Redirect to Pune_district#Education. Normally, my !vote for a secondary school would be to keep, as per policy. However, this school poses a problem. Firstly, Poona is the former British colonial name for Pune and no school website can be found that matches the article name. The nearest fit seems to be New Pune Public School, but I can't find anything to confirm a link, which would justify a page rename to it, rather than a redirect to the education authority. So, instead, a redirect to the Education section within the District of Pune page seems most appropriate at the present time. (But it seems the Pune district itself might soon be split up into the Chinchwad_District, if that unsourced page is anything to go by. And Chinchwad and Akurdi are both named on the New Pune Public School website, even if that school doesnt have a page if its own yet.)

Delete. I found Poona Public School which is or was a primary school, and seems to be on the top floor of a four-storey commercial building. Street level is a car dealership. I could not find registration with any secondary education (high school) board. I doubt the information in the article is reliable. I would not redirect to the Pune district article because it does not seem to be a government-run school, which that might imply to some people. It seems to be on the level of a small business. It does not satisfy WP:GNG or WP:ORG, even verifiability is questionable. Jack N. Stock (talk) 06:38, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant research to track it down, so I've struck some of my remarks above. However, I'm not totally sure it's still the same school. Same name, yes, but its website states its a primary school founded in 2002, not a secondary school founded in 1950 as per the article. I'd be OK with a delete, but feel a redirect would probably still be better, especially as the target section does state Private schools are operated by charitable trusts.

You might be reading the date of the Mumbai Public Trust Act 1950 as the date of the school. The addresses match. Jack N. Stock (talk) 13:21, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, yes, you are right. I think, on balance, I'm now going to strike my first !vote, and go for delete, too, as not meeting WP:GNG or WP:ORG. Nick Moyes (talk) 16:32, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete article lacks sources. Clearly nothing that shows it makes any impact as a secondary school, and even being a secondary school is not proven.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:39, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:GNG and also lacking clear verification as a secondary school. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:04, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
