Why would you want to delete this page?[edit]

It is informative for everyone who wants to figure out, what The School Of Life is. Who's founded it. Where they are based. I was happy finding it today and found valuable information. Please resconsider deletion. That does not mean, that I don't see room for improvement. I would contribute, as soon as I got more knowledge about it. J.JoeB (talk) 21:24, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I echo JoeB's reasoning and would also contribute when I find time to research the subject more thoroughly. I would like to stress that I am not familiar with a similar project and therefore think that its unique aspect of a philosophical enterprise deserves to be well presented. Sadly, the editing has made the page very uninformative, because reference to the founder seems to be missing in the first few paragraphs, yet he suddenly appears in the criticism segment. Also, the text's body has a pin-size head of an introduction and huge feet of criticism (hope that this metaphor works in English as well as it does in my native language). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.93.46.108 (talk) 19:39, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that it would be more appropriate to edit this page than to delete it. This organization seems suspiciously like Scientology. It's Youtube videos have a pretty clear bias against established religion. In other words, it seems kind of like a cult. The fact that most of the sources are the company's own website suggests that the company is controlling the article, which again makes it sound like a cult. I would not suggest saying in the article that it is a cult or even that critics have suggested that it is cult-like, but more well-researched, unbiased facts seem to be in order. ~~Aaron Poley~~

Deletion proposal[edit]

The article is written like an advertisement, the subject is not very notable as can be seen from the vast majority of the references being the website of the company, and it is edited by the company often as well it seems. Curious Sargon (talk) 17:40, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

outdated links[edit]

I'm sorry if this is not how I'm supposed (I'm new to wikipedia and I don't know where to search other than here) to do this but there are outdated links in the references of the article (5^[1] and and 8^[2]), thse are the links that lead to the school of life's website, should I delete them first or just let them until I/someone else update them ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jossebul (talk • contribs) 18:52, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
