 * There was consensus at the previous Afd that Kendriya Vidyalaya are high schools and that WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES for secondary schools would therefore apply. I don't see anything in the deletion rationale that changes or even acknowledges that. Keep Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:24, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see the point of this article. It isn't encyclopedic and doesn't impart any information that anyone is likely to look for in an encyclopedia (ie a list). It also seems to be a rehash of this website's contents: http://www.kvsangathan.nic.in/ and http://www.kvsangathan.nic.in/SearchForKVs.aspx - albeit in a more accessible form. Wouldn't it be better for the article creator to get http://www.kvsangathan.nic.in/ to include such a directory page on its own website, rather than Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tonyinman (talk • contribs) 16:28, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * But it is a list. How is this not a list, if I understand you correctly? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep article gives us the list of all kv, I don't see any problem here....we have a list, perhaps it will better help another wikipedian to write a article about the schools.only few kendriya vidyalya have articles of there own.  Abhisheks 91 (talk) 17:11, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep, but not so much per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES as per WP:LISTOUTCOMES pursuant to the guideline on categories, lists, and navigation templates with emphasis on WP:NOTDUP. Sam Sailor Talk! 16:38, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 *  keep helpful content should be kept. Why keeping a list is a subject of discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beachin15 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
