WP:DELSORT/EDU

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Education. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Education|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Education. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Deleted via PROD last year, recently recreated as a translation of bn:রেডিও কলোনি মডেল স্কুল এন্ড কলেজ. Meets neither WP:GNG nor WP:ORG, so fails WP:NSCHOOL. Searches in English and Bengali found nothing but passing mentions and indiscriminate directory listings.

Comment. The article calls her "a Fellow of the International Federation of Library Association (IFLA)". I cannot verify this and do not know what it means; maybe the IFLA/OCLC Early Career Development Fellowship? Honorary Fellows of IFLA [1] would be notable through WP:PROF#C3 but she is not listed there, so it must mean something different. The early career one would definitely not pass that criterion; it is a different meaning of fellowship. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:55, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The biography has a lot of statements with no source to back them up. Which fails to meet WP:PROOF and could end up be a WP:NOR. Just checked the reference on ref 2 and it says 404 page not found. Gabriel (……?) 05:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: An article about a professor that doesn't meet WP:NPROF. Being a so-called Fellow of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions doesn't justify notability. The publications are very very poor, and can't be used to justify WP:NAUTHOR regardless. This list will tell you the lack of notability (former fellows). Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 05:04, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with the above. University librarian is a position that does not confer automatic notability, WP:PROF notability is not evident, and there are serious verifiability issues here. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:23, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Spent a lot of time looking at the IFLA fellows/honor programs: spoiler, could not find her on any list of winners, so cannot verify most significant claim (may be a confusion of member w/ fellow). There are honorary fellows in the society, which I would call a WP:PROF#C3 pass, but she is not on that list. (We're not going to solve today a perennial discussion about whether librarians can qualify via WP:PROF; I think yes, but it doesn't matter here because she doesn't have that award). I think the IFLA Medal would also be a C3 pass. The Scroll of Appreciation and Early Career Fellowships should count towards notability, but are not C3-type/level awards themselves. But none of them can be verifiably applied to Dr. Obi. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 23:49, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - Searches not showing anything, but I am loathe to trust English language searches for schools in non English speaking localities. It may be there are Turkish language resources here. Searching on the Turkish name, I find a book [2] but I speak no Turkish, and looking at it with Google Translate, it doesn't appear relevant, but I am beyond my competence here. What I do note is that this is quite a young school (established 1990) and not particularly big (c. 500 students). As a rule of thumb, I would not expect this one to meet GNG unless there were something significant that happened regarding its founding, its school life, or its achievements. I am not seeing anything at present so I cannot see how an article can be written. If a closer interpreted this as a !vote for soft delete (as an expired PROD), that would be fine with me.

Amla Sadarpur Secondary School

Well-established but ultimately non-notable school. None of the sources cited contribute anything towards notability, and a BEFORE search finds nothing more than the usual social media accounts, directory listings, etc. (If someone can find non-English sources that satisfy the WP:GNG standard, please do.) Declined at AfC but published by the author regardless, so here we are. Clearly fails WP:ORG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Mirpur Upazila where the school is located. The cited sources are not independent (ashs.edu.bd, board), are directory listings (Amla Union, Bangladesh Technical Education Board), or are passing mentions (Desh Tottoh, Samakal, and Bangla Vision News). Searches online and offline, in English and Bengali, of independent reliable sources, returned nothing better. The deepest coverage was a single sentence about the school in a 1976 gazetteer, which doesn't amount to significant coverage. Doesn't meet WP:NSCHOOL, so should not be a stand alone article. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:23, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rebuttal. "Prolific"? Single TV episodes in about 20 shows and 6th billing in a film nobody's heard of denote a journeyperson actor. And being a high school teacher doesn't make her a notable educator. Clarityfiend (talk) 14:51, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In searching newspapers I find her named in places like TV listings. These attest to the fact that she appeared on the named TV shows but those short sentences or two are about the plot and her character, not about her. These could be useful in recreating her career if there were also 2 or more substantial articles about her and in reliable sources. This I do not find. The sources given here are two short obits, an article saying that she won a student award (not notable), and a paragraph in a newspaper naming some roles she had in minor productions. I don't find anything longer than a paragraph, and nothing in major news sources. I can't find that she won a major award. I'll swing back by to check on progress, if there is any.

~~I would like to see some way to keep the content, and suggest a merge to Fuji Television.~~ For the ones which are made by Fuji, which doesn't include Zen-chan (please, please, don't do combined nominations of disparate articles!). Not sure about Zen-chan, as like @Mushy Yank this came up as a single article for me and I hadn't given it any thought before starting this comment
On Pinch to Punch it's unfortunate that there is so little secondary material out there although it seems even the primary material has been lost. This attests to its importance in the context of the development of Anime. This article could be perfectly happy as a stub, verified by what little information is out there~~, but it's hard to make a case for IAR on this.~~
Keep based on the anime encyclopedia entry and the existence of multiple shorter sources in the en. article and in the jp. article. Although the encyclopedia is the only lengthy treatment found, the article subject is clearly a launching point in the history of Japanese anime. The article is verifiable and the project benefits (and has little to lose) from these stub articles. Since this is basically an IAR argument, I've struck my inconsistent comment above. I still wouldn't object to a merge as a backup. Oblivy (talk) 07:09, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue with developing these articles would be our inability to access archives which would have information about an anime series from 50 years ago. Hard to imagine that Pinch and Punch, a series with 156 episodes airing on a national TV channel, wouldn't be notable with access to the correct archives. If someone is interested, perhaps Fuji or the National Film Archive of Japan can help? I would personally either keep or merge the articles at a minimum.

Delete No significant independent coverage to be found, fails WP:NORG:

the SCMP article[=https://www.scmp.com/article/650729/kindergarten-appeals-staff] is a recruiting notice masquerading as a news article. Based on the author's history [3] including a lot of recent advertorial stuff, this could be a situation where she was doing paid placement but SCMP wasn't always disclosing what it was doing. I'm just speculating but there's nothing in the article that suggests anything other than parroting their hiring needs and requirements.
the Sina article[4] seems to be reporting on a press conference they held to announce their name change, and lacks evidence of independent editorial judgment. This was added by @Cunard who is a wizard at finding buried sources for China-related articles, but we sometimes disagree about quality. In any event this would just be one article.

Aside from that, the only independent thing I could find was this that name-checks them. Oblivy (talk) 06:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We had an edit clash - you can see above about my assessment of #2 and #3. I think paid research reports are narrow-cast, industry publications that fail WP:AUD. Also, sometimes I think they are portrayed as having lots of content so people will buy them. Oblivy (talk) 06:11, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not consider research reports to fail WP:AUD. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations says regarding public corporations, "However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports."

Analyst reports are "narrow-cast, industry publications" just like the ResearchInChina research report. Cunard (talk) 06:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Analyst reports on a public company, say, GM or Microsoft which might be of interest to many people. That's a different situation than an industry sector report which are targeted at selling just a handful of copies at a high price. We can't see how much material there is (for sure more than other schools, but it's a bit of a pig-in-a-poke) or where they got it from. Oblivy (talk) 06:27, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Since editors consider the earlier sources insufficient to establish notability, I did a more exhaustive search for print sources. These are sources that cannot be found in a Google search.

Keep On the basis of significant independent coverage in source #1 (Beijing News), and #2' (Oxford), with #5 adding a bit of coverage without substantial detail. Although the sourcing could be more detailed, it is sufficient to compose a verifiable article. This is a national-scope company serving dozens of communities. (vote change comment 19/9/2024)
1 - Beijing News[5] - this comes from an educational awards special supplement. It's bylined. There's an "acceptance speech" at the top but the rest of the article could be independent. It's all very praise-ful, but this one is weakly SIGCOV.
2. Three Gorges News - a property development got Eton to establish preschool in the development, but the mention of the school is really brief and probably from promotional materials they provided. No evidence of independent analysis, and it's not very long.
3. Science and Technology Daily - I couldn't access. The words "据了解" could mean they talked to someone from the school, or that they are doing independent research. It's just hard for me to tell.
4. Information Times -- seems regurgitated from the school (it's a vibe thing)
5. Wuhan Evening News - again, couldn't access but this seems like a report on an event involving the kids. It's actually kind of charming but it's still not a lot of content. So again weakly SIGCOV.
For the remaining, surprisingly I think #2 isn't a bad source - yes, they are getting information from the school but I think this is earned media rather than just regurgitation because Oxford Review has to put it into a common format. #1, yeah, good old Global Times reported online rumors about Etonkids; - that they picked the school as a target actually seems to support notability, but it won't go anywhere becauase it's a perennial bad source. #3 - no, this is from a person associated with the school.
So, on my reading, we have:
- zero in the article (per above),
- not changing my view on the research report especially since nobody on-wiki has read it
- three weak significant coverage (Beijing News, Wuhan Evening News, Oxford)
~~At the moment I'm keeping my vote at delete. But I will consider and would encourage editors to consider whether there are good reasons not to be too hard on the sourcing.~~

Weak delete - Searches not showing anything, but I am loathe to trust English language searches for schools in non English speaking localities. It may be there are Turkish language resources here. Searching on the Turkish name, I find a book [9] but I speak no Turkish, and looking at it with Google Translate, it doesn't appear relevant, but I am beyond my competence here. What I do note is that this is quite a young school (established 1990) and not particularly big (c. 500 students). As a rule of thumb, I would not expect this one to meet GNG unless there were something significant that happened regarding its founding, its school life, or its achievements. I am not seeing anything at present so I cannot see how an article can be written. If a closer interpreted this as a !vote for soft delete (as an expired PROD), that would be fine with me.

Amla Sadarpur Secondary School

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

Well-established but ultimately non-notable school. None of the sources cited contribute anything towards notability, and a BEFORE search finds nothing more than the usual social media accounts, directory listings, etc. (If someone can find non-English sources that satisfy the WP:GNG standard, please do.) Declined at AfC but published by the author regardless, so here we are. Clearly fails WP:ORG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Attempt to Add Citations - Hmm, I will try to see if there is anything that can be done. I will try to look for citations that makes proof that the school is notable. Many more might participate, if this page is seen by more, If there are not any citations or proof of notability, there is possibly a reason for deletion. BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 16:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If any citations that give clear proof that school has notability, English or Non-English. Keep might be a option. BangladeshiEditorInSylhet (talk) 16:18, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, BangladeshiEditorInSylhet, did you find any citations? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:27, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Mirpur Upazila where the school is located. The cited sources are not independent (ashs.edu.bd, board), are directory listings (Amla Union, Bangladesh Technical Education Board), or are passing mentions (Desh Tottoh, Samakal, and Bangla Vision News). Searches online and offline, in English and Bengali, of independent reliable sources, returned nothing better. The deepest coverage was a single sentence about the school in a 1976 gazetteer, which doesn't amount to significant coverage. Doesn't meet WP:NSCHOOL, so should not be a stand alone article. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:23, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was procedural close‎. This was not listed on to the 14 September log, presumably due to the XFDcloser error. At this point though, I do not see the purpose of relisting it one more time. Anyone can feel free to renominate if needed. (non-admin closure) Alpha3031 (t • c) 10:20, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kartal Anatolian High School

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

I did a search and this seems not to be notable Chidgk1 (talk) 19:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural keep: While I acknowledge that high school articles are not automatically notable, there is a community consensus that a good faith WP:BEFORE that includes some print resources or local newspapers is needed, per this RfC. This is especially important given the underrepresentation of high schools from the non-English-speaking parts of the world on the English Wikipedia. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 23:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheJoyfulTentmaker Not quite sure what you expected me to do about “print resources”. I don’t live in Istanbul so cannot pop round to a local library in Kartal, but there must be plenty of editors who do live in the city, so if they wish to find offline resources to cite to keep the article it will be easier for them than for me. Chidgk1 (talk) 15:14, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Added one source about a controversy. The point is that, for high schools with a history, a deeper BEFORE is needed, according to the community consensus. This nomination does not even have the findings of a regular BEFORE. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 17:35, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Added couple of sources since the nomination; some about its sports teams and some related to the controversies. I believe these satisfy WP:SIGCOV to some degree and contribute to the school's notability. Also, I still believe that more sources can be found in the print archives; from around the time when the school was being opened. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 04:48, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
