[edit] Gymnasium, Dimitrovgrad, Russia

Gymnasium, Dimitrovgrad, Russia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete as per WP:N, WP:ORG and WP:V. It seems to be a non-notable organization (probably school though it is not clearly mentioned in the article). Note that Gymnasium is a type of school and it has a standalone article on WP. But, current nominee seems to be a school of this type at Dimitrovgrad, Russia. I tried with different keywords in Goggle but failed to find any suitable reference. There is a school named DIMITROVGRAD, MUNICIPAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION OF EXTENDED EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN located at this place. I am not sure whether author tried to mean this institution or not. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 12:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Secondary schools (the article claims that it is a Grammar School) are inherently notable per the proposed notability guidelines for schools. It is reasonable to assume that the article is intended to be about the educational institution mentioned in the nom (good work tracking that one down) and should be stubified accordingly - in fact I'm off to do that right now as there seem to be just enough sources in English. If this AfD ends as 'keep' then the article should also be moved to the new name but I won't do that now as it would confuse the AfD process. nancy (talk) 14:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I was thinking the same on this one. General consensus at the moment is that secondary schools are notable, and there's no reason to exclude such schools in non-English language speaking countries.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Of course it'll be notable if any such secondary school exists. I am actually confused about its existence. Are they same institution? If so, then we may delete/redirect this page and move its content to an appropriate one. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 16:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
From what I can see there is definitely a school called The Municipal Gymnasium, Dimitrovgrad but I cannot be sure that this is the same as the Insitution that you dug up (could do with someone who speaks good Russian to confirm) so I have stubified the article by taking very basic facts from the Gymnasium's page on the Russian wiki. nancy (talk) 16:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Keep - I have dug up a source that explains the nature of the school quite well. I have also added some figures from the Russian Wikipedia. TerriersFan (talk) 03:44, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Nancy and TerriersFan, hopefully it will continue to be expanded. (jarbarf) (talk) 08:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: The fabric is poorly maintained? Wikilinking "students?" Such a precise name is never to be found, and the contents of the article do nothing to attest to the school's place. If it's real, it's just a school, but no reason to believe it is. Utgard Loki (talk) 14:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per TerriersFan. Looks a valid stub. If deleted redirect to town article education section. Sting au Buzz Me... 02:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per TerriersFan. -- DS1953 talk 18:54, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per TerriersFan and others, if over the period of several months it cannot be expanded further I see nothing wrong with a sensible merge and redirect. RFerreira (talk) 19:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
