Not notable. Not listed in current NZQA list of accredited teaching institutions. Stated premises at level 3, 182 Broadway are occupied by Techtorium Computer Training, which appears to be unrelated and certainly not an English language school. Akld guy (talk) 20:23, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2019 January 12. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 20:40, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A small, apparently defunct school for teaching the English language. No evidence of notability offered or to be found, and no reason to suppose there would be. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 21:05, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as proposer. Akld guy (talk) 21:24, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Related note: the article was created by User Jerclark, whose contributions show that he created several similar articles about teaching institutions, all with the same format and listing the same president, James Clark. The similarity with his username suggests that all of these articles might be hoaxes. Akld guy (talk) 21:14, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as proposer. I could not find anything and 'Wikipedia is not a directory'. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 21:31, 12 January 2019 (UTC))[reply]
Delete. The school's supposed web site is dead, and the only link to this article from mainspace is from Newmarket, New Zealand. Ross Finlayson (talk) 21:32, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That link was added only hours ago, which drew my attention to this article. It's otherwise an orphan. Akld guy (talk) 21:42, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In 2002 when this institution was supposedly founded, I worked in the industry. I don't recall the name at all which strongly suggests it was insignificant. This, along with comments above indicate that it fails GNG. Obvious COI by the article creator. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 22:23, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I could not find any significant web coverage which is no point to qualify as a Wikipedia article. Sheldybett (talk) 06:29, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
