Zhongshan Memorial Middle School
The result was   merge/redirect. Because there are some signs that this school could be the subject of non-trivial coverage in Chinese secondary sources, and per precedence for middle schools, I am merging and redirecting to Zhongshan. Okiefromokla questions? 19:53, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


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

Chinese school whose notability is not confirmed. If notability can be determined, please let me know. Otherwise, it would appear to fail WP:N. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:46, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - could not find secondary sources in English, and my Mandarin is not very good, but there appears to be no secondary sources on the Chinese Google either. Hopefully a Mandarin language expert can come along to confirm this. - Samuel  Tan  06:52, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. 119 entries in Google Books. http://books.google.com/books?q=%22%E4%B8%AD%E5%B1%B1%E7%BA%AA%E5%BF%B5%E4%B8%AD%E5%AD%A6%22 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.103.92.247 (talk) 07:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Middle schools have not generally been kept in AFDs, and the Chinese language Google Book hits could be about anything. We need some bilinguial input here: How many of the claimed Google book hits are about this particular institution, with substantial coverage, as opposed to passing reference or directory listings?

 * Comment There are a decent number of hits on Google under its Chinese name (中山纪念中学), but you're right: almost all of it is random listings and postings. Its [Chinese Wikipedia page] only contains a brief history and a list of principals. --Jh12 (talk) 03:54, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no notability. American middle schools generally redirect to their district, UK equivalents to their towns; I'm not sure what is appropriate for Chinese middle schools. If a target is found I would support redirection. CRGreathouse (t | c) 04:33, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Zhongshan, where the school is listed. Since there's only one sentence involved (the school history), we could add it there. --Jh12 (talk) 21:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Zhongshan as suggested above. TerriersFan (talk) 21:31, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
