Lahore Grammar School

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Finishing nomination by IP. Rationale was "No indication of notability - grammar schools are not inherently notable." – User:76.102.12.35. I am neutral.  Jujutacular  T · C 16:07, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This in TIME magazine for a start: "one of the country's most prestigious places of learning". Also the New York Times as well. -- Pontificalibus (talk) 21:39, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Both are passing mentions, not significant coverage with the school as the subject of the article. 76.102.12.35 (talk) 19:04, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. This is entirely comparable to the articles on High Schools in the UK and US that we keep without problem. It may need some work though. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  05:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Grammar schools, unlike secondary or high schools, are not considered inherently notable. 76.102.12.35 (talk) 19:04, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Let us be quite clear about this. Grammar Schools are either elementary schools or they are elite High Schools (check out Manchester Grammar School). This school is the latter. Bduke    (Discussion)  21:04, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not start with deleting the majority of the copyrighted text that appears to be copypasted word-for-word from http://www.lgs.edu.pk/ -- &oelig; &trade; 09:09, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing the copyvio text. Am I missing something?  Jujutacular  T · C 21:21, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh I already removed the majority of it, check the history. There's still some left though, if you search for strings, most came from that website. -- &oelig; &trade; 04:45, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * ' Delete Lacks coverage in 3rd party sources Keep' based on clarification of type of school it is and addition of references RadioFan (talk) 19:33, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Since American high schools are generally always kept with often only a brief mention in the local media, why should this school get deleted when there is clearly more significant coverage.-- Pontificalibus (talk) 20:21, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It would help if the grades served were made clear in the article.


 * Keep - this is not a single school but a major group of high schools and we keep school districts and groups. The lack of sourcing can be addressed by editing. As an indication of what an outstanding school this is, one of the students came out top in the world in two O-levels. TerriersFan (talk) 20:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources provided in this AfD. I would not have applied WP:NHS to this necessarily because I don't know if the standards of coverage are different, but this clearly meets the standards by which US and British schools are found to be notable.--otherlleft 06:20, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: This is a clearly notable Grammar school, and its article should not be deleted just because someone doesn't know what that means -- Boing!   said Zebedee  11:35, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
