TLC International School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable school. Sammy1339 (talk) 18:32, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

On the contrary, TLC is one of three main international schools in Nouakchott. Despite its lack of web presence, which I have added, TLC is very popular with Mauritanian, Sudanese, and and Senegalese families looking for an English-based education for their children. --Jimmymansaray (talk) 18:54, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, no reliable sources provided. I only found brief mentions Tinton5 (talk) 19:27, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: the bar for schools is very low on Wikipedia. Even though I didn't find much to indicate the school was notable, I found plenty of online evidence that the school exists. I think we should keep it as part of the gazetteer aspect of Wikipedia. ubiquity (talk) 19:46, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - bar for universities is quite low; much harder for high school and lower to be notable. I found this article, but nothing else by way of coverage. If anyone can find any other coverage in Arabic or French, I'll reconsider.  —Мандичка YO 😜 22:17, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Pardon my lack of experience with wikipedia. I'm responding to Tinton5. Mauritania has a very small internet footprint in general. Check Peace Quilt from TLC and Official Facebook page. Also, '''what would be considered a notable school? Isn't any international school in a sparsely populated country notable?''' --Jimmymansaray (talk) 16:06, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
