Adarsh Shiksha Niketan School[edit]

Tagged Cleanup-School for 3 weeks. No improvements made. Unverifiable, and not-notable. Hipocrite - «Talk» 21:11, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unverifiable. Almost all Google hits are on Wikipedia mirrors. --Coredesat talk 22:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep High school. Verifiable does not mean "verifiable by google". Have you visited a research library in India to check this out? Chicheley 01:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment WP:SCHOOL is neither a policy nor a guideline. There's still nothing in the article that asserts its existence or notability, and no search engines (I have searched on more than just Google) can verify any of its "achievements". The school doesn't even have a website, and if it weren't for the last sentence, there'd be no indication that this is even a high school. --Coredesat talk 02:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable; does not assert any achievements except bare existence; plugs the founder, who apparently founds new schools for a living. ImpuMozhi 02:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable, non-verified. Schools are normally pathetically easy to verify - they get local press mentions for their group activities and for the budget and other political discussions that mention them. If it can't be readily verified, it is clearly not notable. GRBerry 03:11, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the school can be verified through Google as well, but a direct link to their website would be useful if one exists. [1] [2] Yamaguchi先生 08:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It doesn't seem to have one, based on all my searching. --Coredesat talk 10:52, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as it is a verifiable high school. Carioca 21:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak, weak keep, as the second link Yamaguchi has posted mentions that it was founded as a high school, but is now a college, not a high school. Colleges are in a completely different world as far as notability is concerned, and if this article can be expanded to reflect that, I'm fine with it. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 21:38, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article states that there are multiple schools by the same name by the same founder. Presumably, there could also be others by the name with different founders. The college source Yamaguchi found doesn't say where the Adarsh College is. The first link Yamaguchi found matches this article as to name and location, shows it as still a secondary school, but has a page info date in 2000. Has it turned into a college, or is that a different school that used to have this name? I can't tell. GRBerry 18:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for reasons expressed at Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep, secondary schools and colleges are notable. Silensor 22:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Silensor. --Myles Long 17:07, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly noteworthy. 68.144.102.170 10:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Any school should be noteworthy - Lost 11:50, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and allow for organic growth, and to counter any potential systemic bias. Bahn Mi 04:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
