The result was delete. All schools get casual or local mentions, which is why we use WP:SIGCOV as a measuring stick for anything short of a High School, thus we have a consensus to delete. Dennis - 2¢ 22:11, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I must be missing something. I thought that Indian Senior Secondary Schools were for 11th and 12th grades. The main page of the company web site has a line "Futuristic K-12 Schools" at the top of the page. However, when I go to the web site's admission details page ([1]), all I see are ages up through five and one half. What gives? --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 07:29, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of it's also short blurbs about things their students are doing (and some are a little press release-y), but ultimately there is enough content (in some form) for the Shemrock schools and the Shemford parent company. czar ♔ 15:33, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete - agree with nom, and borderline promotional. Deb (talk) 11:11, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Based on my above comment it still appears that Shemford is only operating a primary school, and not a full range of grades. My understanding of consensus on schools is that primary schools are not notable, barring something very special; I don't see evidence of that. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 23:46, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Someone mistaking Wikipedia for a trade directory, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:09, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why the sources I dug up were not recognized? I took the liberty to add a few to the article, and it should be more than sufficient now. There are plenty more to choose from. I'd also recommend expanding the article scope to include "Shemrock" preschools after the AfD closes, since there is so much overlap in coverage. @Deb, Traveling Man, Kudpung, and DGG? czar ♔ 16:31, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
