elc International school

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

Notibility issues have been raised. Avi (talk) 13:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep due to coverage in what I can only assume are reliable 3rd party sources | here. Although, the article as written does look too much like an advert and contains a substantial amount of information that isn't required. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:07, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is a significant international school and, unusually for such schools in Asia, sources are available that meet WP:N. The way forward is to add the sources and improve the article, possibly from local searches, not to delete. TerriersFan (talk) 15:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - in the interest of full disclosure this was posted on my talk page:
 * "Hey, a couple days ago you contested against User:Avraham that elc International school is not a notable school. Officials from the school has contacted me about the article and that they would like it removed, otherwise as a student I might be well..sought after. Could you please remove it ASAP? Thanks, -- Hana ichi  10:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)"

 * Keep per TerriersFrank. poor HanaIchi :S Gorgonzola (talk) 15:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Fine then I'm basically screwed over creating an article which the company wishes not to have. I'm calling (on orders) the principal later in the day to sort this mess out somehow. Wish me luck...-- Hana ichi  23:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I am not sure of the concern. It is not unusual for schools' administration to object to Wikipedia articles. However, this is normally when there is something particularly negative in the page. In this case the only section that looked in any way negative was the discipline paragraph and I have thinned it out to make it read more neutrally. Anyway, good luck in your discussions.

 * Comment - Main concerns turn out to be infrequent vandalisms which occur from time to time. The school doesn't want to have a bad reputation. Thus far, either we comply and delete the page, or they want the page to be semi protected at the very least.-- Hana ichi  10:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Naturally, it would help to keep it on your watch list. We don't semi-protect articles out of the blue nor do we delete either at the request of the subject organisation nor because of the threat of vandalism. If the article requires protection it will get it but we are not there yet. If it gets vandalised we deal with that and/or the vandal as we do with many other school pages.

 * Keep, but it needs some third-party sources for verifiability and as evidence of notability. As a general rule, international schools can be assumed to be notable. --Orlady (talk) 17:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
