The result was Delete. Unfortunately the article does not meet WP:N, and rough consensus on this page is that it cannot do so. This result has no prejudice against recreation if it is found the article can meet relevant policies. Camaron | Chris (talk) 11:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] King George International College
Delete - No sources. Notability not established. The article reads like a brochure promoting this private ESL school. Reggie Perrin (talk) 11:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. GreenJoe 01:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - arguably Canada's largest English language school with five campuses. Obviously notable. It needs a good clean but that is not a deletion ground. TerriersFan (talk) 02:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Arguably, but according to whom? There is no source for that claim. Unfortunately, there has been a problem in Canada with privately run international schools of dubious worth attracting students from abroad on the basis of their website only to fail to deliver what was promised. Given that we have to be especially careful with these private ESL schools to ensure that their claims are backed up by reliable third party sources. Reggie Perrin (talk) 03:32, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Incidentally, their website claims they are "one of the largest", not the largest and they have four campuses, not five. Looking at the photos most of the "campuses" look like they are no more than a room in an office building.Reggie Perrin (talk) 03:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete unless reliable sources are provided. Terraxos (talk) 03:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Keep the article is a thorough description of a school system with multiple campuses nationwide and a strong claim of notability. Article needs to be expanded, not deleted, per Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Alansohn (talk) 05:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, may be legitimate but certainly falls short of WP:N. --Dhartung | Talk 09:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete WP:NOT#DIR. Also, per WP:SELFPUB, we cannot "expand, not delete" articles for which the only potential non-directory sources are the subject's own website and brochures. GNews hits consist of passing mentions in coverage about two women from Taiwan who attended the school and died in an unrelated bus crash [1]. cab (talk) 00:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
