Schools are always notable, and I do not know much about Indian dialects, but I doubt this string of letters with a number in it corresponds with the foreign name of any school.  Blue Rasberry  13:59, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: I agree, this doesn't appear to be a name of a real school. Marokwitz (talk) 14:00, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Its an abbreviation for "Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1, Jalandhar Cantonment". The number is there because,sometimes the military base/settlement is too big to have only one school; Since KVs don't have individual names they are numbered instead. Seems to have been created by a student (hence the short name). It is a government Higher secondary school coming under the Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) school system. I have stubbed, added coords and sourced the article now.--Sodabottle (talk) 15:19, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename to Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1 (Jalandhar Cantonment), or something similar. The current article is beset with unfamiliar abbreviations, but the intended subject appears to be Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1 Jalandhar Cantt., whose website is at http://www.kv1jrc.com/ . This school, evidently located in Jalandhar Cantonment in Punjab (India), is not currently listed at List of Kendriya Vidyalayas, and the Education in Punjab (India) does not yet discuss secondary schools either.  The school's very generic name makes searching for additional content awkward; the search string <"Jalandhar" "Kendriya Vidyalaya"> yields 285 GHits but many of are listings, or references to other KVs in Jalandhar and Punjab generally. The school website is informative, however, and should provide enough detail to create at least an intelligible stub. WP:HS/N suggests that as long as the school's existence is verified, articles like this should be kept to avoid systemic bias.  (added after edit conflict) Sodabottle's edits make this clearer.--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:27, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
