The result was delete. The current article as it is, does not assert notability, or more importantly, verifiability. No prejudice to recreation if new sources can be found. Yamamoto Ichiro (talk) 09:13, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - fails to meet WP:GNG, with no significant coverage in independent sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:17, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Per the long-standing consensus surrounding WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I believe that secondary schools in India are just as notable as those in the US. WP:GEOBIAS is on show here. Please start nominating American schools not Indian ones constantly. AusLondonder (talk) 03:13, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is a secondary school, . There's barely any material online to even confirm that exists, but the school's website features photos of infants, not teenagers. The bias here is against completely unsourced articles, not against articles about Indian schools. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:57, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The image used in the article suggests that the school is for infants through to 8th grade, implying that it is a primary school. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:29, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The opening sentence describes the school as "Rapha International Secondary School", . AusLondonder (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's not verified though,, as the article is completely unsourced. A bit of research using Google doesn't provide any support for this, and indeed suggests that it is a primary school. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:03, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment to above. Photos of children don't conclusively show what kind of school it is. Indian secondary schools typically start at K-level. I found a link at Indiastudychannel.com indicating that the school is secondary, but I'm not sure whether the site's information is crowdsourced. • Gene93k (talk) 04:59, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with the American school system,, so could you clarify what K-level is? I'm not sure whether that source is reliable. I found another source, which states that it is a kindergarten and primary school, but I doubt that it is reliable. In fact, I don't think there are any reliable, third-party sources online.

 * K level is kindergarten, Cordless Larry. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 11:53, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep It is notable. This article is awful, but see WP:AFDISNTCLEANUP. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 11:55, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi . Thanks for your comments. I am aware that AfD isn't cleanup, and so I looked for sources before commenting. Can I ask which sources you have found that establish notability? I couldn't find any. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:29, 12 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails to meet WP:GNG, has no significant coverage in independent sources and little information in non-independent sources. Pincrete (talk) 15:28, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. It says it's a secondary school on its website. Its admissions page, however, says "Nursery to 8th", which implies it's a primary and middle school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:11, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's an interesting find, . I don't think that site existed when this AfD started (it seems to have replaced this). The image on the admissions page was on the Wikipedia article before it was removed. I suspect that someone from the school has been building a new website and writing the Wikipedia article at the same time. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:25, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Cordless Larry, admissions was also not on their website a day or two ago nb 'Open from 1st April 2016'. Pincrete (talk) 22:28, 13 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: Without any cites, it doesn't even meet WP:V. Let's not get crazy folks in citing SCHOOLOUTCOMES, of which I am a staunch supporter.  But we have to meet WP:V, and crappy one sentence articles are often not worth keeping.--Milowent • hasspoken  00:29, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
