Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chanda Lalit Mohan High School H.S.


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. There were more arguments for keep than delete, but none of them addressed the encyclopedic notability of the topic. Promotional issues largely cleared up, although AfD is not cleanup. The "most recent discussion" was also not a wholesale rejection of secondary educational institutions as being inherently notable, but it did require venerability. Given the topic, I doubt consensus will further develop on this topic unless it is proven to either be a hoax, or substantial independent information about the school become available. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:16, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Chanda Lalit Mohan High School H.S.

I really don't know where to start....Non-notable with exactly zero sources except one listing in WBHS's databases....blatantly POV....with a sprinkling of WP:! — FR&thinsp;+ 12:12, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. All high schools are notable. At least this source confirms that the school exists. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 13:00, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete and Retarget to Panchita which discusses this as the only high school in the town. Article is highly promotionally-biased as it stands, but the section can be developed in Panchita, and when there are enough secondary sources, could potentially spin off to a legit article again. Right now I just see random articles such as DailyHunt   I would also rename to Chanda Lalit Mohan High School as H.S. is redundant with High School, but according to its student ID in that article, Chanda Lalit Mohan High School H.S or Chanda Lalit Mohan High School (H.S.) can suffice as aliases.

 * Keep - We keep high schools for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian schools because, unlike US schools for example, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched since no evidence has been adduced that this school cannot meet notability requirements.

 * That's what drafts are for, so research can be done and filled in until they are ready for publication. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:26, 29 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep, per, and clean up - which any useful editor coming across such an article can, and probably should, do. That said, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever promotional, 'blatant' or otherwise, in the short neutral text about this non-profit government school. Perhaps this is one reason why new and inexperienced users should first familiarise themselves with policies and guidelines before nominating, closing, or otherwise participating in AfD discussions.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:19, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This was done to clean up the promotional text. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:04, 29 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment : Just to make it explicit, the promotional elements of this version of the article include a detailed description of how to reach the school from Kolkata, an overly detailed overview of the subjects offered by the school, the capitalization of arts (stream not offered by many institutions in Bengal) and the overall tone which almost reads like a brochure (albeit in bad English). Additionally, I personally feel that !votes should be based on concrete sources (or on the lack of them respectively) rather than hinting that the nominator (me) failed to abide by WP:BEFORE. — FR&thinsp;+ 07:08, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The claim that all high schools are notable does not follow consensus. In fact the most recent consensus was a rejection of this view. ALso, contrary to what is claimed, we do not keep US high schools because they "dump everything on the internet." In the case I know best, that of Sterling Heights High School, the keep was based on non-sports related coverage from indepdent news media. I still disagree with that keep, but the sources went a lot deeper than showing existence.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:50, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Panchita. The school is verified to exist, but we don't have enough source material for a dedicated article. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:36, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: a verified high school. More sources likely to exist in local language. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:13, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. General consensus has long been that verifiable secondary schools are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:30, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Does your comment at Administrators' noticeboard/Archive296 that you are avoiding school AfDs no longer apply, ? Cordless Larry (talk) 12:41, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
