Non-notable organization. Can't find independent sources that indicate that this is notable. The article is full of puffery too. Qwerty Binary (talk) 12:01, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Further to this, the article is The kings school, Goa but recreated. It therefore stands to reason that the article should be deleted immediately. --Qwerty Binary (talk) 12:03, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep: the article has a ToI ref, which is both reliable and significant. Google search shows fe other mentions. Secondary school articles are generally kept. The article title needs to be corrected which I'll do. Tito ☸ Dutta 12:35, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep There is a strong presumption of notability for secondary schools, as described in WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. In this case, the article includes a reference to a brief story in the Times of India about the school. The article should be improved, not deleted.

 * Keep - We keep high schools because experience shows that, with enough research, sources can almost invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a poor tool for finding sources on schools in the Indian sub-continent. Very few have much of an Internet presence. We need to avoid systemic bias and allow time for local hard-copy and local language sources to be investigated. The Whispering Wind (talk) 17:23, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is not a high school, it currently doesn't offer HS level. It is apparently supposed to offer HS level at some point, but it's TOOSOON to know if that will happen.  Caffeyw (talk) 23:56, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - Grade 10 is leaving certificate level that marks a high school. Grades 11/12 are senior high schools or in UK terms, 6th form. No grounds for deletion here. The Whispering Wind (talk) 00:27, 26 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment The school now offers instruction through grade 10, which is high school (or secondary school) level. It is affiliated with the CBSE, the Indian government agency that regulates secondary schools and conducts nationwide testing of students in grade 10. When a new high school was built in my home town a few years ago, initially it accepted just 9th and 10th graders. No one claimed that it was not a real high school.

 * It's only very recently added 9-10 grades, and has plans at some point to add 11-12, otherwise the school before was only 1-8. It's a toss up really, I can see it either way, I just have a hard time calling something that doesn't offer the four years a high school and for whom most classes are in fact not high school level.

 * From own experience, having swimming pool is not very common in Indian schools. Anyway, a school offering education of Nursery to X grades is generally considered notable in India. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 11:12, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Please Keep The Page as I've added information form the Handbook of the School and pictures form Wikicommons and the school.--Gdcdigital (talk) 10:39, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per long-standing consensus, for reasons endlessly reiterated, that secondary schools are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:04, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
