Article does not hint or note at why subject may or may not be notable, out of the thousands of schools in existence out there. Besides that, there are no sources to establish notability. —  Dæ dαlus Contribs  20:54, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - not only a high school but a large one at that. Decent coverage here. All Indian schools have a poor web presence so we need to take care to avoid systemic bias. TerriersFan (talk) 00:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * A single source, hardly grounds for notability.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  00:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep-this school hosts more than 4000 students.If that does not make it notable then what will.And yes,indian schools have a poor presence in the internet.I myself am a student of the school and i can assure you that it is one of the largest private schools in north-east india.I will post links if i can find them59.93.212.20 (talk) 04:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

 * There are a series of edits from the 59.93.x.x range. It's just ISP IP switching. --Stephen 08:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - The article seems notable and it is about an institution in a large country. DeletionMojoMan (talk) 00:06, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - 10 sports team news pieces and two about the school, they do appear to have an ok football team, losing badly in the semi-finals pretty often! -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 03:43, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Secondary schools are generally accorded notability and there is definitely a bias on Wikipedia against schools in non-Western nations. Dig hard enough and the sources are there for a school this large. I would suggest adding newspaper references as well as information about awards or offering A-levels, etc. Drawn Some (talk) 12:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
