 * Keep - the page has been nicely cleaned up. Outside the anglosphere ghits are not a good test for notability since many of the sources will be local to the country. A Christian international school in Thailand is sufficiently unusual to be notable. We need more coverage of education in Thailand not less. TerriersFan (talk) 03:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's mostly common, a christian school in a southeastern asian country, also no references is a major concern here, no matter what country. Secret account 04:06, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This school may be notable or not, but the systemic bias argument fails to move me. A huge proportion of our coverage of southeast Asia is skewed towards topics which are of importance to Anglophones living there, not issues of importance to the average local person; this is another example of that. cab (talk) 04:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * In addition, the Thai name "นานาชาติเซนต์จอห์นแมรี" gets only 32 GHits, all job postings. cab (talk) 06:55, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or think of an appropriate redirect target. ; the only non-trivial, reliable sources available (i.e. something that is not a directory listing or a webforum post) are webpages for associations of which they are a member, and the school itself. Regardless of the idea that "all high schools are notable", encyclopedia articles cannot be written about subjects where all the existing sources lack intellectual independence. cab (talk) 04:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. All articles needs good sources. The current consensus is that not all schools are notable. See also my standards. Bearian (talk) 13:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per TerriersFan. Dahliarose (talk) 01:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
