Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kollam

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Disputed redirection to Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (I redirected it per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES; User:Aravind V R reverted). This is a poorly-sourced article about a school that is either WP:COI or original research. Citations are to self-published sources except one press release. I'd like to get consensus that this school doesn't meet our notability criteria. FalconK (talk) 09:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: Based on my searches I assess this to be a notable school. Walrus Ji (talk) 13:59, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Navodaya schools is a network of schools funded by the central government in India. There is one such school in every district and provides free education to meritorious students in every district. The school used to have a dedicated website but now the government decided to have a single website for all schools, possibly to not drain government funds on domain fees. The absence of a dedicated website might have caused this confusion that this might not be a notable school, which is not the case. These schools, in most cases, are the best public schools in every district. I just noticed several schools listed in List of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas have their wiki pages being removed by some self-righteous editors who are doing a huge disservice to this encyclopedia and are wasting the time of several editors who have contributed to these pages. Most information added in these pages might get irrecoverably lost due to the such irresponsible activism. Aravind V R (talk) 14:33, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, please do a minimal research on the notability of a page before suggesting it for deletion. A google search might prove enough. Aravind V R (talk) 14:42, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NSCHOOL / (WP:ORGCRIT) or NBUILD. Subject lacks WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV that addresses the subject directly and in-depth. None of the sources in the article are IS, BEFORE showed nothing that meets SIGCOV and no sources have been provided above. Article does not meet NBUILD, "…they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." There is basic, run of the mill, routine, normal, coverage, the type all schools receive in local press. This is a normal school, not an encyclopedic topic.  // Timothy :: talk  04:33, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

 * delete like mentioned by Timmy above, the school fails general notability criteria, as well as notability criteria for organisations. Something doesnt become notable because of being a part of something notable. Notability is not inherited. This particular individual school is just another school that exists. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:05, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * verifiable existence is not notability. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:19, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * kindly see No inherited notability, and No inherent notability, the latter guideline specifically mentions schools. In short: this school is not notable only because it's parent school/organisation is notable. To become notable, this school also has to pass the relevant criteria. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:38, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails GNG and relevant SNG criteria we have for highschools. Navodayas are no exception, unless and until we talk about the whole system. ─ The Aafī on Mobile   (talk)|undefined  20:32, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I remember nominating a number of JNV articles for deletion, once bundled, but sadly, lesser participation, or the procedural close of one, left me somehow having bad response. Offcourse few were deleted. We should have a different policy on JNV schools, or atleast include one in the policies. These are so many JNVs in India. ─ The Aafī on Mobile   (talk)|undefined  20:35, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
