Shunan English School

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article has existed for years and has a complicated history with a lot of deleted revisions (COPYVIO problems? Maybe an admin can check). In any case, all previous versions have the same problem: a complete lack of references. Google finds nothing other than job openings at the school and Wikipedia mirrors. The general notability criterion is not met. Pichpich (talk) 20:16, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Well, the present version is basically the work of and it's his sole edit on Wikipedia so that doesn't look too good. As for the many redacted versions in the history, I took a look at the talk page (should have done that sooner!) and it seems like the article was used to attack the school for the way it treated its employees. But in the end, all versions, positive or negative, have zero reliable sources. Pichpich (talk) 21:30, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Comment: According to its website, the Japanese name of Shunan English School (SES) is "周南英会話". Here is a source I found:  The article notes: "県内唯一、英語に特化　SES周南英会話　 　周南市桜木1丁目のSES周南英会話（小林弘幸社長）が創立50周年を迎えた. 社会人向けのビジネス英会話、英検受験対策な..." From Google Translate: "SES Shunan Eikaiwa (President: Hiroyuki Kobayashi) in 1-chome Sakuragi, Shunan City, SES Shunan Eikaiwa, the only company in the prefecture that specializes in English, celebrated its 50th anniversary. Business English conversation for adults, measures for Eiken exams..." Cunard (talk) 09:05, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article does not assert substantial notability either as a school or as a company. This is a small for-profit organization and would need to pass WP:NCORP. I am not convinced that the local newspaper article fulfills the requirements for significant independent coverage in reliable sources. We can only see two lines of it and can't be sure whether it is dependent coverage; this level of coverage is probably routine. Dekimasu よ! 07:18, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
