The only references in the article a dead primary source and a link to a map that doesn't seem to be related to the company. I couldn't find anything about them, in-depth or otherwise, in a WP:BEFORE either. So, this article fails both WP:GNG and WP:NORG. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:27, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamant1: The map link was there to show the real location of the address because the United States Postal Service "city name" may not necessarily be related to the municipality where a place actually is. This page from the City of Houston states: "Would annexation change our mailing addresses? No. The U.S. Postal Service establishes ZIP codes and mailing addresses in order to maximize the efficiency of their system, not to recognize jurisdictional boundaries. Accordingly, a change in jurisdiction does not result in a change in mailing addresses." It goes on to give examples of places physically in one city having a mailing address indicating a different city. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm still trying to find a secondary source about this. It's possible that archives of The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News are paywalled, so I may have to see if articles come up in academic search engines from Michigan libraries.

  • Comment @Adamant1: from the University of Michigan database I found the following:
    • "Global Educational Excellence to open school in Jordan". The Arab American News. Vol. 28, no. 1388. 2012-09-15.
    • Hijazi, Samer (2012-04-28). "Global Educational Excellence celebrates re-opening of two Detroit charter schools". The Arab American News. Vol. 28, no. 1368.
  • If you like I could request for copies of the articles or see if the Wayback Machine has them.
  • I also found this article which has a paragraph on the company.
