Delete as re-creation of article already speedily deleted three times at The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education as ((db-promo)). The title The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education is WP:SALTed, so recreating this here and requesting The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education → HKAGE on WP:AFC/R looks questionable as yet another attempt to promote the school.

Comment An attempt has been made to create this page yet again in WP:AFC, see Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education by user:annahui, the same user who created the HKAGE page. Spam, spam, it's better than ham... K7L (talk) 02:16, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's a non-profit, so not spam advertising. It looks notable, and the current version [1] has plenty of sources. FurrySings (talk) 15:01, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The "non-profit" label only means there are no stockholders to pay; many so-called non-profit entities do have well-paid management and staff and do place self-promotional commercial advertising just like their for-profit counterparts. K7L (talk) 15:32, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They don't charge school fees. I don't think they are a commercial enterprise, more like a government sponsored school for gifted children. Aren't government sponsored secondary schools presumed to be notable? FurrySings (talk) 15:51, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - while the above is correct (non-profits can and have spammed in the past) this particular article, regardless of origin, does seem to pass WP:GNG, with this, this and this establishing notability as far as I am concerned. There's also a bunch of articles from the South China Morning Post about the establishment of the Academy but all are behind a pay-wall which is frustrating.

Also found other mentions in The Standard: [2], [3], [4] and this press release from the HK government: [5]

Keep and cleanup: article relies a lot on information from the horse's/organization's mouth that needs to be trimmed. But it's certainly been covered in a few news organizations. Vcessayist (talk) 23:55, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
