Gibbs High School, Kumta

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No notability established. Schools are not notable stand-alone, and the article is unreferenced and exclusive of original research. seicer &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  13:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Uttara Kannada until such time as notability, if present, can be established (being "one of the oldest", it may indeed be notable for this). - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 13:43, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I rather thought High Schools defaulted to "Notable" on Wikipedia? This will presumably be a school that goes up to the 10th Standard (see Education in India).— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  14:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I was able to add a reference, though its only value is to show that the school exists.— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  14:21, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep-- All high schools can be assumed to be notable, WP:NHS. --J.Mundo (talk) 18:46, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - We generally keep all American and British high/secondary schools as inherently notable (don't ever recall one being deleted) and there's no reason to start systemic bias against an Indian one. --Oakshade (talk) 23:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Thanks to the reference  added by User:S Marshall, we can say that the school exists. But since it does not seem to have a website there is neither a primary nor a secondary source to say anything else at all! So, unless other sources are found that allow us to write at least a two sentence sourced stub, the article should be deleted as failing WP:N. Abecedare (talk) 01:21, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - a high school with clear claims to notability. Indian schools always have a poor internet presence and, to encourage development and avoid systemic bias, it should be kept as a stand-alone page until local sources have been found. TerriersFan (talk) 17:08, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per above. In addition to the source found above, the school has also received coverage in Google Books. Gibbs High School has at least one notable alumnus, T.A. Pai, who won the Padma Bhushan award in 1972. Cunard (talk) 17:21, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
