Kansai Christian School
Article asserts no notability, provides no references. Without references, it fails WP:V which states such material may be removed. Fails proposed WP:SCHOOLS. Borderline NPOV. Was prodded, prod removed by user who removes prods on any and all schools. Akradecki 22:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. I can find only one real page about it (here), but there isn't enough to write an article. Additionally, the supposed official site of the school is 404. I say "supposed" because I can only find links to the page, but the page doesn't exist. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  00:05, 19 October 2006 (UTC) Changed, see below. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk  to Nihonjo e  06:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weakest of all possible keeps. The trend seems to be for high schools to be listed, as long as it is not overtly POV.  International schools are also notable under criteria 4 of WP:SCHOOL.  This school certainly existed at one point (in addition to the page cited above, I found an obituary of a former teacher which mentioned his time there, along with a few other non-directory passages).  I can't find proof that the school still exists; but, that's not a critical fact (WP exists not only to document 2006, but years before).  The article needs some major clean-up, though.

 * Delete, at least as long as (i) the article alleges without good evidence that The ratio of the teachers to students is very small, and (ii) the article doesn't give the Japanese name, by which one may google for more evidence. -- Hoary 02:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete because of lack of content and references. A full-blown article with references would warrant a keep. --Richard 05:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a school. It's in Japan. It has teachers and pupils and stuff, and they learn about God! Okay, that does make it slightly different from most Japanese schools (which also have teachers and pupils, but don't give God so much time), but I see nothing to suggest that it is actually of momentous significance in the history of education, which should be our criterion for including schools, even if the lack of a lower age limit for editors has led to rampant cruft. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 08:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, geez I guess the schoolwatch crowd only cares about American schools. Montco 02:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Kana: 関西クリスチャンスクール Archive.org has an old version of the school's webpage which may or may not be a reference. I personally feel that all articles should have secondary and tertiary references to exist. --Kunzite 15:49, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, this link could be used as a secondary reference to the school. So, I change to Keep. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  06:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep.  There appears to be many references available on this school, some of which are on archive.org.  I will be expanding and reshaping this article over the next few days as time permits.  Silensor 20:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * When you do, drop a note back here, and I'll consider withdrawing the nom. Akradecki 21:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
