San Diego Russian School

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

No indication of importance or notability. This is not a "school"; it meets for three hours once a week according to their website. I could not find any independent coverage about it at all. Four weeks ago I proposed the article for deletion; prod was declined by author saying "page will be improved in the coming weeks", but the article remains unchanged. It has no independent sources and appears to be 3 or 4 years out of date. MelanieN (talk) 01:22, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Non notable group, did not see anything indicating notability from quick searches. OSborn arfcontribs. 01:53, 17 September 2012 (UTC) The sources provided by below do not appear to be sufficient to establish notability. OSborn arfcontribs. 18:40, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. -sche (talk) 02:32, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - I have found zero reliable third-party sources to establish notability. Regarding the user's "page will be improved" message, they have had a month to improve the article including a simple edit here or there. Considering that the user has only edited twice this year and hasn't maintained a significant amount of activity since 2010, it's possible that weeks would be become years....and Wikipedia can't tolerate that. Additionally, I can't see how the article could be improved if it appears that there is zero reliable evidence such as news coverage. It is possible that reliable sources may be Russian but this may not be so, considering that the group is Russian-American. SwisterTwister   talk  02:56, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

If I find more, I'll let everyone know. Jrcrin001 (talk) 01:13, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 *  Keep  Changed to Delete - Article needs a lot of work. I found a source or two not in Russian that may help the article. The ones in Russian I have not cited.
 * Comment - I called them and other related numbers and even a Russian Friend. At this point the organization is non-accredited and with a social focus. The goal is to keep their children Russian heritage aware. Thus it is not a real school and fails notability. Jrcrin001 (talk) 05:19, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete, fails WP:ORG & WP:GNG, insufficient secondary or tertiary reliable sources to establish notability. It may be someone's worthy cause but that doesn't make it notable. Heck, it's not even locally notable as far as I am aware.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:09, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, not even a mainstream school that could be reasonably redirected to  its locallity. Fails WP:ORG & WP:GNG. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:30, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
