 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. It remains our practice to consider all verified secondary schools as if they were notable. This was confirmed in the latest RfC, and the purpose is to avoid the thousands of debates that would otherwise clog up AfD, and nonethless yield results no better than random.

 * Delete a school website is not enough on its own to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:29, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Retarget to List of schools in Karachi where it is listed, all three Beacons. No notable news sources for the school itself to highlight it from the hundreds of schools listed there. No equivalent article in Urdu Wikipedia. Alternatively, redirect to Beaconhouse School System (Pakistan) but there seems to be a school of that name separate from Beacon Askari according to that List of schools.

 * Current practice: WP:NSCHOOL which says "All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must satisfy either this guideline (WP:ORG) or the general notability guideline, or both. For profit educational organizations and institutions are considered Commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. (See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, especially for universities.)"  WP:ORGCRIT: "if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject."  Official website: significant coverage: Yes (school website), Independent: No (school website), Reliable: Yes (self-pub), Secondary: No (school website), Pass: 0 (Fail, can't count towards ORGCRIT)   AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:49, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect to List of schools in Karachi, due to a lack of available independent sources on which to base an article. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:57, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
