Unsourced school about which practically nothing is known -- just take a look at the article. Was nominated for deletion in 2006, resulting in no-consensus, mainly on the grounds it could and would be sourced and grow, neither of which has happened. Merge proposal was declined.

 * Comment It exists but beyond that, there's not much that I can say.  This one was created back in 2005 when they let an unregistered URL address take credit for an article  so I have my doubts about the reliability of anything in there.  I can't tell that anything has been done for the article other since then except for a few people giving a sincere "Attaboy" and some others practicing their proofreading and categorizing skills.  No prejudice to recreating an article about a high school in New Delhi, but even 203.94 didn't care to say anything about it. Mandsford 20:55, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep (subject to one question). There is sufficient basic information at the school's website, here. I find at least a few media mentions of the school, such as   Based on the above, the school appears to meet our usual standards for inclusion--assuming that it is, in fact, a high school.  I note that the website refers to it as a "medium school"--however, it also has information about a "senior wing" and results from "Class XII".--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:24, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Er... so your sources are insufficient for even determining whether it's a high school or not, yet they're sufficient to keep the article? That seems like a pretty clear-cut WP:V issue to me.  Shi  meru  00:28, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * First of all, it's not "my sources", it's the school's website. Second, it turns out there is no ambiguity after all--"English medium school" isn't a term we use in the U.S. and wasn't instantly familiar to me, but it turns out to have a simple meaning--they teach in English.  Again, based on the standard outcomes for these articles and especially in view of the usual concern for WP:systemic bias, this seems to be a keep. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep The school's website name is "ASN Senior Secondary School" and it describes curriculum for pre-primary, primary, middle, and senior wings. In other words, it includes a high school. The school has a student body of about 1000 (according to the only news article I found about it - I added it to the article). It's a bare-bones article but it meets our criteria as a keeper. --MelanieN (talk) 01:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
