Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dubbo College
Just for convenience: the 'Keep' votes here are all problematic. Firstly, , the guideline I cited in this nomination, reads: "'''All''' universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy WP:ORG, general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria." (my bold, clearly). So the idea of the profitable status of the school deserving some special treatment or status is specifically ruled out. The guideline applies to ALL schools and there is an additional requirement for for-profit schools to pass WP:ORG, which I also cite and which this school does not pass in any case. Additionally, the idea that the age and location of an institution ''justify the presumption'' of notability is not to be found (quite rightly) in any guideline. , in fact, specifically states "However, once an article's notability has been challenged, '''merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive'''" (Again, my bold). Finally, the argument that the school is ''deserving of a well-researched and well-written article'' is clearly not in any guideline - and the question here is not what the school deserves, but whether it is notable enough to deserve anything.
