Private educational institute with no indication of WP:Notability. Only external link is to a free web host providing the institutes website. Google searches not finding any signficant coverage. noq (talk) 12:03, 11 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I concur that this article does not meet notability guidelines for Wikipedia and should be removed.Ultimatemythbuster (talk) 12:49, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. It's full name appears to be "NINARO HIGHER EDUCATIONAL CENTER". Not that that helps, appreciably. Epeefleche (talk) 03:06, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete No notability, no GNG, no nothing. Some IP keeps adding spam links to the page. Delete it is from me. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:57, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per the above deletes. Epeefleche (talk) 16:06, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Keep . Private, but there are plenty  of private establishments providing  mainstream education  to  A-Level. That  its web site is on  a free web host  is not  a concern of ours, not  should we be overly  concerned about  the lack  of Internet  sources for  a school  in  Sri Lanka. The article is informative and not  promotional. Spam links can be contained by  regular maintenance users. We  have a long-standing precedent for keeping  secondary  schools as reported at WP:OUTCOMES. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:05, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." WP:ORG There is no indication that this organization is subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.--Rpclod (talk) 21:54, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Please see some of the policy at   WP:ATD-M and WP:ATD-R (these are policies rather than just guidelines)., and bear in  mind  that  if school  articles are not  allowed to  be deleted per WP:A7 and only  need to  be proven to  exist, then this article shouldn't  even be here at  AfD.

 * A7 relates to criteria for speedy deletion and relates solely to "notability". This is not a nomination for speedy deletion.  Even for speedy deletions, verifiability and reliability of sources remain criteria.  Noq raises valid concerns regarding the latter issues and none of the current references are reliable sources.--Rpclod (talk) 15:18, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I am frankly unsure of the nature of these "educational institutions" that do not 00specifically call themselves "schools", can you enlighten us. Some of them are not mere tutoring academies. And from the description in our article, I think that this one is just that. -- offers course in various unrelated subjects, no indication that it leads to a degree. If it were a secondary school I would of course be !voting "keep", but the bar for tutoring academies is much higher.    DGG ( talk ) 20:04, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * , I'm not so  sure that  it  is a mere cram school. It seems to  be a lot  larger than that  and it  does offer education to  university  entrance level. I  have changed my  !vote to  'Comment'. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:00, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * , not a cramschool exactly, but a place that offers courses in specific subjects, but not degrees. We've usually defined the sort of school we keep as a matter of course as one that a/has real existence and b/offers a high school diploma, or a college degree. (making appropriate modifications in terminology for the country's educational system). Some people add c/accredited, but I consider that not necessarily a requirement. Of course, there will always be borderline situations, but I think its clear from their website they do not offer anything corresponding to a degree.  DGG ( talk ) 18:11, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree with DGG here. Going by this theory, anyone can create a website of a fictional school and a few facebook/twitter pages and come to Wikipedia. Notability must be established through atleast one reliable source. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:37, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
