Taqwa International School

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

Indian primary school in Riyadh, closed in 2012 for flouting building regulations. Not notable, fails WP:GNG. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:52, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Keep - This article includes two newspaper references from Arab News which does an 'in-depth' coverage of the school, this one from 2007 as well as this one from 2011. In my opinion, it's enough for establishment of notability. Derivator2017 (talk) 11:24, 28 July 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Have you read those articles? "Taqwa International School, a new addition on the educational scene of Riyadh is the brainchild of a group of highly-educated, like-minded and motivated group of individuals. They all have a common vision of imparting quality education with equal emphasis on character building." An interview with the director! The second one is bylined 'Arab News Staff' (which means 'press release') and opines, “We have seen phenomenal growth without compromising our core values. We believe the school re-location will be a welcome change to students and parents,” Taqwa International School Chairman Rizwan Zahoor said, adding “This is what matters because this is our underlying commitment to parents.” SIGCOV?

 * Those are clearly based on press releases and hence, do not satisfy WP:INDY. 174.212.212.9 (talk) 22:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. I concur with 's (and IP's) assessment of the quality of the sources: Only an interview & press release. The ones from Daijiworld are both about the same incident, more or less, which is the closure of the school. I couldn't find any more coverage, and thus we have only 2 acceptable sources, one short of the minimum. And even then, both are about a single event – if the school is only notable for its closure, with coverage of that only by one source, it's far too little. --LordPeterII (talk) 18:31, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
