The article says ChinaCast Education Corporation is the leading for-profit provider of post-secondary education and e-learning services in the People's Republic of China. However, no information can be found on Chinese search engines, and in fact, the media does not continue to focus on this for-profit learning organisation, which is in line with Wikipedia:Notability.Zhuo1221 (talk) 05:18, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article needs major work, as it is basically just a promotional piece at this point. However, it is absolutely trivial to find sources reporting on this company 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. It is clear that no WP:BEFORE was done here. The sources being old ("the media does not continue to focus on this for-profit learning organisation") isn't relevant, as notability doesn't expire.
