Modern Montessori School

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability of the school not established, and simply being a Montessori School is not notable. It also happens to be "accredited" through a Montessori association started by the same person who started and heads the school, and not by a third-party Montessori accreditor like the IMAC. IB affiliation isn't really a unique factor either; it's just not that big in certain countries. MSJapan (talk) 17:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - article cites no reliable third party sources that are independant of the subject, which is the standard per WP:ORG. Blueboar (talk) 18:05, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment, a quick Google search turned up a few sources:, . Not sure if any of those are reliable so I'm not going to vote keep or delete. Tavix (talk) 20:54, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - ISBI has no information save the name of the school (for example, age range is listed as 0-0, no enrollment figures, no head of school listed, etc.), so I wouldn't consider it useful or reliable because it's incorrect. I don't think the ISBI site (which allows schools to send in whatever info they want as per the note at the bottom of the page) counts as RS or independent.  In short, the sources are not pertinent to notability, only existence.  To address the systemic bias comment below, if it's a school in Jordan that gives classes in English in order to comply with IB standards, why does its supposed greater presence in non-English sources matter to its notability?  It's catering to an English-speaking clientele, so it should have more hits in English than any other language. MSJapan (talk) 02:46, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per the sources found by Tavix. Furthermore, this school teaches students from 3 to 18-years-old, which means it is a primary school and secondary school. All high schools are notable. Cunard (talk) 22:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: there is no such consensus. Drmies (talk) 00:40, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Has any verifiable HS been deleted in the last year? If not, I'd at least say this is the de facto consensous. Hobit (talk) 16:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - as with all high schools sufficient sources to meet WP:ORG will be available. Jordanian schools don't have a good Internet presence, in English, on the Internet so local and Arabic sources should be researched and added to avoid systemic bias. TerriersFan (talk) 22:46, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per TerriersFan, we generally keep HSs because they can reasonably be expected to have sources enough to meet WP:N. Hobit (talk) 16:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
