Notre Dame College, Dhaka

 * Keep and Expand: Notre Dame College is one of the most famous higher secondary colleges in Bangladesh. This Banglapedia article would illustrate a lot of information on the history and importance of this college in the education sector of Bangladesh. I would definitely want to know the rationale behind the NN claim. Most likely I assume it is a systemic bias. In any case, this article should be expanded. By the way, I'd like to mention that "College" here refers to an institution providing education at the class 11-12 level, equivalent to the junior and senior years of US Highschools. --Ragib 05:08, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand as per Ragib. The link provided establishes that it is a notable Bangladeshi secondary school with links to the University of Dhaka. Capitalistroadster 05:43, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Nominating one of our all too few articles about a country like Bangladesh (which is not some little place, but has around half the population of the U.S.) is not a good way to help Wikipedia's global coverage improve. CalJW 18:43, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep resist systemic bias please. --Vsion 00:44, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Bad faith nomination. Keep article and censure nominator. --Gene_poole 03:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Censure nominator for reasons given for previous entry. Grace Note 06:56, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly a bad faith nomination which is indicative of multiple systemic biases against other countries and schools in general. Since notability is not a valid criteria for deleting schools per WP Policy, it makes the nomination of a famous higher secondary college in Bangladesh all the more galling. Bad faith nominators should be censured. The nominator has a history of rampant VfD nominating of clearly notable persons and topics, almost universally with the reason being "NN".--Nicodemus75 11:07, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The nominator's forthfulness in fighting cruft and the cruftlovers is to be congratulated. He should be given a barnstar, not accused of having bad faith.  Unfortunately, he picked the wrong target.  Week keep on basis of demonstrated notability. Dunc|&#9786; 17:08, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The cruftlovers? - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 09:27, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Also, the motives for the nomination seem obscure. Shauri 23:03, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and allow for organic growth. Klonimus 23:40, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I will vote to keep a school with demonstrated notability. I wish the "keep regardless" voters could respond in kind. Denni &#9775; 02:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep schools (see Schools/Arguments). ··gracefool |&#9786; 22:16, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, per Ragib. I don't understand why this article was nominated; a quick Google search established notability quickly. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 09:26, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Excellent article. --Tony Sidaway Talk  17:23, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Schools/Arguments. Education overseas is especially interesting to me.  We should be encouraging this type of participation.    Un  focused  21:56, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
