Non-notable, unreferenced, poor article name and difficult to salvage. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 06:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Zero ghits for the actual name John Joseph Murphy Memorial Higher Secondary School. The article name appears to be what it goes by in the world, but even that has very few ghits. I can't find anything on this topic. I hate to take the argument that if I can't see it, it must not exist... but if nobody can see it, is it notable? --/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 07:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The school does exist according to the Kerala state government. Try searching for variations on the name. • Gene93k (talk) 00:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - needs sources, but high schools are generally notable --T-rex 18:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Has been verified to exist, and, as with any high school, there is bound to be coverage of its achievements in reliable sources, even if they are not all online and in English like this one in The Hindu naming the school as one of the top athletics schools in Kerala and this one describing how one of the school's students won the 100m hurdles at the Kerala School Games after a thrilling finish. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep All high schools adequately investigated have been shown to be notable, which is why we adopt the convention that all the articles are notable to avoid wasting time dealing with them here. As expected, this one now has sufficient references to show athletic notability. DGG (talk) 04:23, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - sources have already been found and this article needs time for local searches. We must take care to avoid systemic bias against those countries without a great internet tradition or where sources may not be in English. This high school is, additionally, notable for its significant place in its community. TerriersFan (talk) 04:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It's a high school so notable IMO, sources may be difficult to find in this case but deleting isn't the answer and would endorse systemic bias. RMHED (talk) 22:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
