 * Neutral. Most schools are inherently notable. IHN, Notability (Buildings, structures, and landmarks), Notability (Schools).  Linguist At Large  15:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and expand. We consider all secondary schools to be notable. This one will have greater difficulties in sourcing than any others, but that is just cultural bias. DGG (talk) 18:32, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Notability (Schools) has not been accepted as a guideline, and a brief search of education-related news sources only returns results mentioning the school as part of yearly admission statistics reports. (This year 1,503 students applied for admission in the Mathayom 1 level, the twenty-second-highest among governmental schools.) I don't think of the school as being very well-known, but it is a large school nonetheless, with over 3,000 students. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I am adding a major competition win from here. This is a major school with over 3,000 students that is over-subscribed and that educates to age 18. It is not surprising that a Thai school is not well represented on the internet in English. However, we must avoid systemic bias and this is a case where we should await the finding local sources.

 * Keep per TerriersFan. Winning a national state-organized competition makes the school notable and it is likely more sources can be found in Thai. - Mgm|(talk) 13:38, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Secondary schools are inherently notable and other editors have shown this is more notable than average. Edward321 (talk) 01:09, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
