[edit] Hong Kong International School

The article contain a lot of unverifiable data. Nobody care to mantain the article and it is a constant subject of vandalism. Then vandals inserted obscenities I know it is vandalism. If the vandals change the name of the principal I have no way to check if it is a real info or a vandalism. I suggest deletion per WP:NOR Alex Bakharev 09:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. The existence of the school is well verified, and there are independent sources about the school, including the United States Department of State [1]. It appears to me that most of the information present is available on the school website so I cannot really call the article original research. Even with quotes, Google gives a massive 32,300 hits, many of them relevant. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and Revert to a clean version - An article being vandalized is not a reason to delete. This is Articles for Deletion, not cleanup. Torinir _{( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options )} 16:56, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep — Cleanup will suffice. — RJH (talk) 17:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Article needs cleanup and improvement, but the fact that it has been vandalized is no justification for deletion. Alansohn 08:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is where requests for protection should go. Tonywalton  | Talk 10:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The greater problem with this article is the content, not any vandalism. The article content reads like a press release and contains little independent verification. Merely copying someone's promotional material does not meet the requirements of what an encyclopedia should be.

• Keep My reservations about the notability of most schools aside, I don't really see this as a WP:NOR issue. Also, vandalism is not, in and of itself, a legitimate reason for the deletion of an article. Trusilver 01:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
