 * Retarget to Gampaha Delete Nothing to say about the school that wouldn't already be included in the target article. PerWP:WITHIN, "The only information about the subject comes all from a single source" and "Only a few sentences of information can be written, and most likely, there will never be any more" Also the listing from the government shows multiple Thakshila Vidyalayas so it is not clear which one is this one.

 * If retained, it needs to be renamed without redirect to Thakshila Maha Vidyalaya, Gampaha so as to distinguish itself from all the other Thakshila Vidyalayas that offer grades 1-13 education. Thakshila College is too common a name to focus on just one. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 14:51, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Also potential confusion with the similar Taxila in Pakistan which has its own colleges/schools. See Taxila Central College, Horana which uses Thakshila as an alternative spelling AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:12, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete. I can't see any notability. It is up to the person who wrote it to provide the sources. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 05:57, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
