Non notable private primary and high school. Fails WP:NCORP. Makes no claim to notability and only serves to promote the establishment. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 08:03, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to multiple issues with page. Redditaddict6 9 08:35, 19 August 2018 (UTC) – Struck out vote... In favor of Keep after issue tags were removed. Redditaddict6 9 03:34, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This vote is vague and based on nothing at all. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:39, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This reference suggests that the private schools of Botswana, including Rainbow, are generally profit-making institutions. I added some references and tried to clean the article up a bit. Almost all schools are notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 12:23, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes GNG and has not the slightest tone of promotionalism in the text. AfD nominartors need to learn the difference between adspeak and plain, neutral articles. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:39, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Fully equipped Computer labs with 24/7 Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line internet availability..... ∯WBG^converse 15:39, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung: perhaps you didn't look at the article as it was when nominated? Eastmain has since removed most of the promo like "the building boasts their magnificent hall seating well over 600 people" or "well equipped laboratories" and I have since gone further. Consequently I have removed the promo tag.

On what basis do you think it meets WP:GNG? The first reference is the school's own website - not independent; the second is the school's entry in a directory, and the content looks like it was submitted by the school - so is not independent and serves only to confirm that the school exists; the final two references (newly added) are about the afro controversy - is that news about the school sufficiently enduring for the school to become notable?

Delete - Fails WP:GNG. Not sufficient in depth coverage from various WP:Rs. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 20:38, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: a verified high school. The project would not be significantly improved by deleting this page. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:39, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - many sources available that together meet WP:GNG. The way forward, if concerned, is to source up the page. Just Chilling (talk) 18:08, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to List of schools in Botswana Looking at the sources for the page: 1) Official website (self-published) 2) YourBotswana looks like a blog site but controlled by a single editor, and the article only mentions the Rainbow Primary School in a list of tuition hikes (Routine coverage, list coverage) 3) Just Landed is a directory listing that anyone can create (usually the organization can do it) with free and paid subscription versions 4) Weekendpost is an opinion editorial about the afro controversy and gives no background on the school, only a single sentence in the header that it is a "well-known English medium school". (no significant coverage) The rest is all opinion. 5) Gazette news article about the afro controversy being resolved. The Gazette website has apparently been taken down so not much is left except for some cached archives. Does not cover any detail about the school other than naming the principal, and lasts about three sentences before going off to discuss Molosi's works in general, like his Facebook insult trading with another school (not rainbow). So this is borderline routine coverage. There are no significant coverage articles about the history of the school. Are there any books and journals, or even government websites that detail Rainbow Schools? I don't see any other significant coverage that would extend this beyond a WP:WITHIN on the list.

Just Chilling, that's for a Rainbow High School in Johannesburg. [1] [2] not the one in Botswana. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:50, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, thanks, my bad.:-( Just Chilling (talk) 22:01, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the sources in the article (mainly per the Gazette and WeekendPost), Meets GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 01:38, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
