Pakkred Secondary School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article was deleted under PROD but subsequently recreated. It fails the GNG, being cited only to YouTube, Facebook, and the school website. A WP:BEFORE search in both English and Thai reveals nothing besides trivial and routine coverage. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:32, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm not seeing any indication of notability, let alone enough to justify an article. (Yet another example of why there really needs to be a speedy category for educational institutions, IMO.) Fails WP:GNG / WP:ORG. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:51, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Lets see, this is a junk article about a school that clearly isn't notable. Which obviously makes it worth deleting. Really, it shouldn't have been recreated. I'm tempted to say salt it as well as deleting it so it's not recreated again, but I'll leave that up to others to decide. I think salting it is probably a solid call though all things considered. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:05, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: A school with significant history (over 100 years, the oldest and main school of the district, originally occupying a historic building), with a large student body (over 3,000), and mentioned in news reports as one of thirteen schools nationwide which employed a lottery admissions system in 2017, one of ten schools participating in a cultural programme for the WorldSkills ASEAN competition in 2018, and for its role as a large standardised exams centre and polling station for national elections, but I'm not seeing in-depth third-party coverage directly about the school itself. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:20, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I mean, it has a long history as a school. The only thing out there about it seems to brief mentions of it in some kind of research study. So, unfortunately even with how it is we still need sources that are not primary and they clearly don't exist. Not that I'm recommending it, but someone could make the argument that there are just no sources that we have access to because of "systemic bias" or whatever due to where it's located. I personally don't think it's a valid argument though because rarely, if ever, are grade 7 through 12 talked about in sources in any meaningful, in-depth. Even ones that are not in places where systemic bias might be an issue for usually otherwise notable subjects. I don't think the historical aspect or the lottery admissions thing is enough for notability on their own either. At least that's my read of things. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
