Speedy delete G11, promotional tone. _ Mgm|^(talk) 13:42, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

G11 over 2 sentences of POV? • Gene93k (talk) 17:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not this was a G11, I have cleaned it up so it isn't now! TerriersFan (talk) 18:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This school went to AfD 2 minutes after creation. "Xth class" (10th) indicates that Jhansi is not just a primary school but also a lower secondary school. • Gene93k (talk) 17:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as a significant high school. Another wholly premature AfD. Plainly, the nominator did not follow the processes in WP:BEFORE. There are sufficient sources available to meet WP:V. Indian schools have a notoriously poor internet presence so reasonable time to find local sources to avoid systemic bias is needed. What is a reasonable time is a matter of judgement but I suggest that 2 minutes is on the short side! TerriersFan (talk) 18:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment "Nursery to 10th" if that were the US, it would place it has a junior high school, not a high school and we do not normally keep such articles. The lead paragraphs on Education in India seems to confirm that India works similarly, but the inforbox seems to indicate otherwise. I noticed that we lack an article on Secondary Education in India--or even a lear section of the general article. DGG (talk) 22:11, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Most high schools in the UK educate to 10th grade/age 16. The limit for middle/junior high in both UK and US is grade 8/age 14. TerriersFan (talk) 22:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The 2 mins was enough for me to give it a search on google. And while titles were found, none of them indicates to me it's in the location set into the article. But now that you mention it, I didn't consider the availability of information about a school in India. Dengero (talk) 01:12, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - In India, according to the revised system of education, 1st to 5th standards come under primary education, 6th to 10th under secondary and 11th to 12th under higher secondary. Also, schools having 8th to 10th standards are commonly called High Schools. Salih (talk) 09:43, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I interpret then that this is then a junior high school--it does not prepare directly for university. DGG (talk) 14:14, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Only after completing 12th standard one can get into university or affiliated colleges. Salih (talk) 16:13, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep looks like a high school which can be supported by indie sources. JBsupreme (talk) 01:07, 29 December 2008
