[edit] Sarajevo International School

Sarajevo International School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Not notable. Seems to be promoting one person, the principle. Conflict of interest? Lsiryan (talk) 22:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Delete per nomination. Not a notable article, mainly promoting the principal.--Pecopteris (talk) 22:47, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletion discussions.
  • Keep. High schools are generally notable, and this is a school which includes the high school grades. --Eastmain (talk) 23:49, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Not sure why the article is thought to promote the principal. Many school articles include the name of the headmaster/principal, but it would be quite simple to remove that information if it is considered promotional, and keep the rest of the stub, rather than take the article to AfD. The article was quite poorly sourced; I added a reference. --Bonadea (talk) 07:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I would feel easier about the nomination (not that it bothers me much) if the nominator hadn't been essentially a SPA involved in a different school article nominated for deletion. --Bonadea (talk) 07:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep accredited international secondary school--all such schools are generally considered notable. DGG (talk) 17:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Notability is not confirmed in a basic Google search. If my fellow editors can support the subject's notability, I would appreciate their input. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep — - as per DGG. Rosiestep (talk) 22:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - our coverage of education in Bosnia and Herzegovina is slender enough without deleting one of the few articles we have. We need to be wary of systemic bias. As a high school it is notable and the content is verifiable. The suggestion of promoting the Principal is simply wrong; the name of the CEO of any organisation is routinely included and his previous work in China is interesting and encyclopaedic. TerriersFan (talk) 17:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - sources added establish the school's notability. Alansohn (talk) 17:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: The references establish notability. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 20:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
