No indication why this school is especially notable. No sources. — Timneu22 · talk 16:07, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incubate The Barbir location in Lebanon exists, and as its a school, it should be in Wikipedia. This nonsense about some schools being notable and others not, will end up with a tiny minority of the worlds schools in WP, and the vast majority not being in it. An when that day arrives, WP's reputation will be severely damaged and usefulness severely curtailed. All schools are notable. scope_creep (talk) 23:05, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- What? I went to an elementary school. It exists. But it's not notable because it exists. — Timneu22 · talk 22:12, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yea. Schools are used by 100's of folk everyday and that makes them notable. To only have a small percentage of schools in WP is madness. scope_creep (talk) 00:36, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - There is some deli in NYC where 100s of people eat per day. Is it notable? — Timneu22 · talk 11:21, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, when that day arrives LOL pomposity.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 12:29, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. In my view, the problem here isn't notability: we generally accept that any legitimate high school is notable. The problem is a lack of verifiability. There don't seem to be any sources, whether primary or secondary (not even an official school website) to write anything about the school other than its name, which appears on a list of schools under the aegis of the Makassed Philanthropic Islamic Association of Beirut[1]. I would have suggested a redirect to an article about this organization or about Makassed University, but there is no such article although the university is listed at List of universities in Lebanon.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - All I get on Google is the facebook and tsome person's name. No reliable sources for notability. Derild 49 21 ☼ 14:25, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Even the naming is dubious and not the official anglicized name of the school anyhow werldwayd (talk) 16:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
