Does not pass criteria set forward by WP:NSCHOOL. It is to be noted that the school was set up only in 2003. And the person being referred to in the History section visited the town 100 years ago. Daiyusha (talk) 11:10, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a school. There are so many Articles are there about schools. Then why you nominated this article for deletion? Phoenix man (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:17, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep:Don't you read the article? The person being referred to in the History section is Sree Narayana Guru. He first built a Temple there. And asks the natives to construct a school also there. What is the problem that you find here ? It is true that the school was constructed in 2003. And I added supporting references too there.Phoenix man (talk)
Please read WP:NORG. Even schools are required to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Are there reliable and independent sources reporting significantly on this school? If so, please share them. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 11:28, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you provide independent sources showing in-depth coverage and analysis of this school? Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 11:37, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Article about Sree Kumaramangalam Public School in Fit India website by Government of India:-

https://fitindia.gov.in/events/fit-india-cycle-day-323/






That's just the run-of-the-mill database entries that every school in every country has. Where is the significant news coverage of the school? Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 12:02, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article being correct or not is not the issue. Please provide in-depth sources showing notability. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 12:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A school having a website does not make it notable. Please read WP:NORG and WP:GNG. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 12:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - all of these several keep votes are from sockpuppets, none of whom have presented even one source that goes any way towards the depth of coverage required to pass WP:NORG or even WP:GNG. As per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, a school is not notable simply because it exists and it clearly says on NORG that schools are required to meet the notability criteria for organisations as with any other organisation. The sources presented in this discussion, and the ones that I stumbled upon in a search, are all, without exception, bare minimum database entries and none of them confer notability. The claim above by IP that this school is "very famous" is not supported by any sources. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 09:22, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This school clearly fails the notability guidelines for schools. I was thinking maybe there would at least be the sourcing out there about Kumaramangalam Subramanyaswamy Temple where it's located to justify an article for it that this could be redirected to, but I couldn't find anything that would warrant an article notability wise for the temple either. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:54, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Schools aren't inherently notable, correct. What suggests that this one is? Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 15:05, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That source contains no significant coverage, nor is it independent of the subject, so it has zero value in this discussion. If this school is as famous as you keep saying, then there should be better sources. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 15:06, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Maskedman Sree: So are schools everywhere. But some schools don't deserve an article just because they "exist". They should have done something notable, or be popular enough in their state to have multiple news articles. Daiyusha (talk) 05:19, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not a criteria. Having an accreditation(CBSE or any state-level education board) is the minimum legal requirement to set up a school in India. CBSE is the country-wide uniform education system, tens of thousands of schools follow it. And it will only keep increasing yearly. Daiyusha (talk) 08:02, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
