Non notable English language center, not a degree granting school. As I understand it, such organizations come under speedy A7, but it was declined. DGG ( talk ) 02:03, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unsigned comment from WP:SPA page creator After having read through the guidelines, I see no obvious, immediate or relevant reason for this page to be deleted, especially when considering the many other private education institutes of its kind exist on Wiki already. This is especially true when considering that ULI has an arrangement with ZISU to help international students pass the Chinese language test - HSK (as mentioned in the article).A link will shortly be forthcoming regarding this.ate

Secondly, as also mentioned within the article, ULI is not only an English language centre, but also teaches other languages (as stated above).

In relation to 'notability', I would suggest that the association with ZISU as their central language test preparation centre to be significant, and thus, 'notable' (although, obviously, this word is fairly subjective).

I think the fact that the speedy deletion under A7 has been declined would be a good indicator that this page ought to stay (given the logic behind the deletion requests is the same). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasmine309 (talk • contribs) 10:04, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nominator. Fairly typical language cram school. After reading through the article and knowing our guidelines I cannot see how this article even remotely meets WP:GNG or WP:ORG, besides which, being basically a promo for a run-of-the-mill commercial language school it's probably a G11 CSD candidate for advertising or using Wikipedia as a listing site. It's certainly neither a mainstream high school or degree awarding institution that might, under certain conditions being met, accord it some notability. Riding on the back of unsourced informal university recognition does not in any way assert notability here. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:12, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep ULI is not a typical language school. It's also the designated translation partner for Qiusuo Documentary channel, which is a joint venture of Discovery channel and Wasu Digital TV (aka, Wasu Media group) in China. link and some references added at the end. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasmine309 (talk • contribs) 08:49, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep Besides, ULI's partner university ZISU is not "an unsourced informal university". First of all, provincial government of Zhejiang just invested 1.5 billion RMB into the development of this university last year, which indicates the province's determination to develop ZISU; secondly, ZISU is the earliest university in Zhejiang province to develop international studies. The wikipedia page of ZISU has not been updated for a long while but it doesn't mean ZISU is an unsourced informal university. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasmine309 (talk • contribs) 09:03, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment Not only a new user, but one with currently TWO total contributions, both at AFD. Special:Contributions/Lukasonny Will consider reporting as WP:sock puppet. Gaff (talk) 21:46, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: A commercial operation which provides services to several organisations does not inherit notability from them. One of the existing references does not appear to cover the subject of the article, and I am seeing no evidence that would indicate WP:CORPDEPTH notability (though open to changing that opinion if someone identifies such in Chinese language sources).

    • hello. Lanex program is a non-profitable program as stated in the article, and will soon have a reference from German media as it's an on-going program.(A link to that will soon appear at the end of this month). One of the link directs to the launch of Qiusuo channel as it doesnt have a page on wiki, the reference is given to prove that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasmine309 (talk • contribs) 08:20, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
