 * Keep as acceptable I suppose. Delete as unlikely for the aapplicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  17:44, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article is wholly unreferenced except for two links to lists of schools.  Generally this is not a reason for deletion (nor is its being promotional), but in this case there are no sources out of which an article could be constructed.  -- Rrburke (talk) 18:45, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Per wp:school outcomes. It is a high school. Avoid u.s. and British bias. do ncr  am  00:47, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Not a matter of bias. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is not the be all end all, and specifically what part of it are you referring to? The fact that there are non-notable institutions out there which deserve, at best, a redirect to the place it is situated at? Kingoflettuce (talk) 10:09, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

KeepMany articles like this such as Jawahar Lal Nehru Inter College kalyanpur,B N S D Shiksha Niketan,Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Sanatan Dharma Vidyalaya,S C G M Inter College Madhupur Sonebhadra,JDVM Inter College,Primary school sadpur,Mahatma Gandhi Inter College etc.Teacher1943
 * Each case merits its own arguments. Just because x exists doesn't mean y should. Kingoflettuce (talk) 15:57, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing them to my attention though, I'll have you know that those are not worthy of having their own pages too. Let us delete/merge them all! If you have more suggestions do list them here or nominate them for deletion yourself. Cheers! Kingoflettuce (talk) 16:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. It is accepted practice that all high schools are considered notable -- this is part of a longstanding compromise to avoid thousands of these AfDs (the other half of the compromise is that all primary schools are not considered notable, unless there are special factors). We do delete advertising, but this articles is not all that highly promotional .   DGG ( talk ) 19:26, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per Rrburke, GBooks and GNews searches. Fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG, i.e. the guidelines that take precedence over the observations made at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I do not care if something is a high school (that would be an argument to avoid, by the way, per WP:NOTINHERITED); without reliable sources we cannot build a proper article. - HyperGaruda (talk) 22:00, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it is on such a basis that I nommed several others for deletion -- and I actually went to check if there was even anything that could salvage them! Alas, some prefer to generalise the situation, failing to exercise common sense and realising the fact that some simply cannot meet basic GNG and V, regardless of their inherent nature (ala being a high school).

 * Comment The are many much weaker high school articles than this--if we'regoing to be looking for sub-minimal articles to merge, this is not a good place to start.  DGG ( talk ) 19:18, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as a secondary school per longstanding consensus and precedent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:50, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as per consensus reached in WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. This is a high school and has some refs to keep it afloat which is generally considered as sufficient for high schools. Lakun.patra (talk) 17:18, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as per the very long, securely established precedent as documented at OUTCOMES and evidenced by literally 1,000s of AfD closures. Those who vote 'delete' are strongly advised to inform themselves of the several accepted exceptions to GNG and ORG, and that AfD is not a forum for changing policies, guidelines, or clearly accepted practices. Perhaps the, may which to famiiiarise themselves more with the way Wikipedia works before engaging in backroom activity and disagreeing with some of our most  on matters of notability.
