Taurus Education

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article, while wikified, is about a company which does not appear to be notable and includes no external links. A Google search doesn't reveal much beyond the companies own websites.  Flying  Toaster  07:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * If you use Taurus' Chinese name (拓思教育) in a Google search, you'll find that the company comes up a lot more. Remember that the company is based in China and does business there as well. Naturally, the name is better known in Chinese circles. In the external links, there are currently only links to articles in English. The reason there are only English links in the Wikipedia entry is that it is presumed that most readers will only be able to read English. However, the company's audience has both Chinese and English members. Feel free to try a search on a popular Chinese search engine (such as Baidu). Also, remember that Chinese has both simplified and traditional characters (the Chinese name above is written in Simplified), so a search using simplified characters may exclude some hits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lamplighter30 (talk • contribs) 08:19, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Another note: Taurus is a legitimate company that has worked with representatives of major U.S. colleges and universities in China. More information about this can be found on Taurus' website. Taurus also puts on information sessions for high school students in China and has served as the only source of information (other than the Internet) for many students. Taurus' name is well-known in the Chinese high school community. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lamplighter30 (talk • contribs) 08:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - no proofs of notability per WP:CORP. Links to its own website is not reliable, facebook is even more unreliable, and bbs is the most unreliable sources (see WP:RS. Dekisugi (talk) 08:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
