A non notable school that fails notability for organisations/schools/ It also lacks significant coverage in reliable sources.

All the coverage I could find was from database entries for schools/education, or passing coverage where the sources were covering the school's founder. But these sources are not reliable either. —usernamekiran (talk) 03:37, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are sources and the school has been in publications because it is a charity school, but these sources are not on the internet. It was recently written about in a newspaper called Patrika, which highlighted the fact that this school was set up for the poor and the needy.
In terms of the school not be notable, what constitutes a notable school? There are many listings for schools on Wikipedia that are standard private schools that are set up for profit. The Guru Nanak Mission High School was set up purely by a group of people with the objective of bringing education to those that would otherwise be denied it.
Furthermore, this is a Sikh school, and I am concerned that it has been earmarked for deletion for that reason. TheBiographersScribe (talk) 22:16, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is admittedly a new article on Wikipedia, which is why there are no notable students or much history. This detail still needs to be added. Some of the details are missing because the school is currently in the process of preparing its new website, which will enable reliable links to be created.

As an example, why is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campion_School,_Mumbai allowed. It is a non-notable private school with fewer students. The Guru Nanak Mission HIgh school had 2000 students in the year before Covid. TheBiographersScribe (talk) 22:22, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Guru Nanak Mission High School is managed by the Punjabi Sabha that provides charitable doctors, dentists, a sikh temple, and a school. All of which are funded by a charity that has outreach projects. It excels academically and in sports. TheBiographersScribe (talk) 22:23, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podar_International_School is another example of a private school that is not notable, but given that it is fee-paying, there are numerous sources on the internet about it. The Guru Nanak Mission High school provides an education for children that would otherwise not be able to afford an education - sadly that means that there are not many links available on the internet.
Perhaps it would be an idea for someone in Mumbai that is associated with Wikipedia to visit the school and see what they have achieved, their background and their purpose. TheBiographersScribe (talk) 22:27, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Another example of a private school that is also not notable - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Mary_School,_Mumbai. Is it fair that these articles remain given that they have been up for longer and had more time to find links and to add information to the page? The Guru Nanak Mission High School has been selected for deletion after virtually no time. TheBiographersScribe (talk) 22:30, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
