nonnotable, local school,no remarkable achievement, not worth an article Uzhuthiran (talk) 04:23, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Secondary schools are generally considered inherently notable. Not quite policy yet, but WP:SCHOOL has more information. Beeblbrox (talk) 04:32, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * aw crap, I hadn't actually looked there in a while, apparently it failed, but the practical reality is that secondary school articles are generally kept. Beeblbrox (talk) 04:35, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Looks like schoolcruft to me - highly primary sourced, not asserting notability. Note that "all ___ are notable" type arguments are usually considered arguments one avoids in deletion discussions. Orderinchaos 07:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm just keeping it real homie. It's not really a case of WP:WAX, or I'd be right there with you. I honestly think there is a consensus (I don't even really agree with it, but there is one) that secondary schools (High school for my fellow ignorant Americans) are inherently notable. I don't think individual train stations are really notable either, but consensus says otherwise. "Fight the ocean and you will drown" Beeblbrox (talk) 07:40, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Was actually more WP:ITSA I was thinking of. Train stations have reliable sources and a paper trail, are almost always built as public works by governments, and (especially in Australia) often very closely linked to community and development, so they tend to satisfy several grounds for notability. However, non-metropolitan stations that are simply a "hole in the ground" tend not to survive AfD. Re secondary schools, rthere is no such consensus as far as I am aware - I know of plenty of secondary schools (especially private ones) that have been removed at AfD, although it's true that "establishment" private secondary schools as well as state secondary schools tend to be maintained due to the existence of multiple reliable sources about them.

 * Strong Keep - not only a high school but one that has won state athletic championships. Needs a cleanup but that is grounds for editorial action not deletion. Indian schools always have a poor internet presence and time should be given to allow local sources to be found since we need to avoid systemic bias. TerriersFan (talk) 16:34, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep: While I disagree with TerriersFan's implicit assertion that schools winning state athletic championships are automatically notable, systemic bias concerns plus an acknowledgment that secondary schools are generally considered notable here on Wikipedia, even ones that otherwise fail WP:N, leads me to conclude that this school should be kept.

 * Speedy keep - It is a notable, secondary-icse schools and generally considered notable and independent of the school itself. However, the tone has to be improved. I strongly feel this AfD is inappropriate here. -- Avinesh Jose   T  04:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I edited it and chopped unnecessary details per WP:NOT and WP:CITE. Still minor fixation may be required. -- Avinesh Jose  T  06:01, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep High schools are generally considered notable.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Does not seem to be non-notable. BTW, most schools are local only: that does not make them non-notable. --GDibyendu (talk) 19:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
