Prometeu-Prim Lyceum

While language is no doubt an issue, I cannot find a claim to or evidence of notability for this school. Without that, there's no need for an English language article as we do not seek / nor should we be a directory of all schools that exist. Star  Mississippi  22:49, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - like the nom, this could be a case of not being able to find articles due to the language/alphabet differences, but searches did not turn up in-depth coverage so as to pass WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:22, 23 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Prometeu-Prim could be seen (by UK readers) as a Moldovan equivalent to Eton College. In the last decade it was among the top-ranked high-schools as measured by pupil success rate at the Baccalaureat exam. Other than it being located in a non-English speaking country, I do not see a reason for deleting it. Would adding a few links to media resources change your opinion, Star Mississippi?

 * Delete from what I can tell the only coverage about this school is extremely trivial and not usable for determining notability, for instance there's 4 references stating how many of the students passed the Baccalaureate examines, which just comes off like ref bombing and doesn't help for notability. I couldn't find any in-depth coverage when I looked either. So I'm not seeing how this passes WP:GNG. In the meantime I doubt it's a language issue, more just that this isn't notable. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:59, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

 * " I cannot find a claim to or evidence of notability for this school" is the reason for deletion. The language issue may hinder finding that evidence, but what you've added doesn't convey notability, or backup for an Eton comparison unfortunately. It needs to be signifcant, in depth coverage about the school. A dispute between founders doesn't really add anything about the school. Star   Mississippi  02:11, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment. The idea that Prometeu-Prim could be seen as a Moldovan equivalent to Eton College seems to be excessive hype. One of the things Eton has that makes it distinctive is a very long history. Eton was founded in 1450; Prometeu-Prim was founded in 1993. Prometeu-Prim may be a good high school but it has a short history and very few notable alumni (anyone over age 46 or so would be too old to have attended it since it wouldn't have existed when they were in high school). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:27, 2 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The analogy with Eton was not made due to history, but due to the quality of education as proven by the success rate in passing the Baccalaureate exam. In itself, being among the top-ranked schools is arguably notable enough to be worth a mention in the Wikipedia. Regarding "ref bombing", the added references were meant to prove of the media interest for this institution. Dsmntl (talk) 21:23, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
