Saraswati International School

Saraswati International School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

A prod tag placed on this unreferenced article was removed with the explanation that "High schools are always notable." Is that the case here? A Google News search turns up nothing to confirm anything, let alone notability, and it would appear that the article runs afoul of WP:RS and WP:ORG requirements. What does the AfD community think?

  • Neutral not particularly biased, actively harmful, or otherwise objectionable in its present state. Expand when independent sources are located. Don't expand by quoting the school website talking about how great the school is (unfortunately, an AfD often provokes people to do precisely that). cab (talk) 09:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- I think this article should not be deleted. It's not that the article Saraswati International School is promoting the school, it was written with an intention to show that there are many schools in South-Gujarat which are affiliated to CBSE course. In a city like Valsad, it's very prestigious to have such a school. And as we talk of High Schools, than I think that it'll remain a debate forever. I'll post the entire article again, then you guys please remove those lines which are promotive or not meet those long-clousy policies. Please reply to me.

  • Keep It is a policy that high schools are always notable, primary schools have to have something else to show notability too at this point in history. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    No, there is no such policy. Wikipedia:Notability itself is only a guideline. There is only an essay Wikipedia:Inherent notability which supports this view, and this is balanced by WP:NOTINHERITED. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deserves to be kept. What my opinion is that article on every international school SPECIALLY THOSE WHICH ARE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS IN INDIA should be kept on Wikipedia and minimum 100-200 words should be written, because in a country like India; its a great thing to have International Schools.117.192.102.87 (talk) 06:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm all for keeping secondary schools, but there is no difference between a normal secondary school and one that has the word international in its name. -SpacemanSpiffCalvin‡Hobbes 15:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response Offcourse there is some difference, I don't know about other schools; but I can say about Saraswati International School because this school is going to have merger with Cambridge University London in the next few days or maybe some months as the procedure is in process.

  • Keep per general consensus on notability of verifiable high schools. -SpacemanSpiffCalvin‡Hobbes 15:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as for all secondary schools. The AfD community decided long ago that what it though was that these debates are insufficiently productive & it's simpler to keep them all, rather than argue over a possible 10% of non-notables. The actual point about international schools is that it is often easier to find more to say in the article, because of the different curriculums involved. DGG (talk) 18:06, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response That would be per the US (and possibly other countries that I don't know of) definition of an International school, in India, the word international in the name doesn't have the same connotation. -SpacemanSpiffCalvin‡Hobbes 18:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep All the international schools have different curriculums, activities, special staff, special environment and lots more. So I think that all the International Schools on Wikipedia should not be deleted. Sukhoi30mki (talk) 13:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
