 * Keep: WP:VAGUEWAVE nomination. per the new guidelines … please specify specific guidelines.Following the nominations of several other schools … what other schools?  All vague and not specific.  And has WP:BEFORE been read ?  I see no sign of an attempt to tag the article as having problems of otherwise resolve per c#3 … If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, or an associated WikiProject, and/or adding a cleanup tag, such as ....

 * Ok, let me elaborate. I tagged the article as a prod, which was declined with the reason "accredited secondary school", which is not a notability rationale (neither has been addressed in the article). Other schools refer to a series of other schools that I recently deleted in AfDs as the closing admin (check my deletion log). An online search shows no relevant sources apart from school-related ones and some passing mentions. Therefore, fails the GNG. --Tone 07:04, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * A declined PROD should not lead to a "red mist" AfD avoiding a proper WP:BEFORE. There is still no preciseness of the policies/guidelines being alluded to which is poor example of an Wikipedia Admin referring to a educational institution deletion when these people should be encouraged towards precision.  Recent Schools brought up for consideration of deletion have been typically Asia related in the run up to Christmas new year and have possibly swamped WikiProject Schools.  It is actually unclear to me, but I am stupid, that anyone actually has a deletion log, though I guess the information may be gleaned from here .Bigdelboy (talk) 08:28, 9 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep:Nomination just vindictive. References show it was notable ('to be noted') in the past therefore is always notable. If it were truely not to be note, the nominator has a obligation to prove he has done due diligence, online in English and this case Bengali and in paper sources in the relevant local archives.

 * In the discussion we are alerted to other articles that have been falsely deleted due the misunderstanding, in the spirit of NPOV I suggest an admin locates them and a full review is done.ClemRutter (talk) 10:31, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
