Keep - It is a notable institution. But article still needs to be improved. --Avinesh Jose T 06:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Do you know of any reliable sources that discuss this information? Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 11:33, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it is a Govt of India listed cbse school. --Avinesh Jose T 05:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Comparable schools in western countries have articles. There are 192 Wikipedia articles for elementary schools in California alone, for example.[1] Also see Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias. ~ priyanath ^talk 06:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Comment The site above says that the school is recognized by the government, but I dont think that this alone offers it notability. If reliable sources existed that stated how this school is notable, then this issue would be more clear. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 19:22, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no claims of notability or evidence of why it should have an article. In general all schools are recognised by governments, so that doesn't confer notability. Canterbury Tail talk 20:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see no sources which assert its notability. I don't even see enrolment information which would be used to help to assertain a school's notability usually Computerjoe 's talk 23:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep agree with priyanath's comments above. If there is a criterion for inclusion of school then it should be applied equally to California or Kerala. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 05:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - senior secondary schools are notable. Indian schools are poorly represented on the Web and we need to be aware of, and avoid, systemic bias. Time should be given for references to be identified from local sources. TerriersFan (talk) 22:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Priyanath. Looks a valid Indian school stub. Expand rather than delete.--Sting Buzz Me... 11:00, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: Consensus is that all secondary schools, even those without any particular notability or sources, should be kept. Further, I'm concerned about systemic bias here: would these 'delete' !votes happen for a UK high school? But I would like to see those 192 California elementary schools come up on AfD.

These 'votes' would occur for a UK secondary school where reliable secondary sources aren't available nor is any enrolment information. For all we know, there may only be 100 students in which case it would be deleted (even if it were in the UK or US!). So perhaps it is 'systematic bias', but we can't prove its notability like we could for a Western school. Computerjoe 's talk 12:26, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
