Hello!

The list of board of directors is to enhance the transparency of the organisation in stead of doing promotions and those directors are actually well-known in Hong Kong to justify the notability of the organisation. Anyway, the information is deleted.

Besides, more sources from third parties, e.g. a newspaper and a press release dispatched by Information Services Department in HK, etc. have been added. This would help to prove this article is reliable.

From my point my view, the information from newspapers and government is authentic. If it is not reliable, may you please suggest what kind of information is reliable?

Furthermore, I'm a bit confused with your standard of "advertising articles". As I checked out different sites, they have listed many products or quoted from their own websites, but those websites are not deleted. Please see below examples-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sony_Ericsson_products http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Bird_Watching_Society

As such, I appreciate if you could let me know more concretely that which part of the HKAGE article looks promotional or how I should adjust the content to meet your standard. In fact, the information listed is factual and well-documented.

I look forwaard to hearing from you soon.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annahui (talk • contribs) 11:21, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move? (1)

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved to Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education. Given the salting of the proposed title, the AfD survival, and WP:THE, this seems like a no-brainer. If the "the" is considered important, another RM can be initiated. --BDD (talk) 05:39, 7 October 2012 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

HKAGE → The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education –

Rename to full name of school, old title is salted. Request came up at WP:AFC/R. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 17:49, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You should request a comment from User:SarahStierch, the admin who salted the full title, before this move takes place. I do not see that the HKAGE article was ever reviewed at WP:AFC. It still has some promotional aspects. A complete list of board members, and apparently no secondary sources commenting on the organization. EdJohnston (talk) 18:58, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! I would surely avoid doing this request. The new page isn't reliable at all nor does it display notability. It seems like it's just a reacharound to get a page made! SarahStierch (talk) 19:14, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I left a comment here and notified Annahui (talk · contribs) of that discussion. This move request won't be acted on, so maybe the thread could be moved to Talk:HKAGE so the discussion is not lost. Then this thread could be deleted from the present page. EdJohnston (talk) 19:47, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) Sorry about that, I was unaware of the circumstances of deletion. I've gone ahead and prod'ed the article. Lego K^ontribs T^alkM 21:35, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Or to Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:32, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education → The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education –

Proposed title salted due to promotional nature of earlier articles. The latest version is a valid article, and the title should be the name of the subject. I closed the AfD on the article but am otherwise uninvolved; the closure hasn't been disputed. Churn and change (talk) 15:20, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Object the acronym is "HKAGE" not "THKAGE", indicating the "The" can be dispensed with. -- 70.50.149.56 (talk) 21:50, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:THE. K7L (talk) 23:04, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I guess the more important issue is the salting; if the move is not ok, there should still be a redirect from that title. Churn and change (talk) 23:09, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment Oh ok, I see that title has been desalted and redirected. In that case, I don't have much of an opinion on this. Will wait a few days and close this if there isn't an objection. Churn and change (talk) 23:19, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose See WP:THE#Universities. I think this applies to secondary schools as well; if in doubt, omit "the." As the nominator has noticed, the situation is largely resolved with the original title desalted and redirecting. --BDD (talk) 19:00, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Definite article completely unnecessary. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
