MWICPS

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The entire article is seemingly composed from a primary source, by the school's founder. Aside from COI issues, which are in themselves not grounds for deletion, of course, I don't think the article currently complies with WP:V and WP:N, and my best attempts to improve referencing have been fruitless. Listing here for wider input. decltype (talk) 08:08, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: As sufficient evidence of the school's existence has already been provided  that should comply with WP:V, and the article has basically been rewritten to comply with WP:NPV, the only remaining issue that I am aware of is WP:N. I will continue to add information demonstrating the notability of this school for inclusion in Wikipedia. 119.194.121.90 (talk) 14:11, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - I've made my own attempts to find sources without success. This article seems to be WP:VANISPAMCRUFTISEMENT. --  At am a  頭 08:42, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The school's legally registered Korean name is 엠라이트국제대학입시학원 and may be found in a Korean search engine such as Naver.com or Daum.net. 119.194.121.90 (talk) 14:57, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually tried that earlier and couldn't find anything other than blogs, which are not usually considered reliable sources, and directory listings. Did you have some particular source in mind? Rees11 (talk) 16:40, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I will phone up the Ministry of Education after I get back from Japan on Wednesday and see if I can get an online link to a page showing the registration of the school in Korea, and I believe there are some independent news outlets who have already covered this school back when it was first introduced in Suwon. 119.194.121.90 (talk) 19:09, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete No evidence of the existence of independent coverage. Of the "references" included in the article half were not relevant at all. For example, there was a link to a colleges database which did not list MWICPS (if anything evidence of non-notability), and a link to a Wikipedia article which did not even mention MWICPS. Now that these have been removed the only remaining references are two to MWICPS's own web site and one to a page on a mapping site, displaying a map showing the location of the school. Searches also fail to find anything better. This is a new business which may or may not become notable in the future, but has not done so yet. The article was created and has been mainly edited by Matthew wright. The owner and "president" of MWICPS is Matthew Wright. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:32, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment MWICPS is not a college, but rather a "College Preparatory School". The school database contains accredited American universities and colleges that waive the required TOEFL/SAT requirements for admissions to MWICPS graduating students. MWICPS itself would not be listed in this database for obvious reasons. 119.194.121.90 (talk) 14:57, 7 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per JamesBWatson - notability may come, but is not there now. hamiltonstone (talk) 09:55, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete – per JamesBWatson. Maybe there are sources in Korean, other than the mapping web site? I couldn't find any, but then my Korean is pretty rusty. Rees11 (talk) 12:54, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I've uncovered a blog from a former student of MWICPS . There are other blogs talking about the school if you search for it in Korean. This particular blog tells about a girl who is going to be admitted into a California university through MWICPS.


 * Delete per Atama, nothing but an advert IMHO. Smartse (talk) 17:30, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nomination, borderline G11 speedy. ukexpat (talk) 17:54, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails verifiability bigtime. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:56, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete No reliable sources; fails WP:ORG. Johnuniq (talk) 02:34, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete; the original proposal is very astute-- though not itself grounds for deletion, it does demand some added weight. Since there presently isn't anything to bring it away from being a generic informational article without alternate resources and notability addressed, that COI issue isn't even the largest. Though I don't deny that a school of this "level" would end up with an article in many cases, no article is exempt from the basisc. Also, I'll support almost any reasonable use of WP:VANISPAMCRUFTISEMENT as above. If it all seems to fit, it's hard to ignore. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 05:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I originally proposed this article for deletion, and see now that I did it incorrectly. Apologies for that.  I've searched high and low and this "school" is completely unverifiable as far as I can tell. Scleaston (talk) 08:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Which reminds me, I forgot to mention in my nomination statement that I declined a speedy deletion of the article. decltype (talk) 08:16, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Frankly, you should have upheld the speedy nomination. A7 or G11 would have done the trick. The organisation does not appear to be the slightest bit notable, as is evidenced by the primary sourcing and the lack of independent sources. snowing in November.... HJMitchell    You rang?   18:20, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Be that as it may, it is not within my jurisdiction to delete articles that do not meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. decltype (talk) 06:52, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
