PROD removed without explanation. Seems like a run-of-the-mill K-12 school, with no independent references establishing basic facts, let alone notability. Drmies (talk) 17:52, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

The article has been started by an ex-student. More information will be added as the school has been informed of the article creation. Mpralte 23:30, 23 May 2012 (IST)

 * Keep - Grades 10-11-12 makes it a high school, which should be kept according to standard practice for such institutions. Carrite (talk) 23:01, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep a reference for the school and  the official website This Higher secondary + high school article should be kept due to Notability (high schools) The high schools are kept as experience has shown that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Also per wp:BIAS as Google is not a very recommended tool for finding sources on Indian schools because, unlike US schools, they don't dump everything on the Internet and very few have much of an Internet presence at all. Print media is more popular here, local language which cannot be googled is another concern. 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. The article now has some references so this AFD can reach its logical conclusion now--  Ð ℬig  XЯaɣ  13:54, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - this was Prodded 1 minute after creation! Sorry, but I fail to see how WP:BEFORE due diligence was carried out in such a narrow window? Anyway, as stated above, sufficient coverage in reliable sources is likely to exist but requires local searches to establish. The school has been verified and it is better to improve and allow the article to grow organically than to delete. TerriersFan (talk) 23:36, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: as per Notability (high schools). -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 07:08, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: per above all. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 07:28, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep – we've very lenient criteria for the notability of high schools, and I don't see any defect here. undefined — Bill william compton  Talk   05:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Consensus is that all verified secondary schools are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:07, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm disappointed by the quality of comments above, many are using the old "inherited notability" fallacy. The criteria for inclusion for high schools, per WP:ORG and WP:NHS is notability, not existance.  Them From  Space  19:20, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The first line of WP:NHS reads "Articles on high schools and secondary schools, with rare exceptions, have been kept when nominated at Articles for Deletion except where they fail verifiability". By verifiability i am assuming "verifiability of existence" and not "verifiability of notability". Isn't that what it means? §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 19:40, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It also states that articles on schools must be able to meet notability standards. We should not be discussing the school's existence, but rather whether it meets our notability guidelines, specifically WP:N or WP:ORG.  Them From  Space  20:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm disappointed that you seem to be using the old "letter of the law" fallacy. When custom and common sense clearly go in one direction we don't need a written policy or guideline to tell us what to do. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:45, 28 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - per Carrite.  →TSU tp* 04:24, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
