Hindu Vidyapith

I have searched but I am unable to find independent reliable sources to establish notability for this school. Article fails the GNG and fails WP:ORG. All hits appear to either be primary ie Facebook, or generic directory listings. Ridernyc (talk) 18:47, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - as per WP:NHS. Please, also search using the term "Chittaranjan Colony Hindu Vidyapith". I see many schools here without a single source. NickAang (talk) 05:11, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * once again sources that establish notability? As for the second part please read WP:OTHERSTUFF. Ridernyc (talk) 07:16, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, places of secondary education are generally kept, provided it's not made up and one reliable source shows it actually exists (which we seem to have consensus on). Nickaang is on point here, as internet coverage of sources that we would expect to see in the US for a high school is not necessarily as readily available in India, and deletion may contribute towards systematic bias.

 * Keep I would also like to reiterate that Nick has shown very credible evidence to suggest this meets WP:NHS. I think this AfD has a WP:SNOW chance considering OUTCOMES. Mkdw talk 06:58, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable secondary school. Few more citations can be found in Bengali lang web! --Tito Dutta (talk) 03:21, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - We keep high schools for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian schools because, unlike US schools for example, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched since no evidence has been adduced that this school cannot meet notability requirements.
