International Studies Abroad

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Promotional article on a company. All references are either from their own website or from the website of organizations which are very closely related. None are from independent sources, which is what WP:GNG requires. Fails WP:CORP and WP:GNG. Snotty Wong  confabulate 22:39, 27 December 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * keep References have been added from secondary sources to meet WP:GNG requirement, though there are still a bit from their own website. While organization shows up a few times in news searches, simple web search brings up an overwhelming hit count - namely from university study abroad offices (hundreds). This is the case with the field in general (see Study abroad in the United States, though this article should meet WP:CORP and WP:GNG guidelines more than existing ones that need improvement that I haven't gotten to yet (but should): American Institute For Foreign Study; Institute for the International Education of Students; Academic Programs International; Council on International Educational Exchange. user:everdayzac (talk) 19:51, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. Lacks reliable sourcing. There are only two Reliable Sources cited in the article, and they are both passing mentions about the organization's leasing space in a building. Google News search finds nothing of significance. --MelanieN (talk) 20:49, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
