Greenwood High International School

Promotional and non-notable. Could find no references where the school is discussed in detail. Page was created with the comment "they have more than 2400 students from 18 countries and deserve to be in wikipedia". Caffeyw (talk) 06:40, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and overhaul - per (the essay) WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, as a school offering secondary education which can be proved to exist, there's a sort of inherent notability. That said, this article is incredibly poorly-written and promotional, so needs a rewriting in order to meet our standards here. Ansh666 07:05, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Not sure it meets SCHOOLOUTCOMES. It may be a high school, but I don't see it be accredited by an independent body.  Also must be careful because what is considered "high school" in one area, may not be the same in another.  Caffeyw (talk) 08:14, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - It is accredited, here. The Whispering Wind (talk) 15:53, 17 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep The school is accredited for the International Baccalaureate Diploma, which is quite sufficient to prove that it exists and offers education at the appropriate level. We must be careful not to be too narrow in our approach to notability by the way - just as we accept schools for pupils with learning difficulties whose academic outcomes at leaving may be extremely modest, we must also be prepared to include schools which do not fit a standard US model for publicly funded schooling. --AJHingston (talk) 10:45, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - We keep high schools because experience shows that, with enough research, sources can almost invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a poor tool for finding sources on schools in the Indian sub-continent. Very few have much of an Internet presence. We need to avoid systemic bias and allow time for local hard-copy and local language sources to be investigated. The Whispering Wind (talk) 15:45, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per long precedent, endlessly reiterated and yet endlessly ignored by nominators, that verified secondary schools are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:39, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
