British Schools Foundation

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

Non-notable organization which operates a number of for-profit schools. I'm unable to find any significant coverage of the organization or its schools in reliable sources, except for brief announcements and reprinted press releases. The articles rely almost entirely on the organization's website for references. I also note that a major contributor, Ordovas, may have a conflict of interest, as John Ordovas is the organization's director. Pburka (talk) 03:16, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following member schools:

Delete. A search of "British Schools Foundation" - wikipedia yields very relatively few results (only about 22.3K). Optimally, this would be kept and the member schools merged, but coverage is more reliant on self-published sources and, as stated above, passing media mentions. – Epicgenius (talk) 03:29, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure about this organisation, but the schools go up to Secondary level (in one case will do so in the future) and Secondary Schools are normally kept. I suggest that the schools be discussed separately. --Bduke (Discussion) 05:37, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That may be true; however, the vast majority of secondary schools don't have articles. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:51, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Where do you get that idea from? Just looking at Secondary Schools in one city - Sheffield, UK, where I went to school - seems to show that all Secondary Schools in the city have articles. Sure there are places in the world that still need work, but they will get it some time. My points still stands that the Schools should be discussed separately. My !vote is keep for the Schools and I have no opinion on at this time on the organisation. --Bduke (Discussion) 04:23, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - I apologize. It's not a vast majority. But in places like New York City, there are many secondary schools that have articles, and many that don't. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:19, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
