List of educational institutions in Shimla

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Very, very redlinky list, no sources. I doubt any of these are notable. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 21:15, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Generally, high schools have been held to be notable. And we do have articles on school disricts which are essentially lists of schools.  The non-notable schools can still be a valid entry on the list; it's just an editting concern. -- Whpq (talk) 17:08, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Expand and keep: There are many notable schools in Shimla. Although the article needs a cleanup by removing red links for articles to topics that are unlikely ever to have an article per WP:RED.  WorLD8115   ( TalK )   16:07, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even if most of these schools were not considered notable in themselves we could still have a list, in the same way that unnotable elementary schools in the US are listed in school district articles. It appears, however, just from the names, that most of these are almost certainly notable as high schools (GHS = "Government High School", GSSS = "Government Senior Secondary School", SSS = "Senior Secondary School"), so we can keep the red links there to encourage article creation.
