 * Delete - Poor article with no references which was given up on about 3 years ago. -- Excutient Talk 23:37, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV and my own standards. This school is not yet 100 years old, and while I could find a few references online to its cricket team, I found zero newspaper articles on Google, and there's not much else out there. Please ping me if you can find better sources. Bearian (talk) 21:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, I have added numerous secondary sources - now satisfies WP:NSCHOOL. I would have to say it wasn't too hard to find adequate sources/references. Dan arndt (talk) 01:55, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Subject does not have SIGCOV from IS RS with direct and indepth coverage demonstrating notablity for either GNG or showing significance per NBUILD. Sources in the article are mentions, nothing that amounts to SIGCOV. Events such as anniversaries and sports teams articles do not show notability by themselves. 18:50, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - I fail to see why extensive coverage of the school's anniversaries in several national newspapers is not considered significant by some editors. Clearly satisfies WP:GNG. Dan arndt (talk) 06:43, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
