 * Comment. Appears to be a secondary school, but the website (which is in Bengali) doesn't make it clear. If it is then we should keep it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:19, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's a higher secondary college, totally non notable in its locality. They don't even have their own campus/building, they are running their classes in rented classrooms. I can't even find any news source about them. The google search results include their own website and some yellow pages. - Mar11 (talk) 15:29, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep We assume that all secondary schools are notable. It has a website, we keep the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:36, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES requires a bit more than their own website. The school has to be degree granting, and there must be an independent source to prove existence. If it were degree granting, it should appear on one of the Ministry of Education's lists of institutions, but I can't find it under any plausible variation of name. These news sources may prove existence: , , , but I'll leave it to someone fluent in Bengali to say whether they prove "degree granting". --Worldbruce (talk) 02:31, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't have to be degree-granting. It has to be a secondary school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:51, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I can see how it could be read as "Most (independently accredited degree-awarding institutions) and high schools". Instead I've always parsed it as "Most independently accredited degree-awarding (institutions and high schools)", but I'm accustomed to degree being used in the broadest sense of "A stage of proficiency of qualification in a course of study ... (can include secondary schools)", in other words for something that might be better called a diploma, higher secondary school certificate, or O-Level. Mar11's translation indicates that it was HSC-awarding at one time (I don't draw a distinction between "awarded by the institution" and "awarded by the board that accredited the institution and under which it operated"). So for me it fits the conditions of WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. In which case it comes down to whether this is "most" or not, and how people weigh SCHOOLOUTCOMES vis-à-vis WP:GNG and WP:ORG. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:51, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * "Degree" is here actually being used in its usual English-language sense (when relating to education) of a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree. I don't know where you're from, but that's how it's almost invariably used and understood in the native English-speaking world. So a "degree-awarding institution" is a university or tertiary college that awards such qualifications. It isn't a secondary school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:49, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment This is a list of 20 colleges where it is placed at 18.  This source says, the registration of this institution to run as a Higher Secondary college expired in 2012, but they are still running their business.  This is an advertisement or press release, a very promotional article. Moreover this institution is not degree granting. Students have to sit for Higher Secondary Examination under Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Chittagong after two years of study in this college and get certificate from the board. - Mar11 (talk) 14:41, 17 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - past practice has been to keep verified articles about secondary schools, but this has no sources and the institution is not listed on the Ministry of Education's list of secondary schools. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:29, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
