Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Knowledge Valley Schools

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to List of schools in Egypt. There is a wider consensus that primary schools get redirected to the school district page but since this is in Egypt the relevant list is good enough. Spartaz ^Humbug! 05:45, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Knowledge Valley Schools[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails to meet WP:ORG. Schools are not an exception to the notability criteria. Searching on Google News reveals no relevant news items to support a claim of notability. Raising for discussion as schools normally have a generous interpretation for notability. Fæ (talk) 21:50, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - includes a high school; the reasons why we keep these are given in the essay WP:NHS. As a British school in Cairo, it is particularly unusual. Schools in Egypt have a poor Internet presence and, to avoid systemic bias, time should be given to enable local sources to be researched. Finally, I note that the page was nominated for deletion just 7 minutes after creation, whilst it was still being written by a new editor. This is not best practice; new editors should be given advice and guidance not have their pages rushed to a deletion debate. TerriersFan (talk) 02:09, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You are referring to an essay rather than a notability guideline with a verifiable supporting consensus. Just as valid is WP:OUTCOMES which would clearly prefer a merge if sources are not forthcoming. The nomination was based on a search for supporting sources I made myself, rather than when the article was created. Fæ (talk) 11:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I do accept the criteria laid out at WP:NHS, as do most discussants here, and I would have voted "keep" if this was a high school. However, it is not. Per the school's website [1], it serves children through grade 7. There are apparently plans to add a secondary level [2]; if and when that happens it would qualify for a Wikipedia article. --MelanieN (talk) 01:43, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - good catch; I had misread the page. TerriersFan (talk) 17:49, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of schools in Egypt, where I have added it. As now established that it is not yet a high school this is the best solution since there is not a good geographic page to merge to. TerriersFan (talk) 17:49, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
