B K Birla Centre For Education

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable private school. Only a handful of relevant Google hits. Only one source cited aside from Wikimapia and the school's own web site. Very promotional in tone, though it's better now than it was at first, but that doesn't fix the lack of notability. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: Nomination withdrawn. It now appears that this school is a high school (at least in part), something that wasn't readily apparent at first. Per longstanding Wikipedia precedent, high schools are automatically notable. This AfD discussion may now be closed. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment Am I missing something? When did high schools become notable just for being high schools? Is there a Wiki policy you can point me at so I can see for myself? Dreamspy (talk) 22:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Here's another reliable source that only took a few seconds to find. Can we please stop wasting everyone's time and effort with these high school deletion nominations? They simply distract from the task of building an encyclopedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: But is this a high school, though? Honestly, it's hard for me to tell (and I'm not that dense). If so, I'll be glad to withdraw the AfD. But this seems to be some sort of private school of some other kind, and the precedent — particularly outside of U.S. schools — isn't quite as clear-cut. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I didn't mean to imply any density on your part - I hope you didn't get that impression. The school caters for pupils up to grade 12, and follows the CBSE syllabus, which is a standard high school syllabus, so I guess that makes it a high school. I've tidied up the refs and external links a bit to make things a bit clearer - there were lots of distracting irrelevant links there before. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The "dense" part was self-deprecating humor on my part, or an attempt at same. Back on topic: Yes, this is a high school at least in part, so it's automatically notable. I'll withdraw. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
