 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Closing as keep without prejudice to a good faith nomination being made sometime in the future. The nominator is a block evading sockpuppet and sockpuppets have no standing here.Their opinion is discounted and as there are no other arguments put forward for deletion, the result is keep.

 * Speedy Keep (procedural) Bad faith nomination, without proper WP:BEFORE, by now blocked sockpuppet apparently upset that the article they authored about their own school was deleted. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:31, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * do the guidelines say anywhere that nominations by socks have to be procedurally kept or is it more of a norm then an actual policy? --Adamant1 (talk) 10:43, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe this is covered by WP:SKCRIT #4. The nominator was a sockpuppet evading a previous block, so they should not have been able to nominate the page for deletion. Also, the nomination was in violation of behavioral guideline Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. They made it immediately after 5-6 school articles they created were deleted as non-notable. Nominations made for the purpose of disruption are covered by WP:SKCRIT #2. On top of that, the nomination was in bad faith. They nominated 10 schools in the space of 30 minutes or so. Given the rapid fire rate, it's unlike that they performed a WP:BEFORE or considered alternatives to deletion. The essay section Cleaning up after a sock puppet is blocked also talks a bit about the best way to take away the reward for violating policy.
 * All of this is not to say that the subject is notable or that someone else can't nominate it for deletion. Six months down the road I might nominate it myself. But I hope anyone who does, heeds the advice in Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions: "When considering the nomination of a black high school in the United States that existed for 100 years but closed when segregation ended around 1970, consider that it might be worthwhile to search black newspapers that aren't available online before trying to delete it." This topic, a 100+ year-old rural school in a place where they speak Bengali and internet connectivity is a novelty, presents a similar situation. I hope it first would be tagged with notability to bring the problem to the attention of editors who might be able to help. Then, if no offline Bengali sources materialize after a reasonable amount of time, I hope alternatives like merge/redirect to the enclosing community would be considered before deletion. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:27, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
