[edit] Ashton College Vancouver

Ashton College Vancouver (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No claim to notability. My search for reliable sources to support notability come up with nothing. It is just a private non-degree granting institution in Vancouver.

Editors interested in this debate may also be interested in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Imperial Hotel Management College Afd, which is also about a private non-degree granting institution in Vancouver. Luke! 06:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Also nominating the following article because it is another private non-degree granting institution with roots in Vancouver that has no claim to notabilty. In what notability is claimed to "Canada's largest English Language schools" - I have tried looking for multiple reliable sources for this but to no avail:

• Comment Just another note: Vancouver Career College: Vancouver Career College (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) is another similar (non-degree granting) institution we should look at. Personally, I'm neutral but just feel quite strongly that we have to be fair and treat all similar institutions equally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Studentservices (talk • contribs) 20:08, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I consider all post-secondary institutions with a real existence to be notable, at least ones that give a diploma--as does this. I think this one is essentially equivalent to a US junior college. DGG (talk) 06:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Not really good justification considering the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Imperial Hotel Management College, also about a private post secondary institution that grants diplomas, Afd was recently closed with a delete result. Luke! 05:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per DGG and long-standing precedent here at AfD. Bearian 19:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

It would appear that the precedent for such post-secondary private institutions is delete, if this recently closed Afd is any indication. Luke! 05:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• good case for deletion review or just for recreation as a better sourced article--wrongly decided on the basis of the individual opinion of the closer. 09:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and rename to Ashton College (which currently redirects to the current pagename), post secondary colleges are usually notable, if only locally, because those qualifications are usually left on peoples resumes, and included in official bios, long after the subject has trimmed out the school achievements and BBQ courses. Lack of notability based on online resources is not reason for deletion, however the article does lack sources, and the first step to address that is to tag the article, and bring it up on a WikiProject that might be able to address the problem; it may be that someone needs to visit a Canadian library to find reliable sources. My google finds some useful resources: [1][2] John Vandenberg 03:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
