The result was keep. The consensus here supports the rule that we consider all secondary schools and colleges with a real existence to be notable. DGG ( talk ) 07:44, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could not locate reliable secondary-sources. Only primary sources, specifically for BEATS (which is not the subject of the article) were found. Fails WP:GNG. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 16:19, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a secondary school per longstanding consensus and precedent. Existence established here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:10, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The source that Necrothesp has identified is not independent, so delete for now, unless reliable independent sources can be found. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:51, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Generally we only require proof of existence for secondary schools. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:36, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Quoting WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are usually kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists". Cordless Larry (talk) 08:09, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep Bharia is a government sponsored foundation that has a relationship with the Pakistani Navy. While their website is not an independent source, I take it as reliable for the purposes of establishing the existence of the school. Numerous articles exist that prove the existence of other schools listed at the website. Independent sources are preferred, but if a secondary school can be established to exist, we generally side with keeping it. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:32, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The source verifies the schools existence so I see no valid reason for deletion, IMHO the schools own website is good as any. (Ofcourse I would prefer better sources however there's not much online especially for those in India so IMHO a school website is better than nothing at all). –Davey2010^Talk 00:51, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the awful formatting as well as added a cleanup tag - I've never wrote an article in my life so I don't even know where to begin on this however I didn't want to remove info that could be of use here, Every little helps as they say, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 01:00, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
