The Australian International School

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

This article has always, since its creation in 2007, a blatant advertisement for this school. There's nothing encyclopedic in the history other than the name. Apparently there are several Australian International Schools - through Google I found the same name in Singapore, Beijing, Bangkok, Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City (which may be this one, but the URLs don't match), among others. A Google search for '"australian international school vietnam" -wikipedia' gives 10 hits. I think it's time to to close the free advertising space.

Comment I'm a very embarrassed admin. I came to this article while doing WP:CSD#F4 and WP:CSD#F11 deletions. I must have had CSD on the brain because I unintentionally deleted the article under WP:CSD#G11 rather than just tagging it. I immediately restored the article, and after reflection decided that while it's technically eligible under G11, AFD is the better choice. I apologize to everyone for my mistake.

~~Delete~~ or completely rewrite. The current article is not encyclopedic, but the school may be notable. There seem to be several (possibly unrelated?) schools with this name throughout Asia. See Australian International School. This school in Vietnam may be notable, but little of the current article is salvageable. If the article is kept it should be renamed to something like Australian International School, Vietnam. Whether the article is kept or deleted, this title should be changed to a redirect to Australian International School. Pburka (talk) 02:49, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. All high schools are notable per Wikipedia:Notability (high schools). That includes international schools with high school students. WWGB (talk) 11:05, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. ~~If the article is kept, it will need to be rewritten. The current version appears to be copyvio from the school's website (Mission & Philosophy and School Profile).~~ • Gene93k (talk) 20:43, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep the rewritten stub version. Notable as a high school. • Gene93k (talk) 01:16, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have removed some of the more blatantly unacceptable content. OSborn^arf_{contributionatoration} 22:02, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
