 * Delete Like many non-profits, PEN tends to hyperbole. On its web site, it says it operates 219 schools.  If that were true, the article would be a speedy Keep.  I suspect instead that the SPA-written article is a fund-raising promotion. Rhadow (talk) 13:54, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. The Pakistan Today source was already in the article; I've used the other two found by and a government report that was also already in the article and rewritten it to be less fluffy and promotional. It's received ongoing coverage in an area where relatively little press coverage is online, and I too am hampered by only being able to search in the Latin alphabet. I didn't find anything else except a blog mention, but I believe what we have is enough to satisfy the GNG. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:25, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per Yngvadottir. I happen to agree with his logic who is an experienced Wikipedia editor for over 9 years. I took a look at the article and I want to correct the above impression that it operates 219 schools. The article's 'lead section' says that it's a non-profit organization that seeks to improve public education in Pakistan by adopting schools. Its main focus is on primary schools. I feel people should be given a chance to improve the article. Ngrewal1 (talk) 20:40, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
