Fails WP:GNG as there are is no WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. Unremarkable school that has little if any coverage, none of which could be considered significant or independent. Would not be opposed to redirecting to List of schools in India until such time as it becomes notable (assuming that it does). FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 17:36, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is a high school. High schools almost always survive AfD. Does the nominator really want to consume editor time and attention with this? • Gene93k (talk) 23:16, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Thank you for the condescending comment. If it is a waste of your time, please feel free to move on. I am sure that other editors can speak for themselves. Moving on to the AfD discussion - "Most" is not all. Also, common outcomes do NOT determine all outcomes. They are not policy nor are they guidelines, only precedent which is always subject to change. Schools are judged by WP:ORG and if HS are being kept contrary to that guidelines, then there needs to be a change in precedent, hopefully starting with this AfD. I have read the common outcomes for high schools and unfortunately, I disagree with the ones being kept simply because it can be verified that they exist. If the HS articles are being kept simply to show they exist, that is what LISTS are for (which is also a recommendation here to redirect). Wikipedia is not a simple list or collection of information, and I would cite WP:IINFO as a guideline over previous outcomes of high school deletion discussions. For organizations, there is no inherent or inherited notability. As stated above, I cannot find anything to establish notability. I have been wrong in the past and will be the first to admit it. So, if you can find how this article meets WP:GNG or WP:ORG, I will be glad to withdraw my nomination. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 13:09, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Gene93k: While it may meet WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, I don't think any of the independent sources I've found are reliable enough to satisfy WP:RS - most of the sources out there are directories; if even this is sufficient to keep the article, then so be it. hmssolent\^{You rang?} _{ship's log} 02:39, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you consider directories unreliable? Phil Bridger (talk) 08:32, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. Not a notable School. it seems that the page is created for marketing of the school. There are many schools in almost all the streets of India. Wikipedia is not the stage for self-publicity. I did not find any significant coverage about this school. Delete this article.Jussychoulex (talk) 19:10, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why is this even open? Even though I don't agree with the rule, high schools are always notable. The argument is that high schools form a fundamentally important part of local communities. Most of them receive press, but the majority of that press is in local newspapers/television programs, and thus not likely to be easily accessible to those of us trying to web-search it, especially since the school is located in India (an area where not everything is online, like the US). Now, I've tried to argue against this rule before, but it's really rock solid, and there is no reason to believe that this school is somehow so obviously less notable than every other high school.

Keep. Verified secondary school, invariably kept for reasons already much elaborated. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:40, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
