Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not sure what the **** is going on with this article. I declined an improper CSD. But this has existed for 9 years and has virtually no content. Extensive edit history, yet nothing here. Given the long existence of this article, CSD A3 is not appropriate. Rather, I will take to AfD and see if it is even WORTH trying to salvage. Notability seems dubious at best.

 * Comment -- The article is indeed on a notable substance but am not sure whether to vote for a keep or for a delete. May be adding some cites, we could save it from extinction.. The Herald 12:50, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * May be now I can hit a Keep since here is much needed improvement in the article as a whole (forget the size). Abecedare is right. ICSE of the most prestigious one, and I had it till ISC.-- The Herald 12:30, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep or allow recreation if someone ever writes a stub for this that would pass A7. As near as I can tell from the three book sources I added to the article, and the several more available, this organization oversees a goodly number of schools in India as well as administers a semiannual examination within those schools. Boards of Education in India is also in dire need of someone who could actually write about the topic. --j⚛e deckertalk 01:34, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep as per — CutestPenguin</b><sup style="font-size:50%">Hangout 17:33, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as undoubtedly notable, though the article is in poor shape. Quick background: In India's K-12 education system, there are two certification/graduations stages: Class X and Class XII (the latter being equivalent to high school graduation in the West). The certification exams for the two stages are conducted either by the respective state board, or a handful of national boards of which CBSE and ISCE are the most prominent, and arguably, most prestigious ones. (Besides conducting the exams, the boards serve as accreditation bodies for the affiliated schools) Abecedare (talk) 17:54, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep This board of education oversees a large number of schools in India. Sources indicate that it meets the notability criteria. The article needs improvement and not deletion.--Skr15081997 (talk) 11:44, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
