 * Comment Until there is a guideline, however, common outcomes is the outline of "this is how it usually has been handled". For the benefit of our Bengali editors, the usual outcome is that elementary schools and other schools that don't qualify graduates to go to higher education (university or college) are generally not notable enough for their own article, no matter where they are located-- U.S., U.K., Bangladesh, etc.  Usually, their existence is mentioned within an article about education in the school district, and the link to the website takes the place of detailed information.  Chittagong, of course, is a large city a bit bigger than Houston, Texas, and this is one of many schools there.  Perhaps someone can write an article about education in Chittagong.

 * Strong Delete: I was born and brought up in Chittagong. The school is NOT notable at all, even in the local context of Chittagong. The article also looks like a copyvio taken off the schools brochure. --Ragib (talk) 04:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chittagong per the standard outcomes for elementary schools, or as a second choice delete per nom and Ragib. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:44, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. This was the initial plan, but the initial editor reversed the redirect twice, blanked the page, and removed a G7 CSD tag. Attempts were made to communicate with no response. At that point, I thought to bring it to discussion. Then the AfD tag was removed twice. If another redirect was attempted, the editor's track record indicates further disruption. I was hoping that the AfD would bring the editor out to discuss the article with other editors, offering an opportunity to mutually arrive at consensus, but it doesn't appear to be working. Therefore, deletion may be the best answer at this point.  Cind.  amuse  06:58, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - per Cindamuse and Ragib, unless it  can be redirected to  an  education  section  in  an article about  Chittagong. Kudpung (talk) 15:12, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect/merge as usual for elementary schools. This has been one of our most satisfactory compromises. Cindamuse is right that the redirect should have been possible without coming here, but when people are stubborn we need a community decision.    DGG ( talk ) 06:09, 30 January 2011 (UTC) ,
