HOLY ROSARY ACADEMY, MOLO, ILOILO CITY

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This appears to be (a) blatant advertising (written in the first person) (b) unsourced (and I can't find any) and (c) directly copied from something (but I can't find what). Chris (talk) 20:19, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources he used are at the bottom, just remove the word template and you have a functional web address. That being said, the sources are inadequate and the subject fails multiple policies, including WP:N. Sven Manguard  Talk  22:23, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Really? Because one of the links is dead and the other one comes up with a web site that does not have the word for word information this article does. Can you quote a specific URL where you found the copyright infringement? Redfarmer (talk) 22:30, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Directly copied no, poorly written and/or ESL, yes. This is full of personal opinion, sections written as advertisements, and still is not properly sourced. The one existing source is a self-source, which doesn't really count. A lot of people see ESL (English as a Second Language) writing and think it's copied from somewhere. I don't see copied text, but the other issues do concern me. Sven Manguard  Talk  23:27, 11 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment: I'm undecided with this one. As it is, the article definitely is not encyclopedic and would need a serious rewrite. I'm not convinced by the nominators rationale that it is advertising (if it were, it could be speedied). Most likely it was a new contributor who didn't understand how to format articles. This article asserts that this academy was only "the second Filipino congregation of nuns founded in the Philippines" in 1925. That could be notable and someone who knows more about Catholic affairs than me should probably comment on this. Redfarmer (talk) 22:27, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - While I am a big booster of Phillipines articles on Enlgish Wikipedia, this is beyond an ugly mess. It is a stub about a Catholic school that is really an advertisement for the Beatification of a late nun. Bearian (talk) 00:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete obviously copy and paste. but 1 gnews hit doesn't cut it . LibStar (talk) 01:23, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment The article is about a school, and schools are generally notable. The article is written very bad, and the whole thing is unencyclopedic. However, instead of deleting it, we can put this whole thing together by rewriting it, or sourcing it if possible. You know, there are lots of school articles in Wikipedia that are sourced, yet they are existing here.  JL 09  q?c  17:38, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It isn't an article about a school, it's an advertisement for a religious institution and the beatification of one of their sisters. I can't find information about a school on their website, certainly nothing about a high school (the policy you are referring to says that generally high schools and up are notable, while middle and below are not) Sven Manguard  Talk  01:22, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Tell me, where can I find a specific part that justifies the claim that it's about the beatification of one of their sisters. Or am I skipping some part of the text?-- JL 09  q?c 12:19, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Unverified. There is absolutely no solid information at the article worth retaining - not even an address - and I could find nothing solid on the web. I couldn't even find out whether it is a secondary school (which are generally kept per Wikipedia consensus) or an elementary school (which are generally merged to the locality). In this case, I wouldn't even merge to Molo, Iloilo City since nothing is verified. The school doesn't appear to have a website; the only link provided is to a convent (which is where all the cheerleading about beatification is located). (BTW there appear to be dozens of schools, in different parts of the Philippines, called Holy Rosary Academy.) We do try to keep articles about high schools, but there is nothing here worth keeping. --MelanieN (talk) 21:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
