How is it that in the six years that this article has been in existence no-one has considered it notable enough to add independent references? &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:17, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Sources are only required for controversial statements or quotations. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a search engine.  And AFD is not cleanup. Warden (talk) 22:23, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete There are no independent references whatsoever available to add. I spent an hour looking a while back--nothing. GNG is not passed in any way, nor would it be possible for the article to pass GNG with additional work. Jeremy112233 (talk) 13:58, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment It is a bit strong to say "no independent references whatsoever available" - see the book and publication references that I added yesterday. As to whether these are sufficient to demonstrate WP:ORGDEPTH, that is a matter for discussion. AllyD (talk) 16:54, 7 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep 63-year old educational institution with 36 campuses world-wide and 80,000+ alum. As a non-profit with international scope, I think it qualifies on the notability criteria.  I assume it doesn't belong in the entry, but the IES-Beijing program was ranked as the #3 study abroad program world-wide in 2012 by Abroad 101, and #1 in Asia.

 * Keep, the nomination does not provide a policy-based reason for deletion, to the point where seafood seems in order, which is dissapointing from such an experienced editor. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:19, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
