Sainik School, Chittorgarh

Highly POV article, in my opinion beyond rescue. Half of the article consists of copyvio of www.sschittorgarh.com. I could not find a proper version in the history, so the application of WP:TNT seems the best option for this article. The Banner talk 14:21, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Keep It is an institution with long history and rich traditions. Nothing that can not be fixed and article does not deserve deletion.Shyamsunder (talk) 19:36, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It is more than likely that you are right with that, but in my opinion this article is beyond salvation. Starting all over again looks easier than trying to remove all copyvio and puffery. The Banner talk 20:13, 9 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Verified secondary school, and a government military school to boot. No article is unsalvageable. Just remove everything except the facts and you've got a perfectly acceptable article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 21:12, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Could you please tell me what the last acceptable version is? The Banner talk 22:21, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't mention an acceptable version. I simply said remove everything except the facts, even if that leaves only a paragraph (stubs being, of course, perfectly acceptable articles). AfD is primarily for deletion of articles on non-notable subjects, not poorly-written articles on notable subjects. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:05, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Keep I Don't understand why this article has been nominated for deletion. This article has historical importance and significant coverage (here). If any portion needs to be rewritten, then it can be. But in any way this article does not deserve to be deleted. -- Som999 (talk) 15:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Keep: oppose WP:TNT. Delete unsourced sections or parts of sections like: "Organization Structure" "School Campus" --Tito Dutta (talk) 18:05, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Keep: To suggest that the article is WP:TNT is either totally irresponsible or sheer ignorance of how to build Wikipedia, or both, and demonstrates a total lack of engagement for Wikipedia by the nominator who not being a native speaker does not realise that part of the problem is that the article is written in traditional, flamboyant Indian English. This and the COPYVIOS can easily be cleaned up, and refs found for many of the notable alumni, for this article about a notable school system. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:24, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
