Keep. The article has very little content but it is notable to have a school in Japan teaching in English. Japanese schools are desperately undre-represented on Wikipedia. How many schools in the UK or America teach Japanese? See Category:Schools in Japan. We should be working to expand the Japanese school articles which exist not deleting them.

~~Delete~~ Merge - as the article currently stands, it misses on Notability, Verifiability, Reliable Sources. Made recommendations on creator's talk page for finding WP sources for improvements. If sufficient reliable, secondary sources can establish that this is a notable TEFL school in Japan, then consensus could change. --Daddy.twins (talk) 18:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Update per a refinement to the proposed guideline Wikipedia:Notability (schools)#Failure to establish notability. If a suitable place to merge can be found, then I recommend placing this article there until sufficient notability can be established. --Daddy.twins (talk) 01:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is 5% of all the schools in Japan according to the wikipedia category of that name Victuallers (talk) 20:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. As it stands, it satisfies the criteria for Speedy Deletion, since it does not even assert notability. --DAJF (talk) 02:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete English schools in Japan are a very big cottage industry. The industry has an article and major schools can have one, but this one is minor, with 15 locations employing 3-8 teachers at each. That sounds like 75 teachers (but I don't know whether they are all different or if one teacher covers more than one location). There are plenty of smaller schools with one teacher, but this is not a Berlitz, Nova (over nine hundred branches), ECC or other major. It's not a university or a high school; it's not even a big cram school. Just one of an enormous number of English-teaching schools in Japan. Fg2 (talk) 02:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Without sources, more information, or a dedicated editor, this article adds little or nothing. Adam McCormick (talk) 05:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
