Non-notable school system in Australia, possibly the target of UPE. Prior to this I rewrote the article so as to not make it look like a spam piece, using sources I found off of Google News (granted not the highest quality of sources but they were pretty much the only usable ones I could find with the search I did ("Kangan Institute")). Earlier today, an IP removed those sources claiming that the sources I used are evidently about a different Kangan Institute. As I don't 100% believe this claim, have no desire to get into an edit war, and am highly sceptical these users would even respond to the results of any dispute resolution methods (again, there seems to be some UPE going on here) I am calling their bluff and sending it to AfD, on the grounds that if the sources I found are not about Kangan Institute then there aren't enough suitable third-party references for there to be an article. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 18:23, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Long-running and well-known education provider in this part of the world (and not a "school system" - it's the Australian equivalent of what would be a community college in the US). The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:48, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: I've just given the article a quick rewrite from scratch because it was a dreadful article on a notable institution, so nothing in the present article is the same as when the nomination was made. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:05, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Also: basically every other TAFE institution in Australia has had articles for years, as they've been understood to have inherent notability. This would set a nasty precedent for our coverage of Australian higher education. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:34, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - The RfC on WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES in February of last year concluded that notability is not intrinsic for schools. There needs to be sources to prove notability. That said, you've done a much better job than I did cleaning this up, and I commend you for it. Thank you. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 18:49, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thank you! To be clear though: that was an RfC on secondary schools. This is a higher education institution equivalent to community colleges in the United States. The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:00, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - In any case, consider the AfD withdrawn. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 03:57, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
