"Little else is known about the school". To me, this is a case of missing notability. Raymie Humbert (local radar | current conditions) 00:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

School of condors

 * Keep: This appears to be a case of lost in translation. "School of Condors" turns up little, but the Spanish spelling "Escuela de Condores" turn up more. Some sources a Google search turned up:
 * | SpecialOperations.com
 * | Google Books for a book by Lesley Gill
 * | List of Bolivian Military Schools from Photius.com
 * | Google Translation of the Bolivian Order of Battle for 2003
 * Based on the sources a quick Google search turned up, I think the subject of the article passes WP:Notability/WP:ORG. Weak article, notable subject. The article needs work, not deletion. If the article is kept, a redirect from "Escuela de Condores" should be added, or this article should be moved to that name, replacing this article with a redirect to that name.

Comment: I'm not gonna !vote because the article is so small and unsourced it's not worth keeping, however the nom's complaint is notability, which Jo7hs2 seems to have taken care of. If it's kept I would suggest moving to this name. Ryan 4314  (talk) 20:40, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I said I was open to both, but I think if the article is kept, we should leave it at the name "School of Condors", and create a redirect from "Escuela de Condores" to it. I feel that way because it really is just a spanish-english translation of "school of", not a name, per se, since condor is the same in both languages. Jo7hs2 (talk) 21:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Comment (Made Improvements): I have made significant improvements to the article. I ordinarily don't do much article rescue work, but in this case the school appears to have historical notability, and that notability is shown via several sources meeting WP:Notability, including a book, so I had to do what I could.

 * Keep Article is sourced and notability has been established. --J.Mundo (talk) 01:15, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
