in-depth coverage in multiple independent verifiable secondary sources (see WP:ORGCRIT - which generally follows WP:GNG but puts a greater emphasis on the quality of the sources, in order to eliminate justification on the basis of press and promotional coverage of the company being used as arguements that there is significant coverage in multiple sources.

 * Keep, as it is the parent entity which owns several popular schools in Sri Lanka, although I agree the current article currently lacks sufficient references. See also Articles for deletion/Gateway College, Sri Lanka. Reh  man  09:01, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, I've searched and can't find any reliable sources that support WP:NCOMPANY - just because the company owns schools in Sri Lanka doesn't make it automatically notable. If you can find evidence that satisfies WP:ORGCRIT then I be prepared to reconsider this nomination. Dan arndt (talk) 09:19, 1 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep but needs drastic improvements, After additional research - I found enough secondary sources for Gateway Group NirvanaTodayt@lk 10:40, 7 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment, in accordance with WP:GNG, they need to provide significant coverage not just mentions in passing in press releases or promotional pieces as most of thses appear to be. Can you be more specific as to which reference supports the organization's notability - rather than just a Google search link. Dan arndt (talk) 02:36, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: fails WP:NCORP / WP:CORPDEPTH. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:22, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep There seem to be plenty of sources on various aspects of the group (the schools, the awards organised, etc.) -, I'm sure there are likely more (perhaps even more in Sinhalese sources).  The college itself might have been worth keeping (a number of the sources are about the college), but it has been redirect here, so we ended with this parent group only. It appears to be a significant provider of education in Sri Lanka, and should satisfy WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Hzh (talk) 23:21, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
