G.M. Public School, Karachi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I question whether this purported school and/or school system does in fact exist. If it was established in 1999, it would presumably have some internet presence however small.
 * there is no home-page, not even free website hosting sites, for this purported school and/or school system
 * there is no news, not even just passing mentions, in English language online news for this purported school and/or school system. (Very strong "nota bene": this does not take into account any mentions in Urdu language media)
 * A google search for "G.M. Public School, Karachi" + site:*.gov.pk" yields no results at all.
 * While Facebook pages can occasionally be considered as reliable sources, in this case it cannot. The facebook page and its links for this school and/or school system are its solitary mentions. Shirt58 (talk) 11:12, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. I can only find a school of the same name in Rourkela, India, listed in several textbooks available on GBooks as having approved it or supported the book. That school itself doesn't appear to exist anymore. I can't find anything proving this school in Pakistan even exists. G+ and facebook appear to have autogenerated pages for it. The G+ one uses a much more specific address that we have for it, so I don't think it acquired it from Wikipedia, unsure whats going on there, however that address leads to a position on a map which is on top of a Mosque.

 * Delete as unverified. (but the co-location of a mosque and a school is not altogether implausible)  DGG ( talk ) 23:14, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Searching for the address given by Google turns up the "Moon Light Grammar School', which may be an alternate name, or may be a different school in the same neighborhood. I didn't actually find any usable sources for that name, though. Searching for the only named person associated with the school turns up this: Man on mission- wants to produce 200 children. He is described as a school teacher, so who knows. The Facebook page mentions "SARAIIKI STUDENT FEDRETION", which sounds similar to "Saraiki Student Organization", which is/was an ethnic-based student org at Karachi University, mentioned at All Pakistan Muttahidda Students Organization. Or maybe not. Right now there isn't even enough information to figure this out. Grayfell (talk) 05:23, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
