Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queen Mary Higher Secondary School

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Mokokchung#Education. While some sources have been added to the article during this discussion, nobody has demonstrated that they satisfy the requirement of substantive coverage to meet GNG. Draftifying this was suggested, but I can't see where anyone has expressed interest in working on this; if they want to do so, the history will remain available. I would strongly caution against recreating this without substantially improving the sourcing. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:36, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Mokokchung#Education. Redirect conforms best to WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, and since the school does exits, there is nothing to lose by redirecting readers to its locale. I don't believe a merge is warranted. iCBSE.com looks a bit self published, and there isn't really all that much info on the page to justify including it in the education section of a location. --Puzzledvegetable^{Is it teatime already?} 15:43, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd be ok with Draftify per Steven (Editor). Either way, I don't think the article in its current state should remain live, but a variety of non keep options seem reasonable. The added sources don't really improve much. A single paragraph about the school, and a couple of articles about a student that mention in passing the school the student attends doesn't really make for encyclopedic sourcing. --Puzzledvegetable^{Is it teatime already?} 13:38, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, this article can surely be improved. There are some coverage on media and it is generally more difficult to source an article from a remoter part of the world, and the fact that it is a notable school in Nagaland. --Anonymousme^{User talk:Anonymousme} 17:25, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Where is this media coverage then? Spiderone 19:28, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - if there is no consensus to delete, I am happy with redirect as above Spiderone 12:39, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - The argument for deletion or a redirect is weak as there are enough sources cited. --Anonymousme^{User talk:Anonymousme} 06:56, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep per Anonymousme have added sources is one of the leading schools in the most remote parts of India.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 07:27, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are hardly enough to meet WP:GNG and are passing mentions at best. What makes refs 1 and 6 reliable sources as well? Spiderone 07:53, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify if the editor is willing to do more work on this, otherwise Redirect/Delete. I already draftified three new school articles by the editor of a similar format — pretty much look like directory listings which is not what Wikipedia is.

Draftify is a fair solution. They should not be in the mainspace until they pass GNG. Spiderone 09:27, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify With the caveat that it has to go through a review to determine it's notability before being recreated. I think that's the fair thing to do. Otherwise, Delete.
