Very little content and no reliable sources, and very few ghits to indicate notability. » Swpb^{τ • ¢} 20:45, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - the arguments as to why we keep high school articles are given in the essay WP:NHS. Ghits are a very poor measure of the notability of Indian schools as most have very little in the way of Internet presence. To avoid systemic bias we should await a local search for sources from regional newspapers and libraries and the like. Lack of content is also not a valid deletion reason; that's the way of stubs; they start small and grow over the years and is how Wikipedia develops articles.

In my view, Jimmy Wales opinion from November 2003 is still valid:

"...Put another way, if someone wants to write an article about their high school, we should relax and accommodate them, even if we wish they wouldn't do it. And that's true *even if* we should react differently if someone comes in and starts mass-adding articles on every high school in the world. ..."Partial solution to rampant deletionism, Wikimedia, November 7, 2003.

• Keep: per TerriersFan, in accordance with every high school AfD since almost ever.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 01:55, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per TerriersFan, who clearly outlines for us once again the standard practice. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:19, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
